4 4 - 43,2 . ,, t -,-,gl ...-cv., 5 Maalea I Primarily we come to school to learn, and it is in the various departments, with tools un- der the supervision of the skilled craftsmen that individuality comes to the front. Working constantly from the time we enter as freshmen throughout our senior year, we take subjects that will give us a well-rounded education. The English Department is the largest, as English is required in some form, all four years. English I for freshmen gives both grammar and literature work. The students made original notebooks on Lady of the Lake, and studied the composition of' the school library, edited books of original composition, and learned the value of precis writing. The Sophomores in English II published two e-ditions of the School Buzz in a unit on Journalism, made notebook projects on Silas Marner, and learned to write a correct business letter. The Juniors had a course with work in grammar and American literature. Modern American prose and poetry and creative writing were studied by the Sen- iors. They wrote poems, newspaper articles, character sketches, and autobiographies. Their project was a long library investigative theme. To be an intelli-gent reader is becoming in- creasingly more important. This year a new semester course in Comprehensive Reading was introduced. Here students develop a sense of reading enjoyment through free reading and build a 'larger vocabulary 'by studying word derivation. Another one-semester subject con- nected with the Reading course is Speech. Here students learn poise and cultivate ability to speak before a group. Play production and pan- tomime were studied, and as a project for the Dramatic Club, the students produced an ama- teur show. First year Latin was taught this year, and the students completed four conjugations and five declensions and mastered the grammar forms. The French II students studied conver- sation and read French short stories and bio- graphies. , In the History Department, classes proved to be very interesting because of world events during the year. The American History stu- dents watched world happenings and, studying their texts, found explanations of experiences by which the American people have 4 evolved those ideas and ideals with whichpthey face the problems of today. They wrote term papers on fy Www '7aah fbepaaivnenlal - - some subject that especially interested them. The World course is concerned mainly with commonplace things closely associated with mankind throughout the whole of history. The course impresses the students with the impor- tance of knowing worthwhile achievements of mankind in order that they, as Americans, may appreciate their inheritance. Before ending 'high school, all students are required to take a General Science course. This subject has a four-fold purpose, first fto develop and guide the natural scientific curiosity of young people, second, to cultivate scientific methods of approach to problemsg third, to ac- quaint students with the .various sciences so that they may know what further courses to pursue, and fourth, to present a better under- standing of their environment. In the Biology course identification of plants, trees, insects, birds, and animals, is stressed. The human 'body is studied, and good hygiene and living habits are formulated. The students had -projects. At a meeting of business men in a certain city the speaker made this statement: I am willing to spend thirty minutes discussing the relation of chemistry to 'any object in this room or to explain the relation of chemistry to any business in which you are engaged. His state- ment gives an idea of the aim of a high school course in chemistry. The students made pro- jects. Would you be interested in an 'automobile if all that you could do was 'look at it? No . . you want it to do more. The Physics students try to learn about s-ome of the relationships be- tween matter and energy. As a project they surveyed lighting conditions in the school and reported to the School Board on their Endings and suggestions. Why doesn't an iron ship sink? How do airplanes fly? Physics stu- dents have found the answers. The Home Economics Department trains girls so tha-t they will be better prepared to manage their own homes. All freshmen girls are required to take Homemaking I in which they must make one garment with a wise choice as to material and pattern, and plan, prepare, and serve a breakfast and luncheon. In Home- making II Home Management was studied, and each girls made ia scrap book of the ideal home and family. This yevar la 'class known as Every- day Living for Boys was added. The boys stud-

W ' 'rs ' ied Home Economics from a man's view point and made practical applications, such as darn- ing socks and pressing -pants. The course was designed to make boys more home-minded and better family members. The Commercial Department is very large. The Bookkeeping students worked three sets and solved problems in connection with them. In typing, letter writing and addressing envel- opes is stressed. Each student -cut a stencil, mimeographed, and also typed an original de- sign. Shorthand I students are required to write 70 words iaiminute and to know the basic prin- ciples in the manual. The Shorthand II students write 140 words a minute and must read flu- ently and take dictation with ease. In Commer- cial Arithmetic, a semester subject, an inten- sive study is placed on the fundamentals of business. ,A The Industrial Arts Department brings about a better relationship between hand and craft lines. Some student projects were: a writing desk, table lamps, what-nots, combina- tion tvables, footstools and bookends. In the Mathematics Department many phases of the Science of num.bers i are offered. A course in Business Math correlates arithme- tic with bus-iness information. In Plane Geom- etry, students learn to argue with logical reason- ing, and to prove the truth or falsity of state- ments. The students of Solid Geometry learn the extent to which the world about us is three- dimensional. In General Mathematics, mater- ials which tre-at the fundamental ideas of math- ematics are presented. Algebra students study the science of the equation. Since agriculture His the basis of all civil- ization and we live in a farming community, it is very important that we have a good Agri- cultural Department in our school. Students in the various courses 'learn to test soil for essen- tial elements, to select good livestock, poultry, and seeds, and in Farm Management each boy tries to acquire atleast fifteen new farm skills every year to put in practice on the farm.
