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.

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. There they are . . . the departments - where we learn and store away knowledge to take with us when Finial Assembly is made. .19 ., BLUEPRINTS . . . Industrial Arts . . . Trio from Speech Class . . .
