In the senior year, the pupil ends his course with French or German III and IV, Physics I and II. United States History and Government, and Algebra III and Trigonome- try, or an elective and Trigonome- try. In the nursing course there is no variation in the tenth grade. How- ever, an accepted elective is taken in the junior year instead of the French or German minor, and in the senior year, instead of French or German III and IV, the elective started as a junior is finished and in the place of Algebra III and Trigonometry, Economics and Modern Social Problems. In the pharmacy course, the tenth grade classes are comprised of English I and II and an elec- tive, (Biology I and II recommend- ed) and a foreign language minor. In the eleventh grade, the classes are English III and IV, American History and Civics, an elective, (Chemistry I and II recommended) and the foreign language minor started as a sophomore. If two years of Latin were com- pleted in the tenth grade, an ap- proved C. P. elective may be chos- en. In the twelfth grade, the stu- dent studies Modern Social Prob- lems and Economics, Physics I and II, and two electives from the ap- proved fields.

TYPING CLASS IN COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Curriculums at Central Offer Variety of Studies Language, Industrial Arts, or Fine Arts departments. In most of the required subjects, another of the same field can be substituted for that required with the approval of a faculty adviser. COLLEGE Preparatory Curricu- lum I offers a number of sub- jects to students who wish to fol- low the professions of law, educa- tion, business administration, and others. The credits derived from this course will meet the require- ments of all Michigan colleges and, in most cases, the colleges outside of the state. In this course, Eng- lish I, II, III and IV is required in the sophomore and junior years and United States History and Government in the senior year. To graduate in this curriculum, the student must have completed at least three years of English, ninth grade English counting, (Senior English and English Literature recommended for seniors in this curriculum) and three years each of work in any of the following approved C. P. I. fields: mathe- matics (ninth grade algebra count- ing), foreign language (Latin B and A taken in ninth grade credit- ed), science and social studies. Two minors are also required. These are chosen from the above fields (the field that the major is being chosen from, exempted, unless it is the foreign language field). The elasticity of the curriculum allows the student, usually, to choose his own subjects and the year in which he wishes to study them. The re- quirements of this curriculum de- pend entirely upon the entrance requirement of the university in which the student wishes to con- tinue his studies. COLLEGE Preparatory Curricu- ' ' lum II prepares for college those students interested in engi- neering or architecture. In his sophomore year, the College Pre- paratory II student studies English I and II, and Geometry I and II. He begins or continues (if he took Latin in the ninth grade) a lan- guage minor. He also chooses an elective (drafting is suggested for pre-engineering students). As a junior, he studies English III and IV, Algebra III and Solid Geome- try, Chemistry I and II, and if he did not take Latin in the ninth grade but did as a sophomore he completes his foreign language minor. If he completed this minor in tenth grade, he chooses a minor elective from the accepted C. P. fields. As a senior, he completes a science minor with Physics I and II.

A SCENE IN MODERN SCIENCE CLASS Curriculums at Central Offer Variety of Studies subject should enroll in the Col- lege Preparatory Curriculum I. In the tenth grade, the student stud- ies English I and II, Foods or Clothing, Modern Science I and II, and an unrestricted choice of ar elective. In the eleventh grade, the student completes an English ma- jor with English III and IV, as ninth grade English is credited.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS Curriculum ' is mainly offered for boys who wish to specialize in mechanics, or who desire immediate employment in this field. This curriculum is divided into five different courses, architectural drawing, machine drawing, machine shop, wood- work and printing. These courses do not differ at all in the academic subjects. In tenth grade the student in this curricu- lum studies English I and II. Shop Mathematics I and II, and Modern Science I and II. In eleventh grade, he takes English III and IV, Amer- ican History, (or in the case of a printing student, there is an alter- native of economic geography) and civics. In the senior year, the stu- dent studies Modern Problems and Economics. In the tenth grade, the architec- tural drawing course demands Ar- chitectural Drawing I and II. In eleventh grade, Architectural Drawing III and IV, and in the senior year, three unrestricted electives. If Drafting I and II were carried in ninth grade and Architectural Drawing i n tenth and eleventh grade, more advanced drawing will be offered in twelfth grade. If Drafting was not taken in the ninth grade by all of the students of this curriculum, (ex- cept printing ones), it must be taken in tenth grade and the rest of that major be completed in the senior year instead of junior year. The machine shop student in tenth grade takes Machine Shop I and II; in the junior year, Machine Shop III and IV. and Machine Drawing I and II; and in the sen- LEARNING RUDIMENTS OF DRAMATICS 1938 Page Fifteen
