Students Enjoy Vocational Courses A new learning experience, individualized instruc- tion, was initiated in home economics. Each student selected the concepts she wished to pursue, with guid- ance from the instructor, and then completed a capsule (written objectives, questions and activities) by securing the answers from many resources. Film strips, tapes, references, pre-tests, and post-tests were made available. Basic capsules were required so each student obtained a background before pro- ceeding. A discussion between student and instructor showed the strength and weakness for evaluation. Three years of home economics, under the guidance of Mrs. Merry Emme, were available for the students. Agriculture I, II, and III were courses offered to boys who live on farms and ranches. These courses included the study of modern techniques in farming and livestock raising. Leonard DeBoer was the in- structor. 28 Steve Leheska practices his speech before the ag class.

Both speed and accuracy are important in typing. Business Department Adds New Courses New courses added to the CHS curriculum this year were business law and business mathematics. Juniors and seniors enrolled in these courses learned the proper way to make and calculate business trans- actions. Bookkeeping courses gave the students the knowledge of how to record these transactions. Typing, a prerequisite for office practice, was again offered at the sophomore level. The senior girls enrolled in the office practice course were given instruction for various office machines as well as general office procedure. Teachers in the business department were Duane Stevenson and Kent Johnson. 27 Corlis Erdman reads a manuscript prepared in office practice.
