NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN mental. Miss Earlenbaugh has organized at Boys' Glee Club, Boys' Quartet, Girls' Glee Club, Girls' Trio, a Girls' Quartet, Mixed Quartet, and an A Ca- pella group. Mr. Faulkner has charge of lst band, 2nd band and orchestra. Both music in- structors gi've lessons. Miss Earlenbaugh gives piano and vocal lessons to some 56 stu- dents. Mr. Faulkner has under his guidance some 30 students. To make the band seem more alive and peppy, Smiley,' de- veloped four drum majors. The drum majors, the band, the glee clubs all have performed splcndidly. Clay Center won first place in the N. C. K. L, music contest which was held in Clay Center. Their success- ful year is due largely to the excellent leadership of the mu- sic directors. Home Economics There are 125 girls which learn domestic arts from Lindy Lindholm. The Home Economics course consists of cooking, sewing and home liv- ing and making. The girls learn to can, boil, broil, fry, bake, scallop, roast and 'burn' in the cooking department. In the sewing department they learn to mend, stitch, patch, seam and use a sewing mach- ine. The course in Home Living teaches the girls how to bal- ance the home budget, decorate the home, and the fundamental principles of home making. Boys, here's your chance if you want to be insured against the possibilities of marrying a girl that can't cook or sew, you better drop back to the Home Ee. room and pick one that you are sure of. Miss Lindholm will guard against failures. Language Two foreign languages are offered. They are Spanish fthe romantic dialectj and Latin fthe dead language of the Cae- sarsb. The Spanish course con- sists mostly of oral study and expression reading. The stu-- dents like Senorita Emerson a great deal. She is very witty, clever and e m o t i o n a l. Her class opens with everyone say- ing Buenos dias, Senorita, Come esta usted? She will answer with a gang of phrases which would stupify a Spaniard. The Latin course consists of much written work about conjuga- tions and d e cle n sion s. The Freshmen who have never de- clined anything harder than a simple English phrase have quite a difficult time tearing apart a sentence and turning it into polished Latin. Our Latin instructor, Miss Carter, has studied much Latin and she has also traveled in the former Latin speaking countries. She is well versed on Caesar and his troubles. IQQQ .ff l Lim i n . if 5 KLM? .lii:1 ,f at ff- l i 5 . lk I Manual Arts For boys who wish to become carpenters or cabinetmakers, Mr. Unger will show them the way. Mr. Unger teaches the boys to construct flower boxes, porch swings, wagon boxes, dog houses or what have you. The first year students learn the principles of manual train- ing. The second year students use the electrical equipment and construct harder pieces -of wood work. ln connection with manual training, mechanical drawing is taught. The mech- anical drawing course consists of forming plans, d r a W in g scales, and drawing plans to scale. The course is quite heavy 9 and extra work is required. Ask any of the manual arts boys how well Mr Unger can throw chalk or use a paddle. Normal Training If you want to have a touch of grade school in your high school Work, visit the Normal Training department. There the students study arithmetic, grammar, geography, history and reading all over again. The state exams are taken in the spring. Miss Crouch, the in- structor, who has been with the faculty for a long time, always sees the best in everyone and helps the future school 'marms' solve their problems. The Nor- mal Training course, however, is not all grind and study. They have dramatizations and visita- tions. The Normal group us- ually puts on several clever chapels during the year. This group is probably the hardest working group in school. Mathematics Every student is required to take a course in beginning al- gebra. Miss Emerson and Mr. Read introduce the subject. Those wishing to take geome- try under Mr. Read have much fun with theorems, corallaries, figures, and board Cboredj work. Commercial arithmetic is taught by Miss Carter. The students who take this subject are those who wish to continue in the commercial Field. Com- mercial students study book- keeping their Sophomore year. They learn the art of filing, ledgering, journalizing, billing. Those students who wish to go on with more math, complete the course by taking solid geo- metry and advanced arithmetic. Vocational Agriculture Vocational argiculturc is a three year course. The first year class studies animal hus- bandry. This study includes such things as animal judging and care of animals. The sec-

ond year class studies crops. Soil erosion, fertilization, and crop rotation are the courses studied. The third year group studies farm management and all out its problems. ln connec- tion with these courses the boys build wagon boxes, Work with tin, mold, solder, and learn me- chanics. The course is one of the most educational, especially for boys who intend to be fu- ture farmers. Pllysiral Education Every student is required to take one year of physical edu- cation with the exception of those who are engaged in orch- estra, band, or athletics. The boys' gymnastical year consists of football, basketball, march- ing, tumbling, baseball and track. The girls' year is com- posed of tumbling, tennis, bas- ketball, posture exercises and cleanliness. The boys think Coach Nelson is too strict about marching. The girls com- plain about Miss Miller always making them put the canvas mats away. Who 's griping? Anyway everyone has a lot of fun. You've missed a lot of high, school if you haven't taken gym. Commerce The commercial course is for the students who wish to be- come s e c r e t a ries Cprivatej, bookkeepers, auditors, or sten- ographers. Coach Nelson, Miss Carter, Miss Lamb, Miss Pom- merenke, and Miss Addie are the instructors who tell us all about the field of business. Coach Nelson is not satisfied until he has stood in front of his typists with his arms folded and instructed them along the lines of rhythm, speed and ac- curacy. Miss Lamb always tells her students at least twice an hour that they can write short- hand just as fast as they can think. Miss Carter makes her students in penmanship write their P's and Q's plainly. Miss Pommercnke and Miss Addie THE C. C. C. H. S. ORANGE AND BLACK teach business English and c o m in e r cial law. NVe have heard that quite a lot of senior boys simply love commercial law. Sciences Beginners in the field of sci- ence learn the principles and formulas from Nr. Friek. Bio- logy is an interesting affair. It is a subject that students, after it is all said and done, wish that they had studied harder. Biology takes up the study of reptiles, bugs, calories, trees and what have you. The study of physics takes up electricity, forces, physical properties and sound. Chemistry is composed of formulas, equasions and ex- periments. These three tech- nical studies are explained to the full extent by Mr. Larson. Miss Pommerenke also teaches Bugology. Civics, sociology and Ameri- can history are the social sci- ences. Civics deals with the branches of government power. American history is a general headache from Columbus to Roosevelt. Term papers are due several weeks before school is out. Then is the time When all American history students burn midnight electricity. Civ- ics and American history are required for graduation. They are taught by a true gentleman from the ole south, Mr. York. Sociology is taught by Miss Emerson. lt is a study in which everybody gives his own opinion about individuals, com- munities, and groups. Our school has an excellent, well.-balanced curriculum. We are proud of these advantages. library The school library is located at one end of the study hall. The library is also open before school and an hour after school. Every year new books are add- ed. All students who have passing grades are eligible to check out any reading mater- ial. .J
