Courses Train Students for Careers Xo Carnegie credits for graduation are given for subjects taken in the eighth grade, al- though the eighth grade pupils take, on their level, the basic subjects required in the last four years of high school — mathematics, Eng- lish, United States history, science and physi- cal education. Each eighth grader must also take twelve-week exploratory courses in gen- eral business, music, home economics (for girls), and agriculture (for boys). A year of beginning band may be taken in place of the exploratory courses. Completion of the eighth grade is prerequisite to pursuing any one of the three high school courses. •Machixes and ' ocatioxs — C. Goad receives help from .Miss B.
