mm Commerce In bookkeeping the stu- dents get lots of practice in addition because they have to do two practice sets a year plus their daily exercises. One of the jobs of the office monitor is to run the ditto machine. Here we see Shirley run- ning off the schedule of the week ' s events. Danny Shofner, one of the office practice stu- dents, is putting Books into the storage room. In shorthand II the students learn about office procedures, take dictation, and transcribe letters.

Social Science The six seniors and eleven sopho- mores in World History study the civilizations of the Old World. Their favorite saying is by Santayana; Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. The seniors in American Problems study problems of the American Government, theU.S. Constitu- tion, and the 111. Constitution. A good saying for the seniors to remember was said by Lord North; All power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Home Making The freshmen in Homemaking learn the p’s and q’s of serving meals. The Sophomore class studies the cuts of meats and colors that look best for different complexions. Family Living students discuss many prob- lems which they will face after marriage. Agriculture The agriculture classes learn much about farming and agronomy in general. Every boy has a project which he does his best to develop and on which he keeps records. To those continuing as farmers, the information acquired in the classroom on grain production, stock, soil con- servation, and farm management will be most valuable.
