In your choice of a school consider well the opportunities offered by the Dickinson Community High School. You have grown up in the coun- try and have attended a country school .nearly all your life. The sur- roundings that will be most natural and pleasant to you are those that are similar to your country school life. The Dickinson Commu- nity High School offers such surroundings. More than three-fourths of her boys and girls are from the country. Another important mat- ter in considering a school is the character of the work offered. The Dickinson Community High School oifers many practical as well as regular courses. Among the practical things undertaken are Farm Carpentry, Auto Repair, Gas Engine Repair, Cooking, Canning and Preserving, Meal Planning, Preparing, Serving and Buying for the same, Blacksmithing, Steel Tool Making, Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Penmanship, Typewriting, and many others, besides the regular courses in English, Latin, German, History, Mathematics, Science, etc. If you desire to prepare for a commercial position, you will find that many of the business colleges do not offer better courses nor better facilities. Besides you can secure this work free of tuition. If you wish to become a teacher, this school offers the only Normal Training course in the county. By completing the course and taking an examination, you can secure a state certificate to teach in the elementary schools. The musical facilities of the Dickinson Community School are un- excelled. There are opportunities for private lessons in Piano, Voice, Violin, Horn and other band and orchestra instruments, besides fret. instruction in Glee Clubs, Choruses, Band and Orchestra, and many op- portunities for public appearance. If you expect to return to the farm, you should have an ,ambition to be the most intelligent and up-to-date farmer in your community. The Agricultural course of the Dickinson Community High School will prove unusually helpful and beneficial. Our course in Home Economics is unusually strong, not only thor- oughly preparing for homekeeping but teaching economy in spending for the home. If you are planning to go to college, the College Pre- paratory Course of the Dickinson Community High School on its com- pletion will fit you to enter any of the colleges and universities in the North Central states and practically any in the United States. The College Preparatory Course of the Dickinson Community High School is approved by the state educational institutions and the State Board of Education, and its Agricultural course by the Federal Government. If you are interested in machines and desire to know more about ma- chinery, autos, gas engines and the like, the Dickinson Community High School offers unusual opportunities for work along these lines. The equipment, laboratories, and library of the Dickinson Com- munity High School are first-class in every respect. The library is one of the largest school libraries in the state ,and is exceptionally strong in bulletin material on rural schools, agriculture and home making. This feature of the library was pronounced by the Federal inspector as one of the best in the country. The equipment of the Science department is entirely adequate, and in Vocational Agriculture it is exceptionally good, including a DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 15 shop and demonstration farm. The experiments on the farm are under the direction of the Agricultural College at Manhattan and have been continued for a number of years, making the results conclusive and valuable. . STANDING In 1913 the Dickinson Community High School was approved by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This gives the school a standing equal to that of any school in the North Central states. Graduates from the College Preparatory course of the school will be admitted to any of the colleges or universities in this group of states without examination. This makes it easy and convenient for those completing the course to enter not only colleges within the state but those without the state as well. The Community High School has been approved for la number of years to receive state aid for Agriculture. In April, 1918, the school was approved by the Federal Government to receive the state and national aid under the provisions of the Smith-Hughes Act. This will amount to 81,100 during the year 1931-32, ending June 30. One-half of this .amount is paid by the national government and the remainder by the state. The state inspector has passed on the course in the Dickinson Community High School as meeting fully the requirements of the state department. The school is fully approved by the State Board of Education, being ranked Class A, which is the highest class for the state. Gradu- ates of any of the courses will be admitted to the state educational in- stitutions and colleges of the state without examination, but if one ex- pects to go to college, it would be better to select a course that will more nearly fit him for college work. This information is quite fully given under the heading of Graduation on a following page of this catalogue. WORK BY DEPARTMENTS MECHANICS The Dickinson Community High School has kept pace with the rapid development of our industrial nation. The courses in Wood- work, Farm Carpentry, Forge and Motor Mechanics have been changed from time to time to meet the needs of the community. The Woodwork and Carpentry shop is a well lighted room, 32x44 feet. The equipment consists of a double lathe, band saw, Universal saw, jointer, spindle shaper, emery wheel, electric glue pot, 19 wood- work benches, and an ample supply of tools. The Forge and Motor Shop is a well lighted room, 34x44 feet. The equipment consists of 10 forges of modern type, connected with an overhead exhaust system. Three of the forges are connected with the power blast, the other forges have hand-operated blowers. The Motor equipment is unusually ample and complete. It con- sists of all necessary hand tools, an electric drill, cylinder hone, cylin- 16 DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL der gauge, connecting rod aligner, valve lathe, valve reseating ream- ers, a complete set of adjustable and non-adjustable reamers, and a set of SAE and USS taps and dies. The chief aim of the Mechanics Course is to give such training that will make more efficient farmers. AGRICULTURE Agriculture is recognized ,as one of the major sciences. From the fact that the world is and always will be dependent upon agricultural products we may safely conclude that this field offers as great possi- bilities as any for the ambitious, especially for those who have an ag- ricultural background upon which to build. The Dickinson Community High School is recognized by those who are competent to judge as being one of the strongest Agricultural high schools in the state. The natural surroundings, diversification of crops and superior quality of livestock in the community give the school the high rank which it now holds in this Work. It was approved April, 1918, for state and federal aid under the provisions of the Smith-Hughes Act, which brings 51,100 to the school during the current year ending June 30, to be used for Agricultural purposes. One-half of this amount is paid by the Federal government and the remainder by the State. The Coursein. Agriculture is being maintained with very little cost to the communityg it is almost entirely supported by the State and Federal Aid. The work of the department is the practice as well as the theory of Agriculture along the lines of livestock, poultry, crops, soils and farm management problems. For the past six years a class project in poultry production has been carried on giving the student an opportunity of putting into ac- tual practice some of the things studied in poultry husbandry. In addition the projects have returned a profit each year demonstrating certain possibilities along the lines of egg production. Individual projects and home practice is also a feature of the course, thereby giving the student an opportunity to compete for scholarships offered to the students of agriculture by various organi- zations. The student also has the benefit of supervised instruction during the summer months as well as during the time school is in session. The work of the demonstration farm is co-operative with the Kan- sas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science and is one of the few plots throughout the state conducted by vocational schools, from which the college gets its data along lines of variety, yields, fertilizer tests, etc. The farm consists of eight acres that have been laid off in plots for demonstrations and fertilizer tests, rotation of crops, soil exhaus- tion and variety tests in wheat, oats, corn and clover. This demon- stration farm furnishes very practical material for work in crops and soils. Field trips, for the purpose of stock judging, building observa- tions, and poultry culling, are arranged to correlate with class work, thus giving thetstudent the opportunity to put into practice the teach- ings of 'the classroom in' many activities, which will be encountered in later life. j ' ' ' The Dickinson'Comrnunity High School with its many advantages offers the student coming from the farm the proper atmosphere for DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 17 Agricultural work, which of necessity will always be one of the fields which furnish unlimited opportunities for the ambitious young person with inclinations toward agricultural lines. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics department offers two years work. With our present plan the food classes prepare some of the food that is served in the cafeteria. This plan eliminates the general criticism of foods work, that girls cook in such small quantities that they are not able to go home and prepare the same foods which they have prepared at school. The goal of the foods course is to teach a girl what foods she and her family should have in order to meet the body requirements in the most economical way from the standpoint of time, energy and money. The formal classroom method will not be used but girls will work in- dividually or in small groups thus developing more independence and managerial ability. Some time will be given to study and experi- mental work. The Department of Household Art has been reorganized so as to give the girls a wider and more complete training for home making. Teaching the girls to sew will be only one of numerous aims. A thor- ough study will be made of different textiles. The girls will be taught to plan their own wardrobes so that they will be economical as well as beautiful and becoming. The Household Art Courses will also include work in home planning, furnishing, decoration, and house- keeping. COMMERCE The work of the Commercial Department, which is a well-organ- ized and well-equipped division of the school, is practical and com- plete. The course affords the students an opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities. It trains them to become efficient sec- retaries and stenographers in modern business oflices, and because it includes a background of fundamental subjects it is better suited to the average boy or girl than the strictly commercial course ofered in many business schools. This past year a course in Salesmanship was given, and it has proved to be an interesting and helpful subject. In recent years this department has ranked high in the field of typewriting. The 1932 typists have been as successful as were the 1931 group. This year in the Every Pupil Contest held March 30, 1932, they won first place in the Central Kansas League, and placed tirst among the 15 schools of the new Fourth Congressional District and ninth among the schools of the state. In the Chapman section of the State typing contest held on April 23, 1932, Dickinson typists won first place and received another fine trophy. These records made in this period of strong competition speak highly for the type of work done in typewriting. MUSIC No other school in this section of the state and it is doubtful if any other high school in Kansas offers as many opportunities for mu- sical edueation as the Dickinson Community High School. The musical organizations and the numerous opportunities for ap- pearance before the public are of unusual value in stimulating inter- DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 19 est and developing proliciency in music students. Among the organi- zations are a Freshmen Chorus, a Boys' Glee Club, a Girls' Glee Club, a Band, and an Orchestra. Beginning with the year 1921, credit has been given for work in any of these organizations. In the Central Kansas League Music Contest in 1932, Dickinson Community High School placed fifth. The Girls' Sextet took first place in the contest, and the Mixed Chorus took second place in the contest. The six other schools contesting were: Salina, Abilene, Her- ington, McPherson, Lindsborg, and Ellsworth. Full credit is given for the work taken with the music instructors and thus music is placed on an equal footing with other subjects. Time is allowed for practice the same as for the preparation of other lessons. Private lessons in music on any instrument will be given for thirty-live cents per lesson to regularly enrolled students. There were five graduates from the Music department this last yearg piano, Martha Ann Kiliang violin, Marguerite Shepard, piano, Ethel Pierce, violin, Grace Ryan, piano, Mildred Lawrence. EQUIPMENT BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS The Dickinson Community High School is located in the west part of the city of Chapman in a grove of trees, and uses at present the main building, the Community Building, the shop, and a garage. An Auditorium-Gymnasium was completed in 1923. It will seat an audience of one thousand and furnishes an excellent floor for gym- nasium. There is also a dining hall in the basement that will seat at least four hundred. This is used for banquets. A new garage was built in 1929 on the lots east of the tennis courts. It is used for storing the busses, for lumber storage, etc. The campus covers an entire large block and a part of the block lying on the east. It is well sodded with blue grass and shaded with fine trees. RECITATION ROOMS, LIBRARY, ASSEMBLY HALL, ETC. There are twenty rooms in the main building all of which are used for school purposes. The building of the Auditorium-Gymnasium has given additional room, especially for domestic science and music. EQUIPMENT The library is supplied with more than 8,000 volumes, including pamphlets and bulletins bearing upon about every subject of present day interest. It was indexed by a. skilled cataloguer who made every book and pamphlet readily accessible to the student. The Commercial department is supplied with twenty typewriters, a neostyle, a. Beck duplicator, an adding machine, a complete set of 20 DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL blank books, and modern indexing systems. In 1927 new typewriting desks and tables were purchased. The Music department is supplied with band and orchestra in- struments, besides four pianos and a Victrola. The Domestic Science department is equipped with tables, cabi- nets, all necessary cooking utensils, new steel lockers, gas table stoves and two gas ovens. An 8-acre demonstration plant and the laboratory equipment that is necessary for efficient work belong to the Agricultural department. The Manual Training department possesses a band saw, lathe, ten forges and' work benches. The Science department is thoroughly equipped for work in physics and chemistry ,and is equally well sup- plied for botany and physiology. It has an electric incubator, a still for distilling water, scales, five microscopes and ,all other apparatus which is necessary to the teaching of scientific subjects. All the academic departments as English, Latin, Mathematics, History, etc., are well supplied with maps and such other material as is necessary for the best instruction. GENERAL INFORMATION ADMISSION You will be admitted as a special student of the Dickinson Com- munity High School without a common school diploma, if you are sixteen years of ,age and there is no grade school in your district.

RULES Students are assumed to be ladies ,and gentlemen and at all times will be treated as such. Responsibility for study hours and conduct should be assumed by teachers, parents, and rooming-housekeepers, ,,, ll! U DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 21 who shall cooperate with the principal to maintain the best conditions for study and recreation. As many of the students are away from home for the first time, it is thought best to provide a few general regulations: 1. Students should not interfere with their fellow students by vis- iting them during working hours. 2. On school nights, study hours should be planned from 8 to 10 o'clock and as nearly as possible, should be regular. 3. Students should report their rooming places and intended changes to the principal. 4. Lodging and rooming-housekeepers shall require good conduct on the part of the roomers and should give the principal immediate notice of anything to the contrary. 5. Any complaint of students in regard to lack of conveniences and accommodations necessary to good health and comfort will re- ceive the prompt attention of the principal. 6. Parents are requested to check up carefully on the use of au- tomobiles ,and see that they do not interfere with school work. 7. Students should not attend dances without special permission from their parents or guardian. 8. No money raised by school activities or entertainments shall be expended for personal or class uses but shall be expended for school purposes on the approval of the principal. GRADUATION On graduation from any four-year course the student will re- ceive a diploma. If he completes a full year of post graduate work he will receive an additional diploma indicating the character and amount of work done. If the student completes three full years of music in addition to the requirements for graduation from any of the regular courses except the music course, he will receive a music certificate. Students making very high averages in the four years' work will be awarded high honor diplomas. Those making high averages will be .awarded honor diplomas. The students graduating from any regular course of the Dickin- son Community High School will be admitted to the freshman class in any of the educational institutions and colleges of the state. If a stu- dent graduates from the College Preparaory course he will be ,ad- mitted without examination to any of the colleges or universities of the North Central states, as the DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL IS FULLY APPROVED BY THE STATE BOARD OF ED- UCATION, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, and NORTH CEN- TRAL ASSOCIATION OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND COL- LEGES. These recognitions place the Dickinson Community High School in the highest rank of efficiency. Those completing the College Pre- paratory course in piano, violin or voice will be admitted without ex- amination to the freshman class of the State University School of Music and likewise the freshman class of other schools of music. Students expecting to enter on graduation any special state edu- cational institution will find the following outline of preferred en- trance conditions helpful: If it is desired to enter the Kansas State Agricultural College to take a course in agriculture, home economics, DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' GLEE CLUB DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 23 or general science, the high school work should consist of three units of English, two units of mathematics lalgebra or geometryj and one unit of physics. For courses in the division of engineering the high school work should include, in addition to the preceding, another unit of mathematics, of which one-half credit must be in algebra, and one- half in geometry.

Not more than three units from this group are recommended. i HONOR STUDENTS Several years ago the faculty of the Dickinson Community High School decided to award special recognition to those who had done extra good work in the classroom. It was agreed that all students making very high grades should be awarded high honor diplomas. These are in addition to the diplomas granted to all graduates of the school. It was felt that athletic students, debaters, class play students and music students receive many forms of recognition, while the stu- dents doing exceptionally good work in their studies received no form of recognition that distinguished them from the average student of the school. The senior roll for this year follows: High Honor: Martha Ann Kilian, Mildred Lawrence, Iola Mc- Cracken, Marie Krehbiel, Josephine Gallagher, Fern Baer, Grace Ryan. Honor: Margaret Bross, Irene McCracken, Billy Kilian, Ethel Eisenhower, Elmer Jones, Madeline Rieck, Lawrence Ryan, Mary Stam, Milton Senti, Dean Harding, Frank Heller, Eldred Sprecher. In addition to the honor and high honor diplomas granted to seniors on graduation, honor and high honor certificates are granted each year to those making grades comparing to those made by the honor graduates. DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL D. C. H. S. ORCHESTRA DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH scHooL 25 SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Every modern school has a number of activities outside the class room which are often as educative as the classroom work. Nearly all high schools liberally support athletic activities. The Dickinson Community High School aims to support all student activities that in any way contribute to student interest and betterment of the school. Musical, debating, declaiming, religious and social activities are fostered. PUBLIC SPEAKING No accomplishment is more useful to the American citizen than the ability to express himself clearly ,and effectively in public. The skillful use of the spoken word is coming more and more in demand. Many public appearances are provided for the students of Dickinson Community High School, so that they may acquire this accomplish- ment. The Expression department now oiers a full course in beginning expression. This class is open to all students, except freshmen. The rural churches, community gatherings, the clubs, and various organi- zations have made .demands upon these students for entertainments. A class in debate, oratory and extemporaneous speaking is given to train students for the Central Kansas League Contests. This class is maintained for the purpose of developing the persuasive powers of its members and to promote interest in general forensic activities. The course offers splendid opportunities for the student to develop his forensic talents by active participation in argumentation and public speaking. The talent developed in this class produces a constant sup- ply of material for future debate teams and orators. Besides this department, there are other opportunities for ap- pearance in public. The assembly programs and the Literary So- ciety furnish occasions for practice in musical performances, debate, extemporaneous speech and declamation. Each year a class play is given by the Junior class and the Senior class. The Junior play is given just previous to the Christmas holidays. Polishing Papa was the Junior play in 1931. The Senior play is given on the Friday night preceding Commencement Week. The Gypsy Trail was the Senior play of the Class of 1932. In the Central Kansas League Debate Tournament, Dickinson was represented by Elmer Jones, Gene Carroll, Elwood Jones and Dor- othy Switzer. The question for debate was, 'iResolved, that the sev- eral states should enact legislation providing for compulsory unem- ployment insurance. Elwood Jones represented Dickinson in the Central Kansas League in oratory and also in the contest sponsored by the Kansas City Star. The title of his oration was The Citizen, His Duties Under the Constitution. Dorothy Switzer read for Dick- inson in the Central Kansas League Declamation Contest. The title of her reading was, Friday Afternoon at the Village School. The Gypsy Trail was the Senior play. The play was given on May 21, the Friday night preceding Commencement Week. The play was recommended by Samuel J. French as one of the best this year. ATHLETICS During the past year the Dickinson Community High School en- joyed one of its best years in athletics, and we believe the coming 26 DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL year will be another Dickinson year. Competing in one of the fastest leagues in the state, the Central Kansas League, we have compe- tition which is the very best. The other members of the league are Abilene, Salina, Ellsworth, Lindsborg, McPherson and Herington. In football, the team tied with Salina for the championship, scor- ing 104 points to 13 for the opponents. Eight lettermen of the cham- pionship team return to defend their title. The season's scores were Dickinson .... 0 Wamego ........ 0 Dickinson .... 7 Herington ...... 0 Dickinson .... 7 Hope .............. 0 Dickinson .... 0 Salina ............ 7 Dickins0n..13 Lindsborg .... 6 Dickinson .... 0 Ellsworth ......

The team was inexperienced but at times played winning basketball, reaching its climax by defeating the tournament favorite, Lindsborg, at the State Regional Tournament at Salina. Five let- termen return to form the nucleus of a veteran basketball team which should land Dickinson near the top when the curtain falls at the end of the next season. Dickinson track team won in dual competition with Junction City 77 to 57 and a week later from I-Ierington 90 to 51. The team placed second in the Central Kansas League meet at Salina, third at the Minneapolis Relays, ,and third at the State Re- gional Meet at Salina. Three school records were broken by the 1932 team. The half mile record was lowered from 2 min. 14 sec. to 2 min. 5 sec. by Mar- tin Kassner, the mile relay from 3 min. 51 sec. to 3 min. to 40 sec. members of 'team Noel, Phillips, Woods, and Kassner, and the medley relay from 3 min. 53 sec. to 3 min. 36.7 sec. members of team Mc- Donald, Hoover, Noel and Kassner. Four lettermen return to form the nucleus for next year's team. The purpose of the Girls' Division of the Athletic Association is 'to improve the health and physique of the girls in school, to create a love of sports and to foster the idea of good sportsmanship. Mem- bership in this organization is open to all the girls who are members of the D. C. H. S. Athletic Association. This organization is regu- lated by the D. C. H. S. Athletic Board. The organization is new but it has proved to be very much worth while. The girls meet twice a week for practice play. Points are given for winning a place on the team in each of the following sports: Hikes, soccer, volley ball, basketball, indoor and outdoor baseball, tennis, hockey and golf. Scholarship requirements must be met. Points may also be won in good posture and in first aid. A girl is awarded a small or pocket- size letter for winning 500 points, a large letter for winning 1,000 points and a medal for each additional 500 points. Girls winning medals this year were Myrtle Chamberlin, Miriam Hoover, Margaret Bross and Alice Egbert. DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 27 LECTURE COURSE To come frequently under the influence of powerful and able lecturers and talented people is in itself an education. In order to realize this, the management of the Dickinson Community High School has endeavored to secure the best possible talent. The season ticket for the six numbers was reduced to 51.50, and a further re- ductio.n is contemplated for the coming year. The following talent for the year 1932-33 has been secured: two plays, The Bubble, and The Taming of the Modern Shrew, three musical numbers, Waldemar Geltch, violinist, assisted by Miss Orcut, pianistg the Filipino Varsity Four, and the Jack Wood's Bell Ring- ersg and one lecture by Samuel Grathwell. MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS There are five musical organizations in the Dickinson Commu- nity High School besides the regular four-year courses of instruction in piano, voice, and violin. The musical organizations include two glee clubs, a mixed chorus, a band, and an orchestra. The Class of 1931 gave the band a new sousaphone, and several other instruments were added by the school. Uniforms were also pur- chased for the band. Arrangements have been made to continue the band practice for the summer. Concerts will be given regularly ev- ery Wednesday evening with rehearsals on Monday evenings. Mr. Curt E. Engwicht, leader of the band and orchestra, will give individual instruction on all band and orchestra instruments this sum- mer. There will be a course of twelve lessons. The fee for high school and grade pupils will be 35 cents per lesson and 50 cents to others. A one-half credit will be given to high school students for the summer term. RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS AND INFLUENCES The Dickinson Community High School has the distinction of be- ing one of the first schools to organize a Y. M. C. A. Mr. D. F. Shirk, a member of the first faculty, was leader and organizer of this first Y. M. C. A. in the old Dickinson County High School. The or- ganization is now known as the Hi-Y. The Girl Reserves enjoyed an unusually successful year in their enrollment, attendance and enthu- siasm. They sent a delegation to the conference at Concordia and last year were represented by several delgates at Camp Wood. Perhaps no town of its size in Kansas has better church facilities than Chapman. There are three church organizations: Catholic, Lutheran and Federated. To all these students are welcome, and on Sundays during the school year they often form the greater part of the congregation and Sunday School classes. ALUMNI The Dickinson Community High School is supported by an un- usually strong and enthusiastic Alumni Association. Every alumnus, of whom there are now over one thousand, stands for the best inter- ests of the school and uses his influence for advancing its success. Annually on Commencement Day the alumni members meet in a friendly baseball contest. This is one of the special features of Com- mencement week. After the Commencement exercises the alumni banquet is served amid toasts and speeches which arouse oldtime en- thusiasm and recall the pleasures and experiences, now almost for- 28 DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL gotten, while attending the Dickinson Community High School. These banquets rival most colleges in program and spirit of the banqueters. Strangers ,always express surprise, and state that it reminds them cf college banquets. This year the Class of 1892, the first class graduating from the old County High School, held a reunion celebrating their fortieth an- niversary. A picture and roster of the class will be included in this catalog. The data for a new alumni directory has not been secured in time for this catalog but will, no doubt, be ready by next year. COURSE OF STUDY-GENERAL The course of study as outlined on the following pages is intend- ed as a guide and standard for four years of high school work. It is quite impossible to plan for every individual need but it is believed that the nine courses outlined will meet satisfactorily all the ordinary Wants of Dickinson Community boys and girls, and more fully than most schools are able to meet them. This is true because of the large teaching force, extensive equipment, and the choice of electives allowed the student in the general course which may be made with the sanction of the principal. Under ordinary circumstances a student will be required to carry four subjects besides drills. Permission may be given the student by the principal to carry five subjects if in his judgment the health and maturity of the student warrants. On account of immaturity and poor health a student may be allowed to carry a less number than four. The following requirements are made by the State Board of Education: An accredited high school must offer at least five of the follow- ing groups: English, Mathematics, Social Science, Science, Foreign Languages, Commercial Subjects, Industrial Subjects, Music and Art. No student should be permitted to graduate until he has successfully completed fifteen units of work selected according to the following plan: 1. Two majors of three units each: The first major in English, 3 units ........................,...A........................... 3 The second major from one of the remaining groups, 3 units .... 3 2. Two minors of two units each: First minor in social science funless social science has been se- lected as the second majorl 2 units .................................................... 2 Second minor from one of the remaining groups, 2 units ............ 2 3. One-half unit of Constitution of the United States is required of all students before graduation. 4. One unit either or mathematics or a laboratory science. qMathematics refers to Algebra and Geometry. Laboratory science refers to Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Botany.b ........ 1 5. The remaining units may be selected from one or more of the eight groups ................................................................................................ 4 15 Under this scheme certain facts should be observed: Six units are prescribed for graduation from an accredited high schoolg three units in English, two units of social science, including DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 29 one-half unit of Constitution of the United States, and one unit of mathematics or a laboratory science. Students of a foreign language should be urged to complete at least two units of the elected language before discontinuing the study or changing to another language. A minor in foreign language is two units of the same language. One unit in each of two languages is not a minor. No student in a Class A or Class B high school can graduate without taking courses in at least five of the eight groupsg and in Class C and Class D schools, students are required to take courses in at least four of the eight groups. More or less intensive work is insured in the requirement of two majors of three units each. The student is given large discretion in the choice of subject matter, in that he may select freely one major, one minor, and units not prescribed. Unit subjects must be completed before credit in either semester can be permanently recorded. The half unit in unit subjects cannot count toward graduation until the unit is completed.

DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SQUADAC. K. L. CO-CHAMPIONS 1932 DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH scHooL 41 COURSE OF STUDY-DETAIL For ,all courses, three units of English, two units of social science, including one-half unit of U. S. Constitution and one unit of either mathematics or laboratory science, making a total of six units, are required. In order to receive a credit in any subject one must have in that subject at the close of the term a passing grade of seventy-five per cent, the school year being divided into two terms of eighteen weeks each. Higher standards are required in some subjects. Final examinations, will be given to all students and will count one-third in determining the final grade. It is expected that the student will give at least one and one-half hours' time to the preparation of each lesson. Systematic study for each day's recitation, on the part of the student, is absolutely neces- sary for satisfactory work. LATIN Beginning Latin. fTwo Termsb. Special attention is given to declensions, conjugations, and rules of grammar ,as related to English grammar. Latin, First Yearl' by McGoffin and Henry was used as the text last year. It will be used again this year. The first eighty lessons, together with some supplementary reading, are studied the first year. Second Year Latin fTwo Termsl. Berry and Lee, Second Year Latin Book will be used. Latin construction, literal and free transla- tion are required. The life of Caesar and the Roman history of his time receive careful consideration. Latin Composition. Two terms in the second year of Latin and two terms in the third. Thirty lessons for each year from Bennett's Latin Composition. Bennett's Latin Grammar is required with the composition. Part one of the composition book is studied when Caesar is read: Part two when Cicero is read. One day each week for two years is devoted to Latin composition, the translating of English into Latin. The grammatical rules applying to the exercises are carefully studied. GERMAN Beginning German CTwo Termsb. A first year of German was offered at the opening of school in September, 1927, and has been con- tinued each year with an increased enrollment. Text: Fundamentals of German by H. C. Thurman. Second Year German fTwo Termsl. A second year of German has been offered for the past two years with marked success. It will be offered again this year. German stories ,and exercises are read and analyzed. ENGLISH English fEight Terms.J Six terms of English are required. The fourth year-two terms-is optional. The course of study is planned to meet -the needs of the students who will enter college and of thpse DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Y Fix wi 4 f, squat? : ,Xi-1 -1 ,rwsr JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 43 whose school days will close at the end of the high school course. In writing the student is expected to acquire a fair knowledge of spell- ing, sentence structure, punctuation, idiom, division into paragraphs: in literature, ability to read with accuracy, intelligence and appre- ciation. First Year, First Term. The work of this term is devoted to a thorough reviewing of the principles of grammar, the various forms of the sentence, and the .application of the rules of punctuation. Stress is placed upon the study of the sentence, its structure, analysis, rela- tion of its parts, and recognition of the difference between parts of a. sentence and a complete sentence. A theme a week from each pupil is the ideal requirement. Subjects for composition are based upon pupils' observations, experiences, reading, current events, school and home activities, and subjects that call for the expression of pupils' judgment and opinion. A number of supplementary texts are used, but the one required for this term is Miller's English Essentials for the High School. First Year, Second Term. The study of literature and required reading of approved books and magazines is given the prominence this term, but a review and application of the principles studied the first term will be continued. The Literature and Life, Book One will be studied. Represen- tative selections of adventure, legend and hustory, poetry, historical drama, and ideals of democracy, written by modern and classic writers will be studied and adapted, according to the ability, size and appre- ciations of the class. The book required for home reading the first semester this year was Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery. For this semester each student is required to read two books se- lected from a list from which he may choose. Assignments are given oral and written work which call for per- sonal opinion and arouse admiration for worthy characters and noble deeds portrayed in literature, and for those recognized at the present time. Second Year, First Term. Study began last year in English Es- sentials for the High School was continued this year. Exercises from supplementary texts and reviews from standardized English tests have been used freely as basic study and drill in technical gram- mar, sentence structure, and current English usage. This term is devoted to theme writing upon subjects related to the fstudent's experience, interests and activities, and to practical forms. The past year a number of the students exchanged letters with Hawaiian students doing sophomore work. In all composition work the mechanics of writing are emphasized: capitalization, spell- ing, punctuation, sentence structure and diction, verb usage, agree- ment of the verb with its subject, and case form of the pronoun. David Copperfield was the book assigned for home reading the past year. Second Year, Second Term. The text, Literature and Life, Book Two by Greenlaw-Stratton was used the past year. Short stories in verse and prose written by eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth century writers are the ones given the most intensive study. Among these were: The Prisoner of Chillon, Enoch Arden, Sohrab and Rustum, Silas Marnerf' Dr, I-Ieidegger's Experiment, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Third Ingredient, and The Man Who Was. Studies were made of representative writers of the Colonial and Revolutionary Periods and of a few selections by Irving, Emerson, DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL A. A. GIRLS DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 45 Thoreau, ,and Holmes. Poetry by Poe and Longfellow was read and compared with modern poetry as written by Sandburg, Frost, Masters, Robinson, and Teasdale. Assignments for composition this term were based upon subjects that might lead the pupil to analyze, in a simple way, various voca- tions and to express his own personal inclination along certain lines of work. Other assignments called for reproduction of reading con- tent and expression of personal opinion of reading material of the pu- pil's own choosing. For reading outside of the text, three half periods each week were given in class. This counted toward the two books required to be read for class credit. Third Year, First Term. The first term is devoted to theme writ- ing of the expository type. Along with this the mechanics of writ- ing are emphasized as sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization, diction, verb usage, forms of the relative and the personal pronouns, agreement with antecedent, as set forth in the English Essentials for the High School by Paul Miller. This book will be used in the junior class for the first time in the school year beginning September, 1932. Third Year, Second Term. The text, Literature and Life, Book IV, by Greenlaw and Miles, is used this term. This year the classes studied intensively Macbeth,'l Essay on Dr. Samuel Johnson, The Deserted Village, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, sev- eral lyric poems and metrical romances by Burns, Wordsworth, Lord Byron, Shelley, Scott, Thomas Moore, Tennyson, and several prose extracts by twentieth century prose writers and poems by twentieth century poets. Students are urged to read selections in the text that cannot be studied intensively in class for want of time. A period of two weeks is given to the study of technique of news- paper writing. The news-story, feature story, human interest story, and editorial are touched upon as to structure, style, and use of words. Students are required to write leads for five news-stories. The To- peka Capital is used for one week. Home Reading: Every student is required to read at least four standard works of fiction outside the class, chosen from a. list pre- pared for high school students by National Council of Teachers of English. Every one was required to read in addition, this year, The Tale of Two Cities. Fourth Year, First Term. One-half the number enrolled in this course take newspaper writing the first term and put out the Dickin- sonian, the school paper, eight numbers each semester. The staff also write school items for the Chapman Advertiser and the Abilene Re- flector. The week the Dickinsonian is not put out, the students an- alyze news-stories selected from the Topeka Capital and the Kansas City Star and Times and discuss them in class. They also practice writing leads from data given in text by Borah, News Writing. The other half make a study of editorial writing, collect, analyze, and classify editorials and write editorials for the Dickinsonian. They also study the technique and the various types cf the stort-story and read 30 short stories from authors as Richard Harding Davis, O. Henry, Frank Richard Stockton, Bret Hart, Kate Douglas Wiggin, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Rudyard Kipling, William Allen White, Joseph Hergesheimer, and others. A small text American Short Stories, is studied in class. Fourth Year, Second Term.

MATHEMATICS Algebra fTwo Termsj. The elements of this course are correl- ated with arithmetic, geometry, the related subjects, and the problems of every day life. The four fundamental mathematical processes are stressed with due emphasis placed upon the relative importance of skill, speed, and accuracy in the mastery of each. The general aim is to develop some appreciation of the power of mathematics in the progress of civilization, in the activity of the world, and to give such mathematical information as is generally recognized as a part of a liberal education. Text: First Course in Algebra, Engelhardt and Haertter. Algebra, Advanced f0ne Termj. This course is open to students who have completed the course in Elementary Algebra. The work in- cludes a. review of the principles of algebra, an extension of the topics studied in the elementary course, ,and practical applications of mathe- matics. New topics considered are fractional, negative and zero ex- ponents, radicals, simultaneous quadraticsg logarithmsg imaginaries. Text: Second Course in Algebra, Engelhardt and Haertter. Plane Geometry fTwo Termsl. The course in plane geometry is correlated with solid geometry, trigonometry, arithmetic, and algebra. In itself it is a study of the properties and relation of points, lines, angles, and all figures of two dimensions. Logical argument is taught and practiced through proving theorems and originals. Accuracy and conciseness of statement of thought is stressed. Important aims are to give a better understanding of the properties and relations of the common geometric forms, including their measurement, and to give some appreciation of the beauty and utility of geometric forms in nature, architecture, and other constructions seen in every day life. Text: Plane Geometry, Strader and Rhoads. Solid Geometry QOne Terml. A continuation of space relation- ship to figures of three dimensions, the study of surface areas and volumes, and properties and measure of solid angles. Open to stu- dents who have completed the course in Plane Geometry. Offered second semester. Text: Solid Geometry, Strader and Rhoads. A minor in mathematics consists of elementary algebra and plane geometry. A major includes solid geometry and advanced algebra in addition to the course required for a minor. SCIENCE Physical Geography fOne Termj. This course is offered for stu- dents in the first year, who wish to make a major or minor in Science. It is offered during the second semester. Text used is New Physical Geography by Tarr and Von Englen. Biology QTwo Termsj. For sophomores. Text Book: New Gen- eral Biology by Smallwood-Reveley-Bailey. There is a state wide trend to substitute General Biology for Botany in the high schools. A course in Biology was offered in this school last fall, 1930. A biology course includes much that is found in botany and much that is never mentioned in the ordinary botany course. It is thought that biology gives a broader background for college work and develops correct attitude toward activities in rela- tion to living things. It aims to bring out the facts about life and DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 49 to create ,an interest in living things, their problems, their adjust- ments, their habits, and their similarity to the human family. It should be a wonderful aid to the person expecting to teach Nature Study as well as furnishing any one a live interest throughout the years. The laboratory with this course trains the pupil in making correct observations and recording them in an orderly manner. Physics fTwo Termsl. For juniors and seniors. Text: New Practical Physics 119293 by Black and Davis. Perhaps no subject offered to the pupil has a more practical nature than physics. While it presents the fundamental laws, that have been discovered about our universe-it remains a fact that these same laws constitute the foun- dation upon which our present industrial and commercial life rests. Scarcely any activity is carried on in our present complex life, but we conform to some physical law. Knowing these laws and applying them makes our work easier and safer. In the laboratory the pupil observes the operation of the law in experiments, verifies observations and facts, and learns the principles upon which our machines are con- structed. Reports of experiments and observations are made in writ- ten form. The time is so divided that three days per week formal class work is carried on and two days, ninety minutes are given over to laboratory work. Normal Training Agriculture fTwo Termsb. This course will con- sist of a careful consideration of garden, field and orchard crops, be- sides animal husbandry and soil study. It will be the aim of the course to give the student a correct understanding of the ordinary problems of farm life and to prepare him to properly teach agricul- ture in the rural schools. Such subjects as soil fertility, soil conserva- tion, moisture conservation, selection of seed, preparation of the ground, and the best methods of cultivation will be considered. An- imal life and its relation to man, soil, and crops will receive due con- sideration as well as factors relating to the marketing of farm products. Landscaping is also taken up as a factor dealing with school and home. This course offers a rather general consideration of agricul- tural topics and is organized only for those making preparation to teach. The text used is: The New Agriculture by Waters. Physiology f0ne Termj. In Physiology will be studied the cause of infectious diseases and the practical preventive measures in pre- serving individual and public health. A study is also made of the structure, function, and proper care of the bodily organs, with draw- ing work and dissection wherever possible. Text: Healthful Liv- ing, Williams. Chemistry iTwo Termsj. For juniors and seniors. Text: High School Chemistry, by Bruce. Rapid strides are being made, at the present time, in knowledge and application of chemistry. Almost every industrial institution now employs a private chemist or supports a staff of chemists who investigate and pass upon the qualities and properties of the raw ma- terial purchased and the output thrown on the market. For those who find an aptitude for chemistry within themselves, there is a wide field of opportunity beckoning to them. Besides the concept of the structure of matter, and the funda- mental laws of chemical activity the ,author emphasizes the industrial application of chemistry. The discussions within the text and in reci- tation are supplemented by laboratory exercises, thus giving the stu- dent opportunity to observe chemical behavior, properties and laws DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL GIRL RESERVES DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 51 in operation. Two days each week are given in laboratory study for a double period and three days are devoted to formal recitation and discussion. HISTORY Ancient and Medieval History QTwo Termsy. A brief survey of Ancient Egypt, Babylonia, and other nations, the democracy of Ath- ens, Greek art ,and literature, the Persian wars, the Age of Pericles. Alexander's conquest, Rome's system of laws, and the importance of her military and political institutions, the Germanic invasions, Chris- tianity, the feudal system, the Papacy, the Crusades, the Renaissance, and the Reformation receive special emphasis in tracing this history of civilization from the earliest times to the seventeenth century A. D. Text: Webster's Early European History. American History qTwo Termsj. The social, industrial and po- litical phases of American History are considered. A large portion of the time is given to the administrations and special emphasis given to territorial growth and presidential elections. Much time is given to the application of the lessons of history to present conditions, and that requires considerable study of current events. A syllabus is required to be kept by the students to fix in their minds the more important geographical and political features that have influenced the course of history. Text: The American People by Muzzey. Constitution fOne Terml. The origin, development, and prac- tical application of the national constitution are stressed. The text of the constitution is thoroughly studied and many of the most significant clauses are memorized. Special effort is made to show the great value of our constitution to the individual as well as to the nation and to strengthen the student's devotion to it. Text: The American Government, by Magruder. Social Civics COne Terml. This course reviews local, state, and national governments and shows how government affects our social and economic life. Short, clear accounts are given of the most im- portant social and economic questions now before the people. Text: Munro and Ozanne's Social Science. Economics f0ne Termj. The student is given a clear view of the origin, structure and operation of economic society. Present day problems, such as grow out of the labor question, money and banking, waste and conservation, corporations, trusts, and taxation, receive es- pecial consideration. The aim of the course is to prepare the student for more intelligent citizenship by giving him a better understanding of life's problems, and more sympathetic interest in mankind. Text: Elementary Economics, by Ely-Wicker. NORMAL TRAINING Psychology fFirst Terml. Special attention is directed to the factors, principles, and laws of perception, imagination, thought, emo- tion, instinct, habit, attention, and will. These are made clear to the student by citing familiar experiences of every day life and by fre- quent experiments by the members of the class relative to the methods of memorizing' and applying the laws of habit and forming new habits or breaking old ones. Special stress is laid on the application of all principles of teaching. The text is The Mind and Its Education, by Betts. Methods CSecond Term, Nine Weeksy. Cha.rter's Teaching the 52 DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Common School Branches is the text followed. Betts' Classroom Method and Management, Strayer and Englehardt's, The Classroom Teachers at Work in American Schools, Freeman's Psychology of the Common Branches, and Modern Methods in Teaching, by Wat- son, Kyte, and Lull, are read as supplementary work. Management fNine Weeksl. The text used is Rural School Management, by Eells, Moeller, Swain. In this subject school or- ganization, government, ,and discipline are given careful consideration. Special stress is placed on the moral development that comes from a well organized and governed school and upon community service. Geography COne Termj. A thorough review of the subject is given. Special stress is placed on the method of teaching in the com- mon schools. The chief consideration is given to fundamentals rather than details. Map and picture reading and study of the state text are given special emphasis. Last year the Branom Practice Tests in Geography were used as supplementary and review material. English Grammar f0ne Terml. A thorough review of the prin- ciples of grammar as set forth in Book Two, Miller-Kinkead, and in the state text, Our English, Book Three, is given. Especial attention is paid to analysis of sentences with the view to understanding the correct construction. Drills in the forms of personal pronouns, rela- tive pronouns, principal parts of verbs, and synopsis of both transi- tive and intransitive verbs are given to teach correct usage. The prin- ciples to be stressed in grammar and the method of presenting them to pupils receive emphasis. Arithmetic, Normal f0ne Terml. The state text, The Stone Arithmetic, Advanced , is used. The work for the seventh and eighth grades is taken up thoroughly and in order. Special attention is given to the method and form of solving problems. The intermediate arith- metic of this series is reviewed for method of presenting the work to the fifth and sixth grade pupils. Reading f0ne Termj. Text: Silent and Oral Reading, by Stone. Methods of teaching reading in the rural schools, especially in the primary grades, receive careful attention. The course has a double aim: to prepare teachers of the subject, and to give them a realization of the fact that it is fundamental in all reading for study, information and appreciation. Approved standard tests have been given to the class frequently during the past year. The purpose was to familiarize the normal- training student with the content of various tests, their administra- tion, scoring, and the diagnostic and remedial use to be made of such tests in their own teaching. No other normal-training subject calls for such a wide field of reference reading and study as does this subject with the modern em- phasis placed upon the various phases of oral and silent reading. COMMERCE Bookkeeping fTwo Termsj. The text used is Elwell and Toner. Parts one and two constitute the work of the first term.
