In your choice of a school consider well the opportunities offered by the Dickinson Com- munity High School. You have grown up in the country and have at- tended country school nearly all your life. The surroundings that will be most natural and pleasant to you are those that are similar to your country school life The Dickinson Community High School offers such surroundings. More than three-fourths of her boys and girls are from the country. Another important matter in considering a school is the character of the work offered. The Dickinson Community High School offers many practical as well as regular courses. Among the practical things undertaken are Aviation, 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 course in English, Latin, French, History, Mathematics, Science, etc. If you desire to prepare for a commercial position you wil 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 High School are unexcelled. There are opportunities for private lessons in Piano, Voice, Violin, Horn and other band or orchestra instruments, besides free instruction in Glee Clubs, Choruses, Band, and Orchestra, and many opportunities for public appearances. 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 com- munity. The Agricultural course of the Dickinson Community High School will prove unusually helpful and beneficial. The course in Home Economics is unusually strong, not only thoroughly preparing for home- keeping but teaching economy in spending for the home, If you-are planning to go to college, the College Preparatory course of the Dickinson Community High School on its completion 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 machinery, 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 Community High School are first-class in every respect. The library is one of the larg- est school libiaries in the state and the Science, Auto Mechanics, Woodwork, and Vocational Agriculture departments are well equipped. The trend toward this type of work is shown by the increased enrollment in these departments. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 15 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, with- out 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 a 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 31,000 during the year 1942-43 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, Graduates of any of the courses will be admitted to the state educational institutions and colleges of the state without examination, but if one expects 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 the 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 Woodwork, Voca- tional Agriculture and Auto Mechanics have been changed from time to time to meet the needs of the community. The new Industrial Arts Building is well equipped with modern tools and machinery to take care of the Auto Mechanics, Vocational Agriculture, and Woodwork. 16 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 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 possibilities as any for the ambitious, especially for those who have an agricultural 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. The course in Agriculture is being maintained with very little cost to the community: 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 man- agement problems. Individual projects and home practice is a feature of the course, thereby giving the student an opportunity to compete for scholarships offered to the students of agriculture by various organizations. 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 Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science and is one of the few plots throughout the statue 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, fertilizer tests, crop rotation demonstration, variety tests in wheat, corn, sorghums, soy beans, clover, oats. or any other crops ad- visable to grow. This demonstration farm furnished crop and soil prob- lems and valuable observation studies. tree trimming and pruning, terracing, culling poultry and other farm Tree trimming and pruning, terracing, culling poultry and other farm practices, are arranged to correlate with class work, thus giving the student the opportunity to put into practice the teachings of the classroom in many activities in which the student will be engaged in life. The Dickinson Community High School with its many advantages offers the student coming from the farm the proper atmosphere for Agri- cultural work, which of necessity will be one of the fields which furnish unlimited opportunities for the ambitious young person with inclinations toward agricultural lines. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL JUDGING TEAMS 'HRW HOME-EC CABINET 18 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Home Economics The Home Economics Department offers three years' work. This department offers practical work in home planning and living. We attempt to apply our principles to meet the economic situation of the day. 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 individually or in small groups thus developing more independence and managerial ability. Some time will be given to study and experimental 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 thorough 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 housekeeping. Commerce Commercial education is undergoing a great change, and the com- mercial department of the Dickinson Community High School is keeping in step. Commercial education is no longer the narrow, vocational work having as its purpose the preparation of stenographers and bookkeepers. The work given in our vocational courses-typing, shorthand, and book- keeping--is of the highest type for this specialized field. There is still a greater field-that of building up a sound, fundamental background for later business life. General Business is now being given during the freshman year. This subject is designed to give the student, early in his schooling, an insight of the business world. Commercial Arithmetic is being taught as it applies to the real problems of life. Business Principles, an advanced class in consumer education, is offered as a finishing course for the senior com- mercial student. The typewriting field is being divided into two types of work. The first year is being devoted to what is commonly called personal typewriting. During this year's work, one may master the keyboard and become familiar with the more common uses of the typewriter as they apply to everyday business and social life. The advanced commercial student will be given an extensive course in Typewriting II. Students with a desire to enter the business life in future years should give the commercial department serious consideration. All students would do well to consider several of the classes in choosing their electives.

In the extent and character of the musical work offered, few secondary schools in Kansas equal the Dickinson Community High School. During the past year notable progress has been made by both the vocal and instru- mental organizations. At the District Music Festival sponsored by the State High School Activities Association, the Dickinson Community High School entered 24 events. The ratings of the ensembles, and soloists were as follows: A rating of I or Highly Superior to the Trumpet Quartet, Woodwind Trio, Jack Fields, Sousaphoneg Everett Taylor, Trombone.

Educational Guidance ,'He that hath a trade hath an estate, and he that hath a calling hath an office of profit and honor. -Franklin. Some emphasis will be placed on student personnel work again this year. The purpose of this individual guidance will be to learn the student's plans in regard to the future, and, in turn, to see if his selected course of study willadequately meet his demands. This will prevent loss of credit through incorrect selection of subjects through non-adaption to the subject. Students will be encouraged to consult the faculty at any time in regard to problems arising relative to their chosen course of study. During the last four years a Vocational Guidance Club has proved to be of considerable help to those students who have not definitely decided upon an occupation. The club is open only to Sophomore, Junior, Senior, and Graduate boys. ' The Club meets one period each week and the time is spent in the discussion of occupations either by the members or by outside speakers.

I I ENSEMBLES DEBATE TEAMS THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 29 HONOR STUDENTS Several years ago the faculty of the Dickinson Community High School decided to award special recognition to those who had done extra 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 grades of the school. It was felt that athletic students, debaters, class play students and music students receive many form of recognition, while the students doing exceptionally good work in their studies receive no form of recognition that distinguishes them from the average student of the school. The senior roll for this year follows: High Honor: Ardis Witter, Elizabeth Flippo, Louise Mc- Laughlin, Elizabeth Hassler, Roberta Dayhoff, Reva Jane Thur- low, Darlene Weber, Betty Ann Engle, Margaret Forslund. Wayne Karl. Honor: Victor Bolton, Lucille Bourbina, John Cushing, Irene Delker, Francis Duddy, Jean Dunlop, Robert Fisher, Edith Fouse, Ted Gfeller, Mary Grey, Mary Klamm, Alice Krehbiel, Loren Mourer, Leon Ramsey, Virginia Seaton, Raymond Simp- son, Fayetta Sloop, Muriel Speer, Rosemary Steelsmith. Ivan Steffen, Jeanne Stoner, Everett Taylor, Ted Taylor. Wilma Taylor, Mary Weaver, Anne Wilson, Keith Wingerd, Ella Marie Winteroth, Carmen Wolf. 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. 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, declaim- ing, religious and social activities are fostered. Public Speaking and Dramatics To hold the interest of an audience and to successfully entertain it- whether from public platform, in fraternal organization, by after-dinner speech, or in the home circle-is a worthy accomplishment. Speech is the bridge which connects the individual with others. It is also a key which 30 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL unlocks a rich storehouse of social benefits. A growing recognition of the fact that training in speech is also training both in thinking and in the fine art of social adjustment has made good speech one of the major objectives of modern education. Speech training furnishes a means of socializing and co-ordinating the work being done in all other school sub- jects. It is the desire of this department to be of value to the amateur reader. speaker and entertainer. Many public appearances are provided for the students of this department so that they may acquire this accomplishment. A full year course is given in beginning expression. This class gives opportunity for short talks. original essays, plays, declamations, and par- liamentary procedure. The rural schools, community gatherings, the clubs and various organizations have made demands upon these students for entertainments. A class for advanced students in debate. oratory and declamation is given to train them for the District and State 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 supply of material for future debate teams. orators, and readers. Besides these courses there are other opportunities for appearance in public. The weekly assembly programs, the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y or- ganizations furnish occasions for practiec in musical performances. plays. speech, and declamation. Each year a class play is given by the Junior and the Senior class. SENIOR PLAY CAST THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 31 The Junior Play is given in the fall just previous to the Thanksgiving recess. Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come was the name of the Junior Play in 1941. The cast included Theodora Geisert, Max Hollinger, Betty Gallagher, Doris Lehman, Frans Mykland, Dorothy Lehman, Robert Morris, Ebiba Blomgren, Marie Bertsch, Lois Kauffman, Paul Schwendener, Janet Frazier, Dorothy Schroeder. The Senior Play is given on the Friday evening preceding Commencement week: What A Life, a Henry Aldrich feature, was the Senior Play given by the Class of 1942. It played to an overflow house, and was well received.

The entire squad attended tournaments at Clay Center and Salina, and six students were taken to the touraments at Topeka and Wellington. The debaters who represented the school won fourth place in the C. K. L. tournament held at Clay Center, and third place in the district debate tournament held at Abilene. Five students won debate letters and only three of the twelve studnts on the squad graduated: thus, the prospects are good for the coming year. Those winning letters were Victor Bolton, Ted Gfeller, and Wilma Taylor, seniors: Bob Morris, junior: and Stanley Kelley, sophomore. The debate class was somewhat limited in their activities during the last semester, yet an oratorical contest and a declamation contest was held within the school. The winner of the oratorical contest was Bob Morris who won first in the district in the American Legion, Better Citizenship contest and won a medal for his presentation in the State Senate Chamber at Topeka. Awards were given to the highest ranking expression students for work in readings and declamation. 32 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Athletics The Dickinson Community High School sponsors an athletic program providing for inter-school competition in football, basketball, track, tennis, and golf. Competing in one of the fastest leagues, the Central Kansas League, we have competition which is very keen. The other members of the League are Abilene. Clay Center, Junction City, Manhattan, McPherson, and Salina. The football team played a schedule of nine games, playing two non- league games which they won. In the league games played they finished in the lower division of league standing. Ten men will be lost by graduation of this year's team. Prospects are somewhat brighter as we have ten lettermen and thirty squad members of this year's squad returning to form the nucleus of next year's team. Next season's football schedule is as follows: September 18, 1941 - - -1' - - - Minneapolis, here September 25. 1942 Herington, there October 2, 1942 - - - Manhattan here October 9, 1942 Clay Center, there October 16, 1942 V, - - - McPherson here October 271, 1942 V' - - Salina, here October 305 1942 I Council Grove, here November 5, 1942 - Abilene, there November 12. 1942 - - - Open November 19, 1942 - - - Open November 26. 1942 Junction City, there I THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOI 'I'IV'EI.LEDISVEI THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SQUAD THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 35 Although the football team did not make a great scoring record, every game was a good one to witness. The team was made up of mostly under- classmen: as a result many costly mistakes were made. The team was credited with having plenty of fight and scrap. Several of the boys on the team received some honorable mention. These boys were Captain Dean Hoover, Eddie Schneider, Leon Ramsey. Raymond Picking, Wayne Dayhoff, Jack Shepard, 'Wayne Baer, XValter Steele, Dean Roles, and Captain-elect Bob Shepard. The basketball team played a schedule of seventeen games. They finished fifth in the league standing with eight wins and six losses. The non-league season was equally successful. The high light of the season's play came in winning the class A regional tournament at Junction City. The win entitled the team to enter the class A state champion tournament held at Hays. Kansas. They drew Norton and were defeated in the first round of play by a small score. Next season's basketball schedule is as follows: December 15, 1942 ------- Sacred Heart. here December 18, 1942 - MCPh9fSOHf here January 5, 1943 - Salina, there January 8, 1943 Clay Center, here January 15, 1943 Manhattan, there January 19, 1943 Junction City, here January 22, 1943 - Abilene, there January 28, 1943 Sacred Heart, there February 2. 1943 - - - Open February 9, 1943 - Salina here February 12, 1943 Clay Center, there February 19, 1943 Manhattan here February 23, 1943 - - Junction City, there February 26, 1943 - - Abilene, there March 2, 1943 - - McPherson, there March 5, 1943 - - - Open Two seniors will be lost by graduation of this year's squad. Twelve members of the second squad and six lettermen return to make up next year's quintette. The lettermen of this year elected Jack Shepard as their honorary captain. The track program was curtailed to conserve on rubber, but, never- theless, the track team made a good record for itself. The team competed in four dual meets, a triangular at Abilene, a quadrangular at Manhattan, a quadrangular at Junction City, the Central Kansas League meet at Man- hattan, and the state regional at Manhattan. The team won two of the four dual meets, winning from Clay Center and Herington and losing to Junction City and Abilene, The team placed sixth in the Central Kansas League meet at Manhattan, and fourth in the state regional meet at Manhattan. 36 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL One new record was made this year. Charles Shrader, sophomore, broke Kent Tob as' discus record which was 129 feet, eleven inches. The new record is 130 feet, seven inches. The lettermen of this year's team selected Leon Ramsey as their honorary captain. G Lecture Course Due to the curtailment of transportation and the inability to get many good entertainments, the lecture course program will be cut to three evening and three day programs. A small charge will be made for the evening entertainments. The day programs will be free and the public is welcome. The following talent for the year 1942-43 has been secured: two musical numbers, Music of America, and Music of Mexico: one lecture, What's Right with America, Joel B. Guin: one magician, Mental Science, J. P. O'Donavan: one circus, Trained Animals, one marionette show, Tom Sawyer. Musical Organizations There are five major musical organizations in the Dickinson Com- munity High School besides the regular four-year courses of instruction in piano, voice and on all band and orchestra instruments. The musical organizations include two glee clubs, a mixed chorus, a band, and an orchestra. Arrangements have been made to continue the band practice for the summer. Concerts will be given regularly every Thursday evening with rehearsals on Monday evenings. Mr. Curt Engwicht and Mr. Richard Childers will give individual instruction on all band and orchestra instruments this summer. There will be a course of twelve lessons. The fee for high school and grade pupils will be 25 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 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. The Girl Reserve Club has had a successful year with a large mem- bership. Outstanding events sponsored by the Girl Reserve for the year 1941-42 were the Dad-Daughter party and the Mother-Daughter Tea. Several delegates attended the fall conference in Minneapolis. An attempt has been made in the programs to develop the spiritual, physical, and mental well-being of the girls. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 37 Hi-Y When the high school convened for work in the fall of 1889, Prin- cipal S. M. Cook delegated the religious interests of the young men en- rolled in school to the supervisoin of Mr. D. F. Shirk, the science instructor. Early in October that year, a group of boys, under Mr. Shirk's direction banded themselves together with the purpose to lead exemplary lives them- selves and to win others in school to join them. Thus was organized the oldest chapter of the world-wide Hi-Y movement. In the fall of 1890 this group had progressed and increased in strength to the point that they sought to be affiliated with the State Young Men's Christian Association with headquarters at Topeka, Kansas. On Thursday evening, previous to Oc- tober 4th that year, the formal organization took place, a constitution was prepared and twenty-seven young men took out membership. The organi- zation has continued active in the school life at Chapman ever since and on the dates October 20th and 22nd inclusive, the Founders Conference was held in Chapman commemorating fifty years of Hi-Y. It is noteworthy that the Chapman Hi-Y club is the oldest club in existence and from its reports in the early nineties at the Kansas State Y. M, C. A. meetings, other high schools were influenced to organize similar clubs. Effingham, Kansas is credited with being the next oldest club with a continuous history. Not many years elapsed before the volume of high school delegates at the state gatherings was great enough to warrant holding a separate convention for high school units of the Y M. C. A. It was in 1911 at Pittsfield, Mass., that the present name Hi-Y was first applied to the high school units of the Y. M. C. A. This year the Hi-Y had a membership of over ninety. The meetings were held activity hour, 12:30 to 1:06 every Wednesday. The programs were built about the Hi-Y purpose: To create, maintain and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. Dean Hoover was president and the sponsors from the faculty were Ira M. Hassler and Karl D. Edwards. Alumni The Dickinson Community High School is supported by an unusually strong and enthusiastic Alumni Association. Every alumnus, of whom there is now over nineteen hundred, stands for the best interests of the school and uses his influence for advancing its success. Annually on Com- mencement Day the alumni members play the high school team in a friendly baseball contest. This is one of the special features of Com- mencement week. After the Commencement exrcises the alumni banquet is served amid toasts and speeches which arouse old time enthusiasm and recall the pleasures and experiences, now almost forgotten, 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 of college banquets. Each year the twenty-fifth anniversary class holds a reunion. A roster of the Class of 1917 is published in this bulletin. 38 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHQOISLF 'Q G. R. CABINET H1-Y CABINET COURSE OF STUDY-GENERAL The course of study as outlined on the following pages is intended as a guide and standard for four years of high school 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, 'I'Hl: DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 39 Only Students Ranking in Ability in the Upper 252, of the Student Body May be Allowed to Take as Many as 5 Units for Credit. Sixteen units are required for graduation and must meet the following requirements made by the State Board of Education: 1. Two majors of three units each: The first major in English, 3 units ------ 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 Cunless social science has been selected as the second majorj, 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 of mathematics or a laboratory science. CMathe- matics refers to Algebra and Geometry. Laboratory science refers to Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Botanyj ----- I The remaining units may be selected from one or more of the eight groups. Six units are prescribed for graduation from an accredited high school: three units in English. two units of social science, including one-half unit of Constitution of the United States and one unit of mathematics or a lab- oratory science. Students of a foreign language should be urged to complete at least two units of the elected language before discontinuing the study or chang- ing 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 groups: and in Class C and Class D schools, students are required to take courses in at least four of these eight groups. More or less intensive work is insured in the requirement of two majors of three units each. The student is given larger 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. 40 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL SUBJECTS ARRANGED BY GROUPS l.

GIRLS' ENSEMBLE 50 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 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 semester a passing grade of seventy-five per cent: the school year being divided into two semesters 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 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 necessary for satisfactory work. LATIN Beginning Latin, fTwo Semestersj. New Elementary Latin by Ullman-Henry. Second Year Latin, CTwo Semestersj. Three year Latin Series by Ullman-Henry is the new text. FRENCH French, CTwo Semestersb. This is a new course. A discussion of the course and the name of the text will be given during the week of enrollment. ENGLISH English, CEight Semestersj. Six semesters of English are required. The fourth year-two semesters-is optional. The course of study is planned to meet the needs of the students who will enter college and of those 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 spelling. sentence structure, punctuation, idiom, division into paragraphs, in litera- ture, ability to read with accuracy, intelligence and appreciation. First Year, First Semester. The work of this semester 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, relation of its parts, and recognition of the difference between parts of a sentence and a complete sentence. Assignment for both written and oral themes are built around occupational topics. The basic text for this semester is Essentials in English-Laboratory Method Book I New Edition by Smith and McNulty. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 52 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL First Year, Second Semester. The study of literature and required reading of approval books is given prominence this semester, but a review and application of principles studied the first semester will be continued. The class will study intensively The Lady of the Lake, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, 'Clulius Caesar. 'iTreasure Island, and a few short stories, lyric and narrative poems, and essays. For both the first and second semesters of this year, each student is required to read at least two books selected from an approved list. Second Year, First Semester. The work of this semester continues to stress and apply the mechanics of writing, the various forms of the sen- tence, and rules and application of capitalization and punctuation. Verb usage is partially studied-all as outlined in Essentials in English, CLab- oratory Method, Book I, New Editionj by Smith and McNulty. Second Year, Second Semester. Seven short prose stories by American and English writers are studied. The longer selections in verse, novel, and drama are The Prisoner of Chillonf' Sohrab and Rustumf' Enoch Arden, Silas Mariner, and Merchant of Venice. Some memory work is required. Third Year, First Semester. The first semester is devoted to mechanics of writing such as: sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization, verb usage, conjugation, pronouns, as set forth in Essentials in English, book II CLaboratory Methodj by McNulty 25 Adams. Third Year, Second Semester. The class was given a background of English History in connection with the important literary writers of each per- iod. The masterpieces of literature by outstanding authors of each of the eight periods of literature, into which this text is divided, were studied. Macbeth, The Deserted Village, The Cotter's Saturday Night, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyardf' were some of these. A great deal of memory work was required. Each student was required to read six books during the year. These books were selected from the school library and were approved by the teacher of the students. Fourth Year English Uournalisml. A course in the study of the newspaper was given. All phases of the newspaper were discussed. A careful study was given to the technique of writing the news story, the editorial, paragraphs, feature, and human interest stories, and to headline writing. The members of the class put out the Dickinsonian, the school paper, 16 times a year, eight issued each semester. They also wrote school news for the Chapman Advertiser, and sometimes for the Abilene Reflector- Chronicle. The students read the Topeka Daily Capital, the Salina Journal, Topeka State Journal, and the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle, which come to the reading room of the journalism department every day, and also the college papers, and the high school exchanges. They learned the names of twenty outstanding newspaper editors and publishers of Kansas and ten names of syndicated editorial writers and columnists, or paragraphers in any state. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 53 MATHEMATICS Algebra, CTwo Semestersl. The elements of this course are correlated with arithmetic, geometry, the related subjects, and the problems of every day life. The four fundamental mathematical process 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 recog- nized as a part of a liberal education. Text: Modern School Mathematics, Book III, by Schorling, Clark, and Smith. Algebra, Advanced, COne Semesterj. This course is open to students who have completed the course in elementary algebra. The work includes a review of the principles of algebra, all extensioi of the too,c studied in the elementary course, and practical applications of mathematics. New topics considered are fractional, negative and zero exponents: radicals1 simultaneous quadratics: logarithms: imaginaries. Text: Second Course in Algebra, Edgerton and Carpenter. Plane Geometry, CTwo Semestersj. The course in plane geometry is correlated with solid geometry, trigonometry, arithmetic, and algebra. In itself it is a study of the properties and relations of points, lines, angles, and all figures of two dimensions. Logical argument is taught and prac- ticed through proving theorems and originals. Accuracy and conciseness of statement of thought is stressed. Important aims are to give a better under- standing 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 construc- tions seen in every day life. Text: Plane Geometry, Strader and Rhoads. JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT 54 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Solid Geometry, COne Semesterj. This course alternated with trig- onometry. Solid geometry will be taught the second semester of 1943-44. Solid geometry is a continuation of space relationship to figures of three dimensions, the study of surface areas and volumes, and properties and measures of solid angles. Open to students who have completed the course ,bane geometry. 'I ext: Solid Geometry, Strader and Rhodes. Trigonometry, fOne Semesterj. This course alternates with solid geometry. Trigonometry will be taught the second semester of 1942-1943. Trigonometry is that branch of mathematics that treats of the area of triangles and of the relations of the parts of triangle to each other. The subject is among the earliest known branches of mathematics, and its prin- ciples have been incalculable service in astronomy, physics, geology, and in all branches of engineering. Open to students who have completed the courses in plane geometry and :.dvan-ed algebra. Text: New Plane Trigonometry, by Wells. 11 'or in mathematics consists of elementary algebra and plane 'c- rry. A major includes solid geometry and advanced algebra in addi- tion to the course required for a minor. D. C. H. S. ORCHESTRA THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 55 SCIENCE Physical Geography, fOne Semesterj. Text: New Physical Geo- graphy, by Tarr and Von Englen. This is a half year course in science offered during the second semester. It deals with the earth, we live upon. as a body, its surface features, and changes wrought by the agents of erosion. Considerable emphasis is given to climatic influences that affect man's existence. Elementary Science, fTWo Semestersj. Text: Science in Our Lives, by Greunberg-Unzicker. An educational aim is to prepare the student for useful and profitable citizenship. Our civilization is built upon the foundation afforded by the sciences. ln elementary science the pupils are instructed in the scientific method of thinking and made acquainted with some of the fundamental principles of the several sciences. It serves as in introductory course to the field of science. Biology. Sophomores and Juniors. Text: Exploring Biology by Ella Thea Smith. Biology is the science of living. We all are touched by its principles daily. As our population becomes denser and our means of travel and communication are increased, our very existence becomes more and more dependent upon the applications of biological principles. We are aware that the world is changing rapidly these days. Any peoples any- where on this globe must be governed and organized upon sound principles of biology-including health, sanitation, emotional expression and control. recreational activities and proper environmental conditions, and food prod- uction consistent with a decent plane of living. Our future place in the world family depends to a large degree upon our knowledge of and ap- plication of the principles of biology. Physics. Juniors and Seniors. Text: Modern Physics by Charles E. Dull. No other subject offered in the school curriculum has any closer ap- plication to our daily living routine than physics. There was never a time in the world's history, when a greater need for trained physicists existed than at present. Every large industrial enterprise is backed by a physics laboratory somewhere. The course contributes greatly to the under- standing of our environment. It is a good foundation for any field of en- deavor one may wish to undertake. Normal Training Agriculture, fTwo Semestersj. This course will consist of a careful consideration of garden, field, and orchard, besides 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 agriculture in the rural schools. Such subjects as soil fertility, soil conservation, moisture conservation, selection of seed, preparation of the ground, and the best methods of cultivation will be considered. Animal life and its relations to man, soil, and crops will receive due consideration as Well as factors relating to the marketing of farm products. 56 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Landscaping is also taken up as a factor dealing with school and home. This course offers a rather general consideration of agricultural topics and is organized only for those making preparations to teach. The text used is: Modern Agriculture, 1940 revision by Grimes and Holton. Physiology, COne Semesterj. Text Health and Achievement, by Cockefair. Health, undoubtedly, should be the primary consideration in each ones' living. This course is offered the first half of the year. In addition to text, laboratory studies are made of organ structure to give a foundation for the principles of function and proper care. Disease control, in connection to the health of the individual and the public at large, is emphasized throughout the course. Chemistry, CTwo Semestersj. For juniors and seniors. Text: New World of Chemistry, by Jaffe. The science of chemistry furnishes a foundation for modern industry. The chemists make our drugs, dyes, medicines, steel, glass, cement, pottery. and hundreds of other useful products. In a study of chemical substance and changes which these substances undergo, the student may gain a knowl- edge of things about him which may enable him to live with greater appreciation of the physical and chemical phases of everyday life. The course consists of a study, both in the classroom and in the laboratory, of the properties of matter, with the changes involved in the transformation in matter and with the laws and theories concerning these changes. HISTORY World History, QTwo Semestersj. This course presents a short survey of Western civilization from its earliest beginnings to the Middle Ages. The activities of pre-historic man are briefly reviewed. The contributions to the progress of mankind by the Egyptians, Babylonians, Hebrews, and the Assyrians are studied. A more thorough study is made of the Greek and Roman Civilizations. Special emphasis is placed on the study of the early history of Christianity. Text: 'Earlier Ages by Robinson Breasted and Smith. American History, fTwo Semestersj. The social, industrial and po- litical phases of American History are considered. A large portion of the time is given to the presidential administrations. Special emphasis is placed on the presidential elections and the territorial growth of the United States. Much time is given to the application of the lesson 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 inliuenced the course of history. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 57 In the latter part of the year a series of special reports are given by the students. One of these is a rigidly prepared term paper on some subject chosen by the student. These projects aid the student to obtain a knowledge of library methods and acquaint him with the technique of individual research methods and materials. Text: United States in the Making. by Canfield-Wilder. Constitution, COne Semesterj. 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: Government in Action. by Keohane-McGoldrick. Social Civics, COne Semesterl. 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 important social and economic questions now before the people. Text: Government in Action, by Keohane-McGoldrick. Economics, COne Semesterj. The student is given a clear view of the origin, structure. and operation of economic society. Present day prob- lems, such as grow out of the labor question, money and banking, waste and conservation, corporations, trusts, and taxation, receive special con- sideration. The aim of the course is to prepare the student for more in- telligent citizenship by giving him a better understanding of life's problems, and more sympathetic interest in mankind. Text: Economics in Everyday Life, by Goodman. NORMAL TRAINING The Dickinson Community High School is the only high school in Dickinson County offering the Normal Training Course. This course pro- vides both academic and professional training for teachers. After completing this course and passing the state examination, the student receives a State Teachers' Certificate which entitles him to teach in any elementary school in the State of Kansas. This certificate is valid for two years and is renewable. There were twenty-one students enrolled in the 1942 class and most of them received state certificates to teach in the elementary and grade schools. A high percentage of the teachers in elementary schools are graduates of the Normal Training Course. Even though the student may not wish to teach, the course is valuable in that it includes a background of fundamental subjects, valuable to any student, and meets all requirements for college entrance. The new certificate law did not change the law regarding the Normal Training Course. The county certificate law was repealed, and the State issues all certificates. 58 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Psychology, CFirst Semesterj. Special attention is directed to the fac- tors, principles, and laws of perception, imagination, thought, emotion, instinct, habit, attention, and will. These are made clear to the student by citing familiar experiences of every day life and by frequent experiments by the members of the class relative to the methods of memorizing and ap- plying 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: Personal and Social Adjustment, by Uhl and Powers. Methods, QSecond Semester, Nine Weeksj. Rural School Methods by Ritter and Wilmarth is the text followed. Betts' Classroom Method and Management, Strayer and Englehardt's, i'The Classroom Teacher at work in American Schools. Freeman's Psychology of the Common Branches, and Modern Methods in Teaching, by Watson, Kyte, and Lull, are read as supplementary work. Management, fSecond Semester, Nine Weeksj. The text used is Problems in Classroom Management by Brown. In this subject school organization, 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, fOne Semesterj. A thorough review of the subject is given. Special stress is placed on the method of teaching in the common schools. The chief consideration is given to fundamentals rather than details. Map and picture reading and study of the state text, Human Use Geography, Book I and II are given special emphasis. Last year the Branom Practice Tests in Geography were used as supplementary and review material. English Grammar, COne Semesterj. A thorough review of the prin- ciples of grammar set forth in the state text, Elementary English in Action, Book Three, is given. Special attention is given to analysis of sentences with the view to understanding pronouns, relative pronouns, principal parts of verbs, and synopsis of both transitive and intransitive verbs are given to teach correct usage. The principles to be stressed in grammar and the method of presenting them to pupils receive emphasis. Arithmetic, Normal, fOne Semesterj. The state text, Champion Arithmetics Book III, by Brown, Mirick, Guy, and Eldridge, 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 arithmetic of this series is reviewed for method of present- ing the work of the fifth and sixth grade pupils. Reading, COne Semesterj. Text: The Teaching of Reading for Better Living, by Pennell and Cusack. 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 in 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 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 59 i K NORMAL TRAINING CLASS with the content of various tests, their administration, 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 emphasis placed upon the various phases of oral and silent reading. COMMERCE General Business, CTwo Semestersj. This course will be offered dur- ing the freshman year. The student will have an opportunity to discover how business functions in order to supply all the wants and needs of man. The business services will be studied and the pupil should get an understand- ing of business by applying business principles to his own life and to the family, school, church and community life. Spelling and penmanship will be correlated with the subject matter being taught at the time, Words to Study and Write will be offered every week. Thus the student's knowledge of words and expressions about business life will be increasd and he will understand their meanings, know their spelling, write them in the best handwriting style and also use them correctly in every day life. The A. M. Palmer Method of Business Writing will continue to be studied. There will also be problems in Applied Business Arithmetic. The text to be used will be Our Business Life, by Lloyd L. Jones. Commrecial Arithmetic, COne Semesterj. This course is required of all commercial students and is open to other students on certain conditions. The fundamental arithmetic processes will be reviewed, then fractions, decimal numbers, percentage, profit 8 loss, taxation, interest, and so on, will be dealt with. This work is a background for bookkeeping. Text: 'iSocial Business Arithmetic, by Barnhart id Maxwell. 60 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Bookkeeping, fTwo Semestersj. The State adopted a new text which is to be used. The text is called 2Oth Century Bookkeeping and Account- ing, by Baker, Prickett, and Carlson. The first semester constitutes the study of the cashbook, salesbook. purchase book, and journal. The first set of books is begun, and the working sheet is introduced. During the second semester, a special and more intensive study is made of the working sheet, balance sheet, and profit and loss statement and the,r relation to business. Throughout the course the aim is to introduce social and personal applications without sacrificing practical vocational applications. Another aim is to keep neat and accurate books. Text books may be rented from the school. Shorthand, CTwo Semestersj. The Gregg system of shorthand. which is being used by a large majority of business and high school commercial departments all over the country, is taught. During the year the student is thoroughly drilled in the principles of the system and given dictation practice in easy business letters and literary material. The manual is completed and the last six weeks are spent in reviewing work covered during the year and in more advanced dictation. The new Gregg CAnniversary Editionj texts are used. Secretarial Training. fOne Semesterj. This subject is being substituted for third semester shorthand. During the semester much time is given to shorthand as is indicated by the following outline which clearly indicates the specific problems we will attempt to solve: 1. To develop and perfect the secretarial student's ability as a short- hand writer and typist-basic skills. 2. To broaden his knowledge and appreciation of business procedure and practices. 3. To provide sufficient practice in the secretarial assignments in solv- ing dennite secretarial problems, so as to add definitely not only to the student's equipment as an effective business worker, but to provide for his future growth. Secretarial Training offers the aggresive student an opportunity to gain knowledge that will qualify him not only as a stenographer but also as secretary. Text: Applied Secretarial Practice by SoRelle and Gregg, and Gregg Speed Studies. Typewriting, CFour Semestersj. The first qualification for a success- ful typist is accuracy. After the correct technique is developed, the student is taught the various forms of business letters. The first year of typing serves as a course in personal typewriting and is open to any junior or senior in school. Second year typing is open to commercial majors. During the third term the transcribing of shorthand notes furnishes a large part of the work. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 6l Speed is developed but accuracy is stressed at all times. Business letters, financial statements, invoices, legal documents, and business forms are com- pleted and studied. Advanced typing students are given practice by the teachers and business men of Chapman. Commercial Law, COne Semesterj. An effort is made to give a clear insight into the law governing business transactions. Contracts, legal docu- ments, corporations, insurance, bailments, real estate and conveyance, mort- gage, landlord and tenants, agency and bills and notes are some of the most important topics studied. Text: Business and Law by Dillavou and Greiner. Business Principles, fOne Semesterj. This advanced course fills a great need in our present day educational system. Every individual must be a producer, a consumer, a worker, an investor or perhaps all of these. lf this is true, he is bound to be affected by the constant changes which are taking place in the economic conditions of our country. Our education should help one in anyone or in all of the four capacities. If it does not, something is lacking. The aim of this course is to develop the student in order that in his future life he will be self-sustaining and better able to conserve his savings. The course should help to create a higher standard of ethics and to establish a philosophy of living which will result in a happier life and a better world in which to live. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Woodwork I, CTwo Semestersj. Five periods a week througout the year are required in Woodwork. The beginner is started on a unit course in Mechanical Drawing and Blueprint Reading. The second six weeks consist of Toy Construction. In the third six weeks the student is started on some useful problem embodying definite construction principles, and requiring the use of common woodwork tools. Each student is required to complete one large problem the second semester. Required for boys in Industrial and Normal courses, and elective in any other course. Woodwork II, QTwo Semestersj. This course is a continuation of Woodwork I. It includes the use of power machinery. Only large prob- lems, such as chairs, library tables, cedar chests, etc., are made. Elective in any course. Prerequisite Woodwork I. Auto Mechanics. Knowing that only those persons trained to do some- thing well is at all sure of employment, the board of education have erected a fine new Industrial Arts Building which will be in use for the third time this year. They wish that the graduates of Industrial Arts Subjects shall be trained so that they will be able to hold a job after graduation. The Auto Mechanics Course is proving more and more popular with the boys as they see the need in this country for trained and skilled me- chanics. Training is given in the more recent methods of trouble diagnosis and repair of automobiles, and some time is given to the study of related 62 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOI. O OP KSH OR DW WOO THE DICKNSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 63 science work. The related sciences are electricity, chemistry, engineering, Diesel, refining of fuels. and others as they pertain to the automotive in- dustry. After the student graduated should he not desire to continue as an auto mechanic, he has the option of future development in one of the related sciences discussed. In this highly mechanized age it should be needless to say that this work will figure greatly in helping the boys find themselves after they leave this school. This course is designated to be practical, and all phases of garage work will be done. The student will be trained to find troubles and repair them quickly and efficiently. We have a modern and well equipped shop, and the type of work is very similar to the work done in the ordinary commercial garage. We are able to handle most any repair job which might be brought into the shop. Boys are showing great enthusiasm for this kind of prac- tice training. Auto Mechanics I, QTwo Semestersj. Discussion, and shop work in the repair of different makes of automobiles as they are brought into the shop for repair. Considerable time is given to proper methods of Motor Tune Up, as well as other phases of repair. Much body and fender work is given along with the regular repair work. The boys receive training in practically all kinds of automobile repair. Ten periods per week. Elective by anyone. Text: MOTOR'S Factory Shop Manual. Auto Mechanics II, CTwo Semestersj. This course is a continuation of Auto Mechanics I. The student becomes more proficient in the ways of running a garage, and he receives experience in being a foreman for the beginning student. The work is not an exact duplicate as the work in Auto Mechanics I, as there are always changes being made in mechanical designs, and the boys will be better qualified to hold a job with this ad- ditional training. Text: MOTOR'S Factory Shop Manual. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Vocational Agriculture, fTwo Semestersy, This course takes live periods a week throughout the year, is given in the freshman year, and deals with problems of acquainting the boy with productive agriculture as relating to animals, crops, and shop work. In addition to class work, class production projects are carried. The home project, record keeping, organ- ization work, and other related problems take up approximately three-fifths of the time with shop work two-fifths. One of the principal objectives of this course is to create the proper atmosphere and relationship between the home, the boy and the school with respect to a more satisfactory farm life.

Occupational information on file in the school library provided additional up-to-date material, Students who take this course are urged to continue their study of vocations through the Vocational Guidance Club. Follow up work and individual counseling will be offered for those who have special problems. Aeronautics. Text: Elements of Aeronautics by Pope-Otis. For juniors and seniors. One year of algebra is required for entering this course. The rapid development of the aeroplane in the past decade with the enlargement of our plane factories warns us that we are just entering an era of air travel and air transportation. There are two good reasons for putting this course in high schools: First, the defense program today is calling for thousands of men into army and navy centers of training in aeronautics, this is a preliminary preparation for the defense program. Second. it is generally recognized that many of the principles of mathematics, physics and other sciences have practical applications in the course. The U. S. is now producing airships faster than we can train pilots to fly them, It is time for the American youth to go Hair minded. We must fly the planes we make. This course is fully approved by the Kansas Department of Education.
