MARTHA KUHN MISS DOROTHY MERRITT MISS GRACE MOHNEY B.S., Michigan State College A.B., Ferris Institute B.S., Western Michigan College Home Economics M.B.A., University of Denver M-A-, University of Michigan MRS. KAY KRUMM Business Education Business Education Vocational Subiects Provide Work Experiences Mrs. Kuhn and Mrs. Krumm feel that the pur- pose of home economics is to promote interest in becoming better citizens by building a good foundation for happy and satisfactory family life. Homemaking classes are valuable because they help young girls gain self-confidence and a feel- ing of achievement when they transform tedious household tasks into pleasant, worthwhile duties. ln training potential secretaries, Miss Merritt and Miss Mohney teach the necessary technical skills and, in addition, stress punctuality, initiative, willingness to work, and the ability to follow direc- tions. They instill the desire to do good work, and they emphasize that a secretary must possess the driving determination to be successful in order to fulfill her duties conscientiously. Manual training classes, under the instruction of Mr. Hodges and Mr. Kanouse, prepare boys for apprenticeship positions in industry as well as developing their knowledge of how to do many practical iobs. Their aims are to teach their stu- dents mechanical skills with emphasis on safety and to help them learn how to work together in this age of many technical improvements. Mr. McKim inspires his students with the desire to become more proficient in the specialized fields of agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry. He helps them to establish successful living on small acreages. He also stresses cooperation and good citizenship, and encourages rural leadership to enable his students to understand the people with whom they will be doing business. MR. MORRIS HODGES MR.

Wo MR- EARL D- RICH MR. DAVID J. YOUNG MR. DONALD MEYER A.B., Franklin. College' b AB., Alma College B.S., Central Michigan College Mah., University of Michigan. Junior High Science and Junior High Science and Science and Mathematics Biology Mathematics Scientific Attitudes Are Stressed Mr. Young's primary purpose in biology is to make students aware of their environment and to understand themselves in order that they will live in harmony and good fellowship with other people. Mathematics, taught by Mr. Potts, helps students to develop the power to reason, to analyze, and to think clearly and logically. Mr. Rich coordinates science and general math with everyday living. Physics is the basic science in which physical changes in matter and energy con- cerning light, sound, heat, electricity, and me- chanics are studied. Chemistry students learn the laws governing the action and reaction of chemical substances. All of the science and mathematics courses serve as a basis for further study in indi- vidual fields of specialization. Miss Scype, Mr. Hope, and Mr. Meyer, in iunior high science, aim to arouse the desire in their students to investigate unknown facts so that they may broaden their background of known material. With scientific improvements being developed in the world, it is necessary for students to become more interested in this progress. ln arithmetic a clear concept of elementary mathematics and an efficiency in handling figures is essential. Besides instilling curiosity and the willingness to learn, these teachers praise cooperation and courtesy in their young students. This is stressed in all classes, but particularly in iunior high where students are being prepared to enter high school where good citizenship is as important as high academic scholarship. MR.

DEAN WINTER B.M., Michigan State College Band and Driver Training Arg Curriculum Offers Varied Program Vocal music, under Miss Haupt's direction, gives students the satisfaction of singing with others and an opportunity to develop and train their voices. Mr. Winter, the band director, believes that band in high school should be open to every student who desires to play an instrument regardless of his native ability. The primary purpose of band is to expose students to music of all types and to help them appreciate fine compositions. Another aim is to encourage outstanding musicians to pur- sue music vocations if they possess sufticient talent and courage to fulfill their ambitions. In art, Miss Yanke makes her students aware of the beauty and design which surrounds them and enriches their lives. Her aim is to help apply this awareness by individual creative expression. Miss Thompson, the librarian, tries to help stu- dents find the right book when they need it. More- over, she widens their scope of reading material by choosing the most suitable and interesting books for their various personalities. The physical education program, under the sup- ervision of Miss Morrow and Mr. Burnison, deals with mental, physical, and emotional health plus physical activities for all students. Their principal purpose is to establish a definite relationship be- tween the mind and the body, and to work toward more perfect control of both. Physical education is more than an exercise or a muscle builder. It offers group experiences, the ioy of eftort and achievement, the 'fun of participating in a game which takes thought away from the individual. MISS STELLA THOMPSON MISS MARY MORROW MR.
