englfsli Mr. R. B« hlle Mrs. P. Glassing Mrs. M. Haugen Edina English courses are founded on a basis of grammar patterns and rules, supplemented by reading programs and films. Particularly emphasized in junior high are sentence structures and parts of speech. Seventh graders take a unit on personality development and social relations. Every eighth grader remembers reading Evangeline and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Freshmen are urged to begin thinking about their life work in a study on vocations. English on the senior high level is divided into standard and accelerated classes. For a foundation the same material is used, but the enriched course is more intensive and is objective in preparing students for college. More stress is placed on. subjective thought in senior high work. Long themes give the opportunity to put learning into practical application, and the number of books which are considered required reading is increased. A remedial reading program was introduced last year. Because of its success it was repeated in the spring of this year. A complete familiarity with the correct use and application of the English language is essential to everyone. In any field more doors are open to success to the individual with the ability to use his language well. Mr$. B. Nordell Mis» K. Gormley Mi » J. Teichroew PAGE 18

Not only must they keep the building in good order, but they must make all necessary repairs and periodically inspect the entire school and surrounding grounds. Each custodian is responsible for an assigned floor. This involves daily cleaning of all the rooms in the area, and polishing the hallways. The matron's duty includes checking the locker rooms. The custodians make the physical plant of our school one that we can be proud of, and their kindness, good attitude, and willingness make this a more pleasant place in which to learn. PAGE 17

social science r Miss M. Bartholot Miss I. Hampton Mr. B. lundquist The social sciences, required in the Edina schedule, give the foundation for more complete knowledge of the functions of other national governments as well as our own. World geography forms the basis for seventh grade Social Studies classes. The eighth grade course covers American history and its government. Setting a precedent this year at Edina is a ninth grade history class, including political science, vocational guidance, and driver training. World History, dealing primarily with nations dating back to ancient civilizations, aids sophomores in gaining a broader view of the United States in relation to other countries. Juniors learn of the growth of American government, industry, and culture. Social Problems places its objectives in making seniors aware of America's policies, both foreign and domestic. A study is made of the operation and organization of American government. A more advanced study of World Geography is available for seniors. Discussed in connection with this are their current events and individual philosophies. From this department a necessary background is gained for the understanding of world relationships, national and international. Mr. H. Merriman Mr. E. Stolte ■ Mr. A. Ebbing Mr. N.
