MATHEMATICS ’Rithmetic has long been the main one of the three “R’s.” For it’s necessary for a person to he able ot figure his finances accurately in order to exist. Mrs. Burger and Mr. Hinkle teach the subjects from which students can select their two years of study in mathematics such as algebra, geometry, and applied mathematics. SCIENCE One year of science is re- quired to graduate. Most stu- dents elect biology to fill this requirement. However in this day and age students are be- ginning to demand more knowledge in the science cur- riculum. For these students ad- vanced courses such as senior science and physics are offered by Mrs. Brown and Mr. Hinkle. The Edisonian of 1950 29

ENGLISH No, no, no, you never say “had went” or “not nothing”; such as these irritate the ears and nerves of the English teachers. However, three years of English are required, and Mrs. Crisman and Mrs. Etienne supervise the time of the students spent in this de- partment. LATIN Under the direction of Mrs. Crisman the Latin classes help Caesar subdue Gaul and (for the first time in Edison’s his- tory) Cicero to oust Cataline from the senate. Since Latin is very beneficial to one’s vocabulary, students planning on going to college take two years of it. SOCIAL STUDIES To know one’s country is an absolute necessity in this world. In order to know his country, a person must study his country’s past in order to judge the future. Mr. Thom and Mr. Baliff teach the sub- jects in the social studies field which consists of United States history, civics, economics, eco- nomic geography, and world history. 28 The Edisonian of 1950

COMMERCE “K-p-n, coupon; f-d-s-a-f, etc.” can be heard throughout the class period in the commer- cial room. Mostly students take courses in the commercial department who are preparing for office jobs. Miss Hartley teaches all the subjects in the commercial field which are shorthand, typing, office prac- tice, and bookkeeping. HOME ECONOMICS Girls must know how to cook and sew and even ad- minister first aid in order to be a good home-maker. Mrs. Metz endeavors to impress the girls with the basic funda- mentals of home-making. SHOP Since most boys readily adapt themselves to work which calls for the use of a pair of creative hands, Edison has provided a liberal and ad- vanced course in industrial arts. Mr. Sexton teaches the boys the essentials of all types of shop work. 30 The Edisonian of 1950
