ACADEMICS Four avenues of study are open at Kdison High School. The academic courses arc geared for college preparation. Students interested in business pursue the commercial arts track. Future homemakers major in home econom- ics, and future craftsmen and tradesmen follow the in- dustrial arts schedule. College bound students struggled through term papers, science experiments and slide rule problems. While timed writings, dictation, and keeping books occupied commercial arts students, economics students were p re- paring meals, cutting out patterns, and studying family problems. Making projects, operating machinery, and drawing plans were jobs for students on the industrial arts program.
