Yes, we have had quite a thorough training these years. We don't say ain't or haven't got no g we now use good grammar such as What's cooking? or Quit beating your gums. We now appreciate literature more than ever and n our nowe ge ep u in un ers an ing fi d k ld hl f l d t d oe Palooka's Brookl n accent. Y MATHIENIATICS These courses are especially recommended to those expecting to enter technical profes- sions with mathematical foundationsf, such as ditch digging. A blind man counting the steps from the road ought to know within a few steps how soon he will fall into the ditch. But seriously, in technical work as radio we might have two tubes of type A and two of type B. We would know by the use of mathematics that the set contained a total of four tubes. For higher calculation, write Dr. Einstein, Harvard University. LANGUAGES All good, or moderately good students, should take at least two years of a foreign language. Our Latin, especially, will come in handy if we are ever confronted by the ghost of Caesar. I took Caesar because I hope some day to have a chat with General De Gaulle. Then who knows with improved travel but what we may some day have Spanish trade in Enid. SCIENCE Physics, a study of mechanics, heat, sound, light and electricity . Physics class was once quite shocking due to a certain small dynamo. I learned a lot in Physics, enough about sound to hear a cow bell at two paces, enough about light to enjoy a harvest moon. Chemistry, the science that deals with the composition of materials and with all those changes in materials that alter their composition. Don't forget you are supposed to believe that materials are made up of fidgety little atoms jumping around, and that a cup of coffee will dissolve only a specified amount of sugar. I-Iaving saved five pounds of sugar, we may consider our time in chem- istry well spent. Biology, a series of related units of living forms of plant and animal life. After a year in biology we thoroughly understand why tadpoles never grow big, why the four o'clock never strikes, why the trumpet vine doesn't THE QUIl.L MAGAZINE ff I ll ZZ have a scale, and why we can't get butter from the butter cup. Botany, a study of the structure of types of plant life from the one ccllcd bacteria to the higher plants. I imagine many cooks are using the microscope to count the number of bacteria in milk to determine when it will be sour enough for the cake. Still. they would look silly using a microscope in the Hawaiians to find cocoanuts in the top of a tree. Agriculture, a science dealing with the study of farm problems. Did it settle your problems? Ir didn't tell me how to throw a bull, how to keep the hired 1112111 busy, or how to court a beautiful dairy maid. SocIAI. STUDIES The courses in social studies have the following for their principal aims: CID to develop in the student an understanding and appreciation of his racial inheritanceg Q25 to help him become adjusted to his social environment, QQ to prepare him for true citizenshipf' They call it appreciation of his racial inheritance when I met Napoleon in a mental hospital and had to pay him live dollars on our debt for the Louisiana Purchase? But in defense of this course, at that tea I could eat only because I balanced my cake on my knees as I used to do my history book. And thanks to my history, I know there were other Presidents than Wash- ington. COMMERCE The courses in the Commerce Depart- ment are offered with the object of giving fundamentals necessary to meet general busi- ness needs of everyonef' Remember the fun we had just pecking away and going through the formalities of taking speed tests. I do believe the Senior girls in shorthand made good use of those lines and curves. LIBRARY SCIENCE Library Science is practical training in the use of the Carnegie Library. This wasn't the semester course the Seniors took in two weeks, but was a special course for librarians, intellectual people who must constantly be surrounded by books of knowledge. I-IoMIt ECONOMICS A two year course in foods is offered in senior high. This was an important course of our alma mater and should be continued on a greater scale through Ollt the country. It has been greatly aided by the manufac- turers of Bisquick and canned French fries. A two year course in clothing is offered in senior high. They taught 'em to sew on buttons and make dresses, but they didn't teach 'em to weave wool or cultivate silk worms. K'Homecraft is a one year subject that all girls should take. It has taught the girls to make a home out of a house, but not how fffontinuecl on page 65j
