VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Instruction is provided in the areas of animal science, plant science, agricultural business, and agricultural mechanics. These teaching-learning areas are undergirded by and supplemented with vocational guidance and the development of leadership and citizenship abilities. Emphasis is given to the practice of learning by doing -- students apply the principles and concepts learned in systematically planned learning experiences both during and after school hours. These experiences are obtained at school, at the student's home, or through businesses in the community which involve occupations in agriculture. WHAT SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Biology, like all of science, is an organized body of knowledge gained from experimentation and objective obser- vation, considered to be true and reliable but subject to change and revision in the light of new discoveries. Biology is also a method of inquiry and problem solving involving several procedures for investigation. The conquest of polio affords a dramatic example of the success of scientific methods.

BRICKLAYING Since this is our second year of masonry training, we feel far more qualified in meeting its requirements over our first year. We have discovered our bricklaying instructor, Mr. Hedrick, to be a highly skilled teacher. After several days of school, he had us working in our books and practicing the studied techniques. We, as his pupils, work well under his guidance. The community of Farmer is receiving our work as a beneficial part of our training. WE ARE ' ’ ‘ PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education is a phase of the'total education program, and as such should have the same goal that gives purpose to all other learning experiences--the well-rounded development of all students as individuals and as respon- sible citizens in our democratic society. Physical education should be thought of as a way of education . The se- lection and conduct of physical education activities are selected in full consideration to values in human growth, de- velopment, and behavior. i 1ft ■ ' i ' 3 r
