One of the primary goals of any edu- cational institution is naturally the dis- pensation of as much knowledge, practi- cal or academic, as the individual stu- dent can acquire during his matricula- tion. In the matter of available courses, our school offers opportunities on a par with the largest, best-equipped schools of the state. Our college preparatory program includes two years of Latin, two years of Spanish, four years of mathematics, in- cluding algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry, and four years of science. The commercial course provided for students at Ferndale provides full train- ing for those persons preparing to enter the great commercial or business field. The subject available include two years of bookkeeping, typing, and shorthand, plus courses in commercial law, com- mercial geography, and business machine operation. Practical arts courses offered consist of primary and advanced studies in home economics and industrial arts. Pupils with particular talents in art and music may gratify their tastes in special classes in these fields. To receive a diploma signifying grad- uation, each student must earn a total of seventeen credits, one of which is re- ceived for four years of physical educa- tion and health. Every student must take four years of training in English, and four years of the social studies, including civics, world history, American history, and problems of democracy. With such a varied program presented by fully-accredited teachers, Ferndale High School students can indeed feel that their school provides them superior op- portunities to reach their goal in learn- ing.
