I THEECHO gg' IGI To the Class of l932 INE is a unique position as teacher, principal, and coach, and as such, you as a class will leave me many lasting memories. As a teacher, I will remember your class for its fine spirit, for your scholastic attainments, as well as for your initiative, courtesy, and effort. As principal, for your cooperation in our line assembly programs, particularly during the past year, for the democratic atmosphere that is bound to stay as a permanent monument to your fine work in the Student Council, for your originality in the 1931 Junior Prom to make it one of the best, and for your loyalty and unselfishness in raising money for an Athletic Field from which you, as a class, will derive very little benefit. As a coach, a memory of the -courage, alertness, and fine sportsmanship certain mem- bers of your class showed in winningq the last five football games, and last, but not least, a mental picture of the jackets with the red hoods. . I know that in my youth, and I doubt that it is any different now, advice was often given by elders which had a tendency to become monotonous, and in time fell on deaf ears as does rain from a roof. Yet while I realize this, I hope you will remember that the victor in life is the man or woman who Finds a little more strength for just one more effort, who never admits defeat, but who rises and goes forward despite every loss. And so with this last thought, I am sure that the faculty would wish to join me in wishing you, the largest class to ever graduate from Flemington High School, success, health, and happiness. HAROLD S. GOLDSMITI-I, Principal, Senior High School io

Tniz Ecuo WI 1 - WD! Program of Studies LEMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL offers a varied, yet eiiicient, program of studies, not miscellaneously arranged, but carefully thought out, well planned, and approved by the State Board of Education. The Commercial Course is a strictly vocational one in which the student specializes in type-writing, stenography, and book-keeping. It aims to equip the student with a practical foundation in the job of earning a living, to understand the fundamentals of the law as it applies to business practice, and to understand the procedure of standard office practice and the handling of business records. Since a large majority of girls become home-makers upon their graduation from high school, a Home 'Economics Course is oifered which tries to have the work started in school carried over to the home. The various subjects are not denied to the student not taking the course, but are offered as electives to those desiring to take them. The Normal Course is offered to those planning to enter a State Teachers' College or Normal School. For the more mechanically inclined individual, a Manual Training Course is offered. This department consists of five branches of endeavor, namely, wood work, sheet metal working, electrical application, printing, and mechanical drawing. This course attempts to develop a sense of color harmony, an appreciation of the use of the hands, and a desire for orderliness in industry. Both the General and College Preparatory Agriculture Courses enable a student to receive training and guidance in progressive and economical farming. Another purpose of this department is to teach boys to make the country a better place in which to live. In addition to these courses of study, three college preparatory curricula are offered to those desiring to go on to higher institutions of learning. The Latin Course makes a study of literature and the languages and leads to the College of Liberal Arts. The Scientiiic and Technical Courses both major in science, mathematics, and a foreign language, the only difference being the requirement of Trigonometry in the Technical Curriculum. Through the French Department, pupils become acquainted with the customs and laws of the French people, receive a sufiicient knowledge of the grammar to warrant easy reading, Fluent speaking, and an ability to read French literature. The Fine Arts Department attempts to encourage an appreciation of color harmony and its production, as well as a love of fine arts. To acquaint the students with worth-while music and to develop an appre- ciation of it, are the aims of the Music Department. There are some subjects required of every individual before he may graduate. These are more commonly known as Citizenship Courses. Through a study of them students become acquainted with the issues facing the country, and are offered suggestions as to their remedy. As well as receiving civic training. a student is developing in mind and body. In this group are English. Civics, United States History, Problems of Democracy, First Aid, Sophomore Information, and Physical Education.
