MISS RUTH DOWE Principal Diligent Administronon ond Our school is rapidly becoming one of the best modern vocational-technical high schools for girls in the United States. This year we have been proud to announce that we have a new look in admission requirements and in the courses offered. Our areas of maior specialty are of interest both to girls who wish to go to work immediately upon graduation from high school, and to those who wish to take further training in the vocation of their choice. Next year in addition to class work in our special- ties there will be work experience in certain fields -foods, business, practical nursing and in our new course for dental assistants. Since Knowledge with- out practice makes but half the artist, our girls will be able to increase their knowledge and put into practical use the things they have learned. Our new look in requirements and courses will be reflected In increased effectiveness of our graduates. 56.1-fi STANDING IN THE HALL at the close of the day to bid the girls farewell are our two administrators, Mrs. Martin and Miss Dowe. MRS. ELVA MARTIN Vice-Principal
