Materials, tools, processes, jobs, products, organizations, and problems of industry are studied with special emphasis on their relation to human beings. Work habits are developed through reading texts, visiting factories, planning projects and using tools and materials in the field of wood and metal working, electricity, ceramics, printing, and textiles. The students learn to be a very important part of our industrial society. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Having been revised this past year, the voca- tional agriculture department is now geared more closely to fill the needs of boys of the Hilton area in occupations in agriculture. These occupations include production, marketing, research, sales service, engineering, and farming. Lectures, texts, and field trips help to provide the knowledge nec- essary in these occupations. Practical experience is also an important part of this department. Super- vised programs include assisting farm operations, ownership of livestock and equipment, and in- vestment in crops and other enterprises. All of these aids in developing skills connected with agri- culture. Agriculture and Industrial Arts. Mr. .l. B. Hilton Hmmmmm, this is the half mark, what comes next?

I wanna hold your haaaaand! MUSIC New band and music rooms are a great asset for the growing Junior High music program. In a music course lasting twenty weeks, the students study historical periods in music, folk, and popular music, musical instruments, and musical drama. In addition to this, one hundred fifty students are taking instrumental lessons. Two .lunior High bands have also been formed, and practice in the new, sound-proofed rooms. The program is growing continually with the greater interest in music taken by students. The Senior High music program is also grow- ing. There are now three Senior High bands, the Senior band, the marching band, and the newly formed concert band. All have won high honors in their fields. Seventy students also take instru- mental lessons. In addition to the instrumental program, many students take part in the choral section. This includes the large chorus, vocal lessons, and several small vocal groups. Both this and the instrumental program are growing con- tinually. Music Department Miss M. Harp, Mr. R. Gunther, Mr. C.
