OUR COURSE OF STUDY Everyone was pleased with the variety of subjects the faculty was able to offer our small group. The four Freshman girls are taking Geometry, General Science, English II, and Home Economics l. The Sophomores take the same subjects as the Freshmen, except the boys take Manual Training while the girls have Home Economics 11. Juniors and Seniors had quite a choice of subjects. They were: English Literature, Biology, Physics, Commercial Law, Algebra Il, Geometry, Home Economics, and Manual Training. Both classes took English Literature: the Junior girls took Biology, 1 but the boys chose Physics. The girls chose between Advanced Algebra and Commercial Law the first semester and everyone took Civics the second semes- ter and everyone took Civics the second semester. Geometry was carried as a fifth subject by a few Junior Girls. Some of the Senior boys continued Advanced Algebra the second semester and also took Trigonometry to prepare for college. Our extra curricular activities and opportunities consist of Band, Sextet, Trio, Solo and group singing, and also Basketball and Baseball. S HOT LUNCHES The Lunch Program in our school has again proven to be successful. At the beginning of this year we had as our cooks, Mrs. Unkel and Betty Weber. At the beginning of the second semester we changed cooks to Mrs. Hanner and Mrs. Coover. Our lunches are priced at twenty-two cents for High School and Junior High students and twenty cents for the lower grades. The lunch usually consists of two hot dishes, three sandwiches, a dessert and milk or fruit juice to drink. This year the order of serving has been changed. At 11:00 the primary room is served. Then at 11:30 the second and third grade room and at 11:45 the upper grades and at 12:00 noon the High School is served. This order has proven to work out nicely. Each month our school received commodities from the Federal School Lunch Aid. These help out alot! Y I 2.9

THE HISTORY OF HOLLY HOUSE At the beginning of the school year, September 1, 1948, we again welcomed back Mrs. Nyren as our Home Economics teacher for another year of homemaking. This year we have two different classes. The Freshmen make up the first year class and the Sophomores and Juniors are the advanced class. We started the year by taking a field trip to Sioux City where we visited the Old Home Bakery. lt was interesting to watch them make bread, rolls, and buns. The Juniors went shopping for curtains and slip cover material. Mrs. Nyren thought they did a very good job. ' The Freshmen started the year by making simple aprons and blouses. Then they cooked three types of breakfasts, light, medium and heavy breakfast. Next they made plans for their own ideal home. They each figured up how much it would take to furnish a house with everything. They were all amazed at the amount of money it took to satisfy their dreams. The Sophomore girls started by making drapes and glass curtains, and the Juniors made slip covers. The drapes, curtains and slip covers brighten up our house very much. The drapes and slip covers are blue with large clusters of flowers. The Freshmen papered the living room with a light tan with specks in the wall paper. We next made wool and corduroy projects. We planned our school board-faculty banquet around the Christmas theme. The Sophomores planned banquet, the Juniors cooked, and the Freshmen served. The Banquet was held December 15, 1948. We were very happy to have Mr. and Mrs. Hadley as guests. After the banquet Mr. Hadley showed moving pictures for entertainment. Everyone enjoyed the evening very much. We their studied Family Relationships, and caring for the sick. Everyone looked pale when we discussed living on a fluid diet while sick. .But after cooking a fluid diet and a light diet everyone found it wouldn't be so bad after all if the food was fixed in an appetizing way and the tray decorated and arranged neatly. Next we studied how to set a table correctly. We gave a tea for the High School boys, teachers, and Freshmen for practice. There weren't enough tea bags but everyone had a good time. We then made plans for party desserts. We made ice cream, Lemon Schaum Torte, Meringue shell, forzen fruit salad, and frozen whipped cream. We all en- joyed making them. The Freshman girls rnade spring dresses after the banquet. They look very nice. The advanced class are planning to make jackets or a good spring dress for their spring sewing project. We are all looking forward to entertaining our mothers on April ll. We are planning to have open house and style show the last of April. We have all enjoyed working with Mrs. Nyren and doing the various inter- esting things. 30
