Those pursuing the commercial and normal training courses have a somewhat less rigid schedule. In every ease, however, we strive to give all students a thorough drill in spelling, grammar and composi- tion and an opportunity to read and interpret good literature. Oral composition in particu- lar is stressed in all classes. Our senior year offers the students some work in journalismi. The vocational agricultural course comprises a full year of shop work, another based on the study of crops and a third dealing with animal husbandry. Project work is carried on throughout the year, trips are made to various fairs, judging contests are staged and speakers well versed in this field procured to appear before our classes. Our commercial department has grown into one of such proportions that our equipment can scarcely satisfy our needs. No one now-a-days has a complete education without the ability to type, and our students, sensing this situation, are scheduling in the department, or are requesting that they be allowed to carry typing as an extra subject. In our regular busi- ness course, we offer two years each of stenography and typing and one of bookkeeping. Our science department includes both the physical and social sciences. In the former group we offer instruction in the following: general science, physics, biology, physiology and geography, in the latter, we place history, fwhich includes work in ancient, modern and Americanj economics, civics and psychology. Laboratory work is practiced in the classes in the physical sciences while a generous library serves as a source for reference work in The home economics department offers work in both domestic science and domestic art. According to season the canning of fruit is studied, the serving of hot lunches managed and dinners or banquets planned as occasion demands. Trips are made to the local shops for the purpose of studying meats and fruits. A well-cooked and properly balanced meal is their aim. In the household arts classes our girls are taught to plan and sew their own garments, and to choose proper color schemes for dress and home. Our music department has developed by leaps and bounds. At present our schedule in- cludes the following organizations: three girls, glee clubs, a boys' glee club, a sextette, an octette, a mixed chorus, an orchestra and a band. Our sextette, octette and Bel Canto club very frequently appear before the various clubs of the city and this year were entered in the state music contest. Each spring our music department boasts of a splendid operetta. Our physical education consists of floor work for all girls and boys, not exempt because of some disability. The boys in addition enjoy competitive work in football, baseball, basket- ball, wrestling and track. The girls in our school play volley ball in the fall, basketball during the winter season and kittenball during the spring. Some very splendid work in calisthenics has been developed this year. The climax of the girls' basketball season is an interclass tournament, the winners of which record their victory on a suitable plaque. To those students who expect to teach, the normal training department opens its doors. Pedagogy and methods are given proper attention. The prospective teachers are given the opportunity to observe in the grades and later required to teach not only in our own school but in the rural schools, in both cases under supervision. Algebra is required of all the freshmen and plane geometry of all our sophomores. To those desiring to do more advanced work we offer intermediate algebra and solid geometry. Arithmetic is pursued by many in the junior or senior year, and we find this course very much worthwhile. Our work in Latin had dwindled to such an extent that our department could boast only of two small classes, one scheduled for freshman Latin, and the other for Caesar. We are happy to say that a new impetus created enthusiasm enough to bring about the organ- ization of a class willing to work for the sake of knowledge alone. This group reviewed Caesar, worked on excerpts from Vergil, Ovid, Horace and Letters of Cicero, and received no credit for their labors. The health of our students is carefully guarded by a very efficient nurse, who, though engaged to be with us only two days each week, finds time to examine all suspects Our library containing 1,211 books, some newspapers and a very generous supply of magazines, is properly conducted by an efficient librarian. May this little resume help to explain to our readers what our corps of instructors and student body--this past year 270 in number-are doing to keep busy. xi U I 0 y 1 Q Q X ff XIX Q si XQX XEX 22 x the latter.
