M. C. H. S. I Orange and Black 111 MISS DAVIS. . One often hears the remark- they are gone but not forgotten, and we wonder in just how many instances it is true. But the students in M. C. H. S. know of one case in which it is undoubtedly so. Shortly after the Xmas holidays, Miss Davis left us to take up new work in a new Held. She put heart and soul into her work here and made .a splendid success, which was the only one thing possible with such talent. MISS OTTO. Just one of those whole souled persons who do the right thing at the right time and who live with the joy that comes from making worldly pains a litttle less hard to bear. One who rejoices in the thought of hav- ing done good and who gladly has given her time to teach a class in Home Nurses' Training of High School girls who found it possible to enroll. And now don't you think her's is a case of preaching what you practice ? MR GOEPFERT. Whenever the Orchestra plays in Chapel we have the sensation of being lifted to a heaven of happiness. It's all because of the wonderful results obtained from the training given by the able instructor, Mr. Goep- fert. As a student body, the programs are surely appreciated, but un- doubtedly the benefit obtained by the members of the Orchestra from the training is by far greater. MISS COOPER, Librarian. Many are the troubled places that Miss Cooper smoothes away, wil- lingly hunting that elusive something wanted by so many students. Day after day there is the same hurry to find the article assigned for the next class. How patient and sincere Miss Cooper is, accommodating all to the fullest extent of her ability. MRS. SHIVE, Study Hall Supervisor. In vain has been the search for something that would justly express appreciaton to Mrs. Shive for the many things she has done for us. The position has been ahard one to fill, yet we have a feeling that she has done her duty and done it ably. Every day she realizes that pupils are very much different than they were a few short years ago when she was a student. But yet-are they? During the absence of Miss Cooper early in the fall because of inju- ries received in an auto accident, Miss Pearl Lyons of the Coffeyville City Library was employed to discharge the duties of librarian at the High School.

l l l l 1 l l L M.C H,S, Orange and Black I UEPHHTMENTE Courses of Sludg COLLEGIATE: . ' Probably the strongest course offered by M. C. H. S. is the collegiate. Undoubtedly it is good, but can it be said that it is the best? It is decidedly a college preparatory course but many take it who never go to college. Those who enroll are sure of getting a fine general education and a vast amount-of cultural training. Prompt admittance Without ex- amnation is given graduates of this course to almost any college in the United - States. NORMAL: The Normal course, too, has a definite purpose, it gives a training for one professsion, that of teaching.. Many enter the course who do not expect to teach, but only those who intend to enter the teaching pro- fession are advised to take the Normal course. The required subjects of this course cover the college entrance requirements, being practically the same as those of the collegiate course. BUSINESS: In this department there are more technical subjects, subjects per- taining to the nature of the course than in any other. Yet not all the subjects are business, but are so arranged to form a completely rounded out course. The commercial subjects are admirably interspersed with academic ones, thus forming a course suitable to any one, and especally to those who intend to take up business Work. GENERAL: The required and elective subjects of this course afford material from which a good general education may be obtained. Or it may form the foundation for a college education. It is regarded by many as the best course for an all around education offered by M. C. H. S. The four courses offered by M. C. H. S. are very good, covering the required Work in the most eflicient and Satisfactory manner. The courses are so related and combined that one cannot be said to be better than any other, but each one has its special purpose and gives its special train- ing. Furthermore, each one admits the graduate to college without examination, provided the few subjects always required for college en- trance are included. Twenty-two 11921
