They include botany, zoology, trigonometry, three levels of drafting, art, auto mechanics, and different levels of music. At the beginning of the year, students are given a wide selection of subjects to choose from. Unpopular subjects are dropped from the curriculum to allow more room for the popular ones. The science courses offered are Life Science, Biology, Biology ll, Botany, and Zoology. jHS is one of two schools in the state that offers Biology lll, which is a zoology course. Another very extensive department is the Math department. Although this course is required for Sophomores, many juniors and Seniors continue their studies in this field. The English and History classes are offered in nine-week mini courses. ln English there are such courses as Mass Media, Folk- lore, World Literature, Science Fiction, and Myth and Legend. A few courses are required: these include British Literature, Composition, and American Literature. The History Department contains a lot of interesting courses such as Sidelights, Media, Civil War, Political Parties, Famous Women, Great Americans, and The Roaring 20's and Dirty 30's. American History is required the first semester to introduce students to the different areas found in History. For those students who already know what vocational jobs they are interested in there are special courses to further their know- ledge in that area. These vocational courses are Auto Mechanics, Health Occupational Education, Electronics, Drafting, Art, and Home Economics. For the musically inclined, band and choir are offered. The Band Department consists of the Senior Band and 3rd period band. The Choral Department is made up of four choirs and the Nladrigals. This year the Concert Choir won first place at the OBU Invitational Choir Festival. And last, for the people who plan to go into the Business World, typing, shorthand, accounting, Business Law, and Business English teach the necessary skills. There is really no need for anyone to complain about his classes at 1 HS because there's something for everyone. Student Life 31
