Min' Nellie Henson Kvlgzrfmr NIA-J' Colzrfflzzre King .Yerwttzry Nlmlerfz Problefm' Clf1.r.f Takes' Fielfl Trip ,W tirst year of algebra with llying colors, so I believe I should go ahead with my second year of algebra, trigonometry and solid geometry. Yes, I had better take all the math I can, because the more I have the better litted I shall be for college. By the way, when you take your senior year of American history and civics, be Certain to include modern problems along with it. In it you make a survey of modern life and the problems involved in social, economic, and political fields in addition to going on trips to various places of business to see just how they work. It certainly sounds like a splendid idea to include such a course in the curriculum. We are the future citizens and we should know of the problems that await us. Another one of those classes which I think every- one needs is Automobile Essentials. In these days and times everyone should have the opportunity to know about the mechanism of cars. l do wish the school would allow girls to take it! I tell you what! I shall learn all there is to learn about cars and teach you everything I have learned. In the business department John Marshall offers shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping. I certainly should like to know how to type. It takes me hours to type even one of my brief letters by the one linger method. Wag Ng NWI? s 3 Qi. X Q? Ms QW? NSI fr' ,,. ,, L

Having been in the same predicament a number of times, maybe I could help you. Well, you hnished two years of Latin and decided not to continue any further. You would find Spanish, French or German very practical and at the same time enjoy them. I remember when I was studying Spanish how much fun we had giving hestas, reading plays, and singing popular South American airs. And . . Wait a minute! Popular South American airs and hestas are IHOSE tempting. But in as much as I am going to study medicine, German it is for me. You studied physical geography and biology and liked them. Then, you must take chemistry, for in its more fascinating laboratory work, you will concoct gases, liquids, and what not that you have always wanted to make with your chemical set. In your senior year you will be ready for physics, and in that class you will learn about elasticity and all kinds of things. Science is my favorite subject, so I know I shall take both of them. Since you like science so well, you ought to be interested in mathematics. You came through your I17 I Mr. Ttzjffar Rabizzfon Amiftmzt Prinripal Glfe

l know you are not musically inclined, but tell Aaron about the orchestra and vocal classes which one can take just like any other class and for which one obtains full credit. There has been such a demand for this class since the orchestra has played with the Richmond Symphony that an additional class for beginners has been created. He will be glad to hear that. I-le does love his violin so! I should not imagine that you would be inter- ested in the home economics department. The cooking classes have just had their dining room redecorated and frequently entertain guests. Home management and sewing also are a part of the de- partmentf' I wish you would dropfa hint to Elizabeth about the cooking class. She made some candy the other night. Such a mess it was! We almost forgot that most important subject of all, English. You will probably be eligible for the journalism class in your senior year. If you take advantage of this opportunity, you will receive first hand information about how a newspaper is written, edited, and published since you work on the Mof10cIe. john is whistling for me.
