High school hcmemaking courses are designed to prepare boys and girls to live successful, adjusted lives in today's society. Any skills taught are a means to an end. Our goal is to make all students better homemakers and family members. The skillful use of language is a valuable asset to any individual. Therefore, the general pur pose of English is to teach the student bet- ter means of oral and written commun- ication . All mathematic courses provide a background for advanced fields of math and science. They also help to develop logical thinking processes through reasoning and proof. The algebra, advanced algebra, and geom- etry courses offered can be applied to problems in fields such as engin- eering and physics. L KE PRESTON TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Sack Row: L. to R. to.
