INTRODUCTION The College Course at L. H. S. prepares the students for entrance to any of the major colleges by giving a well-balanced course of English, science, mathematics, language, social studies, and physical educa- tion. The Commercial Course offers pupils a chance to become secretaries or accountants. Their course consists of commercial studies and any of the electives which are offered. The Co-operative Curriculum develops the hand skills of the pupils. Members alternate their weeks between vocational school and high school and thus have a chance to participate in outside activities. The first honor roll requires three and one-half A’s: the second, three and one-half B’s, and the third, an average of three and one-half B’s. For his senior graduation, the pupil must have a total of one hundred twenty scholastic points. The major subjects are worth ten points while the electives vary according to their importance. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The various divisions of the English Department attempt to develop in the students the ability to read understandingly, to communicate clearly, pleasantly, and forcefully, and to think intelligently and comprehensively. These factors are brought out by writing unified, coherent, forceful compositions; by reading the works of standard authors of the past and present; by the study and application of grammatical and rhetorical principles; by increasing the vocabulary; and by oral compositions and discussions. PUBLIC SPEAKING The Public Speaking Class enables the student to develop any special talent he 10 Gi 6 WY may have in the mest essential speaking skills. The assignments include student lectures, oral reading of prose and poetry, recitations, the production of several plays, and many special individual projects through- out the school year. FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The Language Department aims to organise the work so as to prepare the students adequately for entrance to col- leges or scientific schools where standards are exacting. Two-year courses in German, Latin, Italian and a three-year course in French are offered. For the benefit of those students who are not going to college, sufficient material is offered to enable them to enter various professions, hold clerical positions, or to become translators. The department feels that there is no greater advancement made towards world peace than to learn to know various countries through talking and using their languages. PLANE GEOMETRY Plane Geometry is required in preparing for entrance to the majority of colleges because no other subject trains the mind so well in the habits of correct reasoning. The course alms to teach the students: (1) to investigate the facts before drawing con- clusions, (2) to discover relationships which may connect the facts, (3) to base each specific statement on a reliable general principle, (4) to predict the inevitable outcome of given data, and (5) to choose and apply the general rule pertaining to any particular case. This subject gives to the student basic training in systematic creative thinking that helps to get the maximum benefit from the study of other subjects. It also promotes the ability to recognize weak links in false reasoning and to arrive at sound judgments in the every-day world.
