This is as much a part of gym class as games and exercises. Girls' physical education and health classes, taught by Miss Locks and Miss Hornbacher, teach appreciation, sports- manship, and actual playing techniques of girls athletics, as well as such courses as folk dancing. Health classes, conducted two hours a week separately for girls and boys, in- struct them in the fundamentals of first aid and human anatomy. Minnesota efficiency tests, rather unpopular with students, are state requirements. They consist of exercises which determine rating and ability in that field. B'h'I oys p yslca education, taught by Mr. Bale, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Rolle, is more stren- uous but similar to the instruction girls receive. Co-educational classes are sometimes held in social sports activity and team sports to encourage a more competitive attitude, as well as creating a more enjoyable class. Gym- nastic apparatus are also used to develop proficiency in stunts and acrobats. Dennis E. Rolle Physical Education, Drivers' Training Hockey coach, .Q U George W.

Wold Careers For Tomorrow The Area Vocational School, under the supervision of Mr. Pope and located in the Carl Wennberg Building, is a very active part of our school system. Courses in electricity, taught by Mr. Mills, auto mechanics, taught by Mr. Hanson, and nursing, taught by Mrs. Wold are the main divisions of the school. Along with actual vocational training, students are taught mathematics, basic science, elementary bookkeeping, and business management, as related to the above vocations. High school students may start a course and finish after graduation. The school is open to people from all over the northwest, their tuitions being paid by their home school districts until they are 21 years old. Sixty-two local farmers, all ex-Gl's, are enrolled in three classes known as Institutional On-Farm Training, an important but little-known division of the local school system. Besides classroom instruction, the class members receive on-farm training which includes planning buildings, crop rotation, enlarging farm operations, dairy proiects, and keeping farm records. Country school teachers-to-be take a one-year teachers' training course offered by the local school system. Graduation certificates allow them to teach in Minnesota for two years, after which they must go to summer classes to be eligible to continue teaching. This course, without the summer courses, roughly equals one year of college if education is continued. Institutional On- Farm Training Teachers' Training Department Left to Rightg Lester W.

The maintenance staff, consisting of building custodians, bus drivers, and cooks, is indispensable to the operation of our school. The often-overlooked custodians are working most of the time, even while students and teachers are on vacations. During the summer vacation they are at school, painti ng, re- pairing, waxing, and vornishing to get the building rehabilitated after those long, hard nine months of wear and tear. Every summer they put a sealer on floors and varnish most bf the furniture. They spruce up the gym, apply paint and varnish where it's needed, along with miscellaneous odds and ends. During the school term the custodians are kept busy cleaning and repair- ing. Each custodian has one floor to look after. All the rooms on that floor are his responsibility. The bus drivers have regular daily routes to bring rural students to school. Some of them are also part-time custodians. The cooks are those people who prepare food for many hungry mouths during the school year. They prepare menus in accordance withthe state's standards. Custodlans: Left to right: S. A.
