LOWELLIAN mi cles. The Freshmen and Sophomores taking Agriculture spend about half their time on it. This subject is a very practical one for anyone who intends to take up farming. Miss Chapman is our Music supervisor. She teaches both girls’ and boys’ Glee Clubs. Besides this, a new feature of this department are instru¬ ment classes and voice classes. The instrument classes are for those who are not yet sufficiently advanced in playing to join the orchestra. Another interesting class which was added to our course of study this year is the Journalism class. Miss Boyle instructs this class and supervises the publication of our year-book and our high school paper. The work on the paper is done by this Journalism class. The purpose of this class is to give training to those who may wish to take up journalistic work later on in life and much experience is gained through the publication of our paper and year-book. This is getting t o be such a long letter that I had better stop, or you’ll never have time to read it. Please come and visit school the next time you are in Lowell. Your nephew WOT UV1TT.

Shorthand, and Commercial Arithmetic, and Miss Hebner teaches Advanced Typing, Advanced Shorthand, Book¬ keeping, and Commercial Law. Both of these teachers are newcomers. This is Miss Hebner’s first year here, and Mrs. White came to take Miss Graf’s place at the end of the first semester. Two classes of girls are studying cooking under the guidance of Miss Kenyon. The Freshmen class meets the second and third periods. The other class is composed of Sophomores and is held the fourth and fifth periods. This class prepares the hot lunches which are served at noon each day. Next year there will be a lunchroom in the addition for the use of those who eat lunch at school. A new feature of our Agricultural course this year was a course in farm shop and farm management. Mr. Holmes taught this, as well as two other classes of Agriculture, one for Freshmen and Sophomores and the other for Juniors and Seniors. Farm shop is something like manual training except that the things built are things used on the farm. This class built some sturdy-looking step-ladders, as well as chicken coops and various other arti- Page fifteen
