CLOTHING • With Miss Wulz as our instructor we feel that we have progressed very much during the year. Most of the grades have been above average. We have good equipment with which to work and only this year four new electric sewing machines were bought for our use. Our first project was a towel on which we could embroider either a design or our monogram. Then we made our pajamas, which were of cotton. This took us over six weeks. Just before the holidays we made a variety of Christmas presents. We then had the privilege of choosing between smocks and blouses. Dresses were next and by this time we were beginning to feel fairly well advanced. Our last project was a dress. PHYSICS • One of the main advantages in the study of Physics is the acquiring of ability to apply the general principles of nature to things one sees about him. Physics is often regarded as consisting of five separate fields. However, they must be considered as being definitely correlated with each other. The units takes up in our Physics course are: Mechanics and Properties of Matter, Heat, Magnetism and Electricity, Wales, Matter, and Sound, Light Waves, Electrical Emissions and Waves. Specific examples, demonstrations, and rules enable the student to have a better understanding of the fundamentals of Physics and the conditions under which they operate. AGRONOMY • The Agronomy class has covered a wide range of subject-matter about soil, legumes, orcharding, gardening, and hybrid seed corn. The students have gone on many interesting field trips on which they have pruned trees, picked corn, tested soil, and studied the nodules on legumes. They have learned many interesting things on these field trips. They have cut up seed potatoes and have also tested seed corn for the farmers who have brought in their seed for this purpose. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA • The Future Farmers of America is a student organization associated with work in vocational agriculture. To belong to the Future Farmers, one must be enrolled in one of the three academic vocational agriculture courses and keep records on a project. There are several degrees of rank in the F. F. A. The highest attainable is that of American Farmer, the next that of State Farmer, and the lowest is Green Hand.
