Departments of the Faculty... The Fine Arts department offers to the student vocal and instrumental music and art. These courses aim to give a better understanding and appreciation of art and music, together with practical experience in these fields. This is truly an important department, for the student must be taught to realize the great importance of cultural instruction. ★ The study of languages, both classic and modern, is offered to the students of M. H. S. This is of great value in preparing them for their future life, since a person with a comprehensive knowledge of a foreign language has a certain cultural background that is not usually attained otherwise. The study of languages brings about a fuller understanding of the traits and customs of the various nations. The students of M. H. S. receive their knowledge and understanding through the efforts of their teachers. The Science department of the school consists of Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. These courses give students a general basic knowledge of the sciences, which, with additional college training, will train science teachers and prepare students for industry and research. ★ In the Home Economics department the students receive advantages not only in cultural and home-making directions, but also they are prepared for vocations such as in the field of dietetics, teaching, clothing retail, and nursing schools.

Departments of the Faculty... The Social Science department of the school, which consists of World History, American History, Social and Economic Problems, is of great value to the students. In these subjects, a student studies not only the events of past times, but also the present including, also the Government of the United States. With this knowledge of problems, which have been solved in the past, the student leaves school prepared to meet the problems of the world which have been triply increased by the war. The advantage of this training may easily be understood. The vocational department, commonly called the shop, is another part of the school system which, like the commercial department, prepares the student to enter a job immediately after graduation. Mechanical drawing, electric and machine work, and instruction in the auto shop are taken only by boys and train them in their chosen field of work. These students, after having studied their vocation through their entire high school years find themselves prepared to enter mechanical jobs, and with a little additional training are skilled workers which, in this time, are so vital to industry. ★ R. 0.
