Are Important We study about different countries and their re- sources in economic geography. We are required to keep a notebook on these countries, and extra credit is given for additional information about each coun- try. In vocational guidance, tests are given to help us determine our abilities and interests. After this has been determined, we can more capably choose the field we wish to enter, and select the course which best prepares us for this career. The courses from which we may choose are Commercial, Classical and Scientific. Mrs. Merrill Crissey A. B., G. S. C. George Griffin A. B., Emory University Miss Virginia Odum l Harrison Anderson M.

In business law, we discuss politics and the method of handling elections. This is so interesting that many of us have decided we would like to become lawyers or to be active in politics. World history and American history is the story of the beginning of civilization up to the present time. We have found out that thls information is con- nected with many of our other subjects, which proves very helpful. Mrs. Bob McPherson B. S., University of Georgia NIU! French Johnson Bill Glenn B.

University of Georgia Preparing for Home er Career Home versus Career - This is a choice that many girls may have to make some day, but they won't have any trouble being successful in either field if they take full advantage of our Commercial and Home Economics Departments. In the Commercial department we study typing, shorthand, bookkeeping and business arithmetic. In the Home Economics department we learned to cook, sew, and do all the necessary household duties to perfection. We know that these courses will prove beneficial whether we go to college, enter the business world, or prepare to begin a home. Miss Mary Ellen Smith Miss Eileen Tabor Miss Merlcne Sheffield M.
