Mathematics is important to everyone, and Marion High School has developed a program for training students in various branches of math. Courses are offered in such subjects as shop math, commercial arithmetic, and algebra. Students may also receive instruction in plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry. This program helps develop students who can cope with the math problems of today and it also teaches students how to think more clear- ly about problems which arise. Collecting leaves and wildflowers, studying the combination of elements, and experiment- ing with the diffraction of light are all con- nected with the science curricula at Marion High. Included are such classes as narcotics, psychology, electronics, physical science, aca- demic and basic biology, chemistry, and physics.

In Preparing For Future Jobs And Homemaking The practical arts department of Marion High School assists many students in prepar- ing for future occupations and homemaking by its extensive coverage in these fields of study. Drafting, electronics, printing, and many other subjects give assistance and background to students. Many students take part in on- the-job training which helps them to further their education in the specific field in which they are interested for the future. Homemaking may be learned by Marion High girls through the various subjects avail- able. The techniques of sewing and proper selection of materials are taught by clothing classes. Future homemakers learn the funda- mentals of cooking, housekeeping, and the proper care of children through their studies.
