Mr. Carson’s biology class gets some idea of what an amoeba looks like by peering through the micro¬ scopes furnished for student use by the science department. “William has the answer!” Mrs. Murrell must have asked a hard question since William Koons, the only boy in this bookkeeping class, seems to be the only one who knows. MHS has an advanced business de¬ partment to help those students who want to enter the world of com¬ merce. Thousands of dollars worth of equipment and well trained boys are the reasons for the success of Mr. Hoch’s machine shop class.

TOMORROW Students listen intently as Mr. Wilber Kendall from the Martinsville Daily Re¬ porter explains the opportunities in the printing field on Career Day, while future farmers listen to some of the problems that may face them as stock raiser W. J. Hardy outlines the opportunities in the agricultural field. What to do after graduation is one of the questions that students try to find the answer to in Mrs. Hazel Owens’ social living classes. Here Mike Quakenbush, Maurene Heshelman and Linda Gerkin are using the vocational file, textbooks, and posters to help them reach a decision. £ David Green and Nancy Norman study the vocational guidance bulletin board in the library, while Carolyn Dutton consults with her freshman counselor, Mrs. Murrell, as she plans her program of study for next year. C? ' -rf Planning is an important phase of the work on the English department’s creative writing magazine, “Highlights.” Members of the senior English classes serving on the staff were Mary Jane Porter, Jim Asher, Jim Donnellan, Barbara Gregory, Judy Wil¬ lis, Jim Tutterow, Peggy Hicks, Bob Bren- ton and David Harker.

FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW From chemistry lab to athletic field MHS provides facilities for building character and skills. Industrial arts majors consistently land good jobs in industry. The homemaking de¬ partment aims for the building of better home life. Other vocational skills are developed in the business and vocational agriculture depart¬ ments. To meet the problems of this technical age, the science department stresses the need for scientific thinking and offers practice in scientific research methods. The math depart¬ ment gives drills in arithmetic fundamentals in the junior high to acquaint the student with a set of simple tools to which he may add the algebra, geometry and trig courses offered later. The theme of the second annual Book Bazaar was “Ex¬ ploring the World Through Books.” Miss Shufflebarger and Larry Murrell show the prospective customers the good points of the books at their table. MHS offers students a chance to build along the lines of citizenship and patriotism. Each morning Robin Durrett and Tommy Dunigan could be seen raising the flag and in the evening taking it down. Eager parents look on as Mrs. Favour demonstrates the sight testing machine at the first school open house for par¬ ents. Many parents, who were interested in the future of their children, attended.
