After a lapse of three years, the choral students gave an operetta, which was re- ceived with warm approval. The choirs, band, and the orchestra presented a variety of music for the enjoyment of students at various programs.

Education Meant Classes, Books and Proiects To gain an education, which will help us to make successful lives for ourselves after graduation, is the primary purpose of school. Whether we go to college or begin immediately to provide for ourselves, we are better pre- pared for the future after we have completed our high school education. We may be trained in business, homemak- ing, or agriculture. We may learn much about industrial arts, or science, which is being stressed todayg and we may take a variety of these and other subjects to prepare ourselves for college. Most of all, we learn how to become better citizens of our community and how to live better with others. LEFT: The home economics students learn many useful things.
