MR. A. A. BURKEY Superintendent of McDonald Schools Preparing girls to be more efficient homemakers was the aim of homemaking courses. The cooking laboratory was fortunate in having a gas plant where- by gas was generated from high-test gasoline by means of electricity. The village did not have gas in the homes for cooking purposes at that time. The machine was located in the basement and the gas was piped to the cooking laboratory where there were individual gas plates at each desk. A fireless cooker, a pressure cooker, and a large supply of chinaware made housekeeping in this course interest ing and pleasant for the girls. I6 On March 12, 1937, the Operetta Tom Sawyer was pre- sented by the students of Roosevelt School. The music for the play was directed by Pearle Knapp and the acting parts were directed by Josephine Roush. One of the largest audiences to witness a production of this kind attended this performance. . fy ..f'?i'i?.j3m Q - ' -mg. , -A.-34 sms, , .. . nas -- - j W' t .

at McDonald H igh. The '32-'33 season was one of the most successful seasons enjoyed by McDonald basketballers. Out of twenty-eight games played, they won twenty -six and lost only two, being undefeated in regu- lar season play. The two losses came in the Sectional and N. E. O. District championship tournaments at the hands of Lowellville and Howland. The trophy case was located in the Board of Edu- cation Room and contained trophies awarded to McDonald High School from 1930-1935. Later, a new trophy case was built on the first floor of the high school. Some of the awards included in the case were presented to junior-high, fresh- man, and senior students for various achievements in football, basketball, track, scholarship, mu- sic, and journalism.

Knowledge was received by each student in elementary business. Most of this infor- mation was obtained in regular mathema- tics. courses. Each student should have learned to keep simple, personal accounts, interpret business forms, understand the principles governing the payment of taxes, and to budget his income. Business train- ing is not composed of stenography and typewriting alone but of a variety of re- lated subjects dealing with business methods and ideas. In 1937 our band was completely uniformed including color guards, drum majors, and majorettes. The fact that the entire band was uniformed and the cost was met by the efforts of the private citizens was a great tribute to those who participated. The uniforms cost more than 352, 000. MHS joins national war defense savings program. Selling of war stamps and bonds was sponsored by the History Club. We received several certificates of awards and merit from the National War Finance Committee for the fine way our school carried out its program of war stamps and bond sales. The sales took place every morning and noon in the main entrance. Until 1945 the sales totaled 34, 531. 55 and by 1946 we had accumulated an additional 351, 941. 95 to make a total of 856,4'73. 50.
