A DAY AT M.H.S. Biology introduces these students to the liv- ing beings about them. It aids students in their comprehension of nature and their world. Vive la France! Through stories, songs, and of course, a lot of grammar and vocabulary, Miss Kinniry makes France very real to her French students. If you have a friend who seems to be jabbering all the time, don't complain. He may be practicing his French on you. If you’re single, put down one. If you’re mar- ried, put down one for you, one for your wife, and five for your little ones. From budgets to tax returns, the economics students learn it all. Newton watched an apple fall from a tree, and became world famous. Can you imagine what these physics students might accomplish?

For with their sound train- ing in mechanical drawing they will reach that goal or aspire to another equally rewarding pro- fession. What good is shorthand if you can’t read it? None, of course. That’s why these young ladies practice transcription. They will step out of this class with an assurance gained only by thorough knowledge and skill in a subject, and step into rewarding secretarial positions. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and his class won’t need it as an excuse. Develving into the letter of the law, these students are becom- ing better citizens of the country. Music, maestro, please!” At ball games, as- semblies, or parades, the M.H.S. band is always ready to perform.
