Sociology and United States History are required for raduation. Civics and Ilome Economics CGirlsl are required as Freshman or Sophomore subjects. Glee Club, Band, Physical Education and Music Appreciation are offered to both girls and boys for which one-half credit is received. Subjects preceded by an f'l receive credit for college entrance. Those preceded by a ffl dagger are essential to sound business training. 5 H ' 'I No attempt is made to arbitrarily divide the curriculum into Courses so-called, calling one the college preparatory course, another the com- mercial, or another by some other name. On the contrary, it is our purpose to leave the pupil as unhampered as possible. Certain subjects are required of all pupils. Aside from these, pupils are given wide freedom of choice among studies called 'electives'. All students who expect to enter college, however, must make a selection from those electives which are preceded by an asterisk UD except that for some colleges, courses in Latin are not required though it is highly desirable. Either two years of Latin or two years of French are essential. In cases Where any doubt exists in the minds of parents or pupils as to subjects to be chosen, advice should be sought from the office. When- ever it becomes evident that a pupil has made a mistake in the choice of his studies, an attempt will be made to remedy the difficulty.
