.L A novel, essays, and short stories the importance of character development is stressed. Oral and Written reports are an integral part of this course of study. English IV-English literature from Chaucer to the twentieth century is studied in detail. An attempt is made to give the student a conception of the changes in literature as the result of social, economic, and political changes in the life of a people. An intensive rather than extensive course of study is emphasized. , ' ' ' 'A 'A''' Av''AvA'A'A-'v'v'v'v'v'v'v'v'-A-Av'v'-'-'v'v--.-v-.e.-.-:v-ve A,A,-,-,-,-,A,-,-,-,-,-,-vAvAv-v-v-,-,.,-,-v.v.AAA.AAv.v.v.v.v.A.v.'.v.v.v.v.vAv.v,',v,vt 1, sd , 1, Uv I 'I N I :I ..

Plane Geometry-The aims of this course are to teach the pupils to reason rather than to accept statements as true without proof, to use geometric tools accurately in simple construction and show their practical application.

'-'i-1'r v' 30 Blue and Goltl l V C A ADVANCED CLASS IN HOME MANAGEMENT ummary of Departments No attempt is made to arbitrarily divide the curriculum into Coursesv 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 'electivesf All students who expect to enter college, however, must make a selection from those electives which are preceded by an asterisk UQ except that for some colleges, courses in Latin are not required though it is highly desirable. Either two vears of Latin or two years of French are essential. In cases where any doubts 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. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT English I-Freshman English seeks to de- velop a fundamental knowledge of applied grammar and some skill in speaking and reading. English II--The aim of Sophomore English is to give the student a basic appreciation of the history and types of literature. Plays, short stories, poetry, essays and novels are analyzed for construction and appreciation. There is an emphasis upon grammar in oral and written reports. English III-The student in English Ill gains a detailed knowledge and understanding of American literature from Colonial days to the 20th Century. Writers who were merely names on a title page become a reality through a recog- nition of thc importance of historical movements upon literature. In the study of drama, poetry,

32 Blue and Gold Algebra II--This is a review of elementary algebra plus a sufficient amount of advanced material to prepare the pupils for college. GENERAL MATHEMATICS The aims of this course are: ill To present mathematics as a practical subject arising from the life situations of ordinary people, Q21 To give an insight into mathematical principles necessary to understand our increasingly compli- cated environment, Q32 To provide an explora- tory course in mathematics. LANGUAGE DEPT. Students who have a fairly good average in English may elect a language course. Those who are planning to enroll in college or nurses' train- ing should take two years of one language to ful- fill the requirements of those institutions. A Latin I-It is the purpose of this course to endow the student with the following: flj The fundamentals of Latin grammar to permit the student to continue Latin II, Q21 A correspond- ing knowledge of English grammar, QSQ An acquaintance with derivatives and related Latin words, 14D Sentence writing and translation of Latin, 15D The meaning of a word in its sur- rounding contextg ffil The historical and cul- tural material available in Latin Ig and UQ An acquaintance with mythological material. 5 Latin II--The aims set up for the first year are continued and enlarged upon, with more in- tensiied study. The studentys power to translate should become increased. There is continued opportunity to become acquainted with the history of Rome. Caesar proper is not encountered until late in the year and then in simplified form. French-A study of this language aims at giving the pupil an understanding of the French way of life and an appreciation of the contribu- tions of France to the modern world and in par- ticular to American life and culture. In the first year of study emphasis is placed on oral French along with those fundamentals of grammar which are necessary to make it possible to carry on simple conversations. An average of C must be obtained in French I to continue with French II. In the second year the main emphasis is on reading French culmin- ating in the translation of a French novel. SCIENCE DEPT. General S c i e n c e-The composition anal changes in matter, control and use of fire anzl heat, cause and prevention of disease, food, our water supply, weather, harnessing our energy, use of machines, electricity and light, methods of communication, and transportation, the heavens, the earthis surface, and plant life are topics generally studied. Biology-A course designed to give a more thorough systematic knowledge of the living things on this planet. Much emphasis is placed on the relationship between hitherto unfamiliar organisms and everyday routine of life. Physics-The course helps to develop the ability to observe facts accurately, to record in an orderly fashion the data obtained, to set up apparatus correctly and expeditiously, to make quantitive measurements, which may be used to solve a physical problem and most of all to make accurate computations and to state results in good English and in readable form. Chemistry-The science deals chiefly with the changes in the composition of matter, the practical application of chemistry to everyday life, human health, in the home, in industry, its contributions to society, to plant and animal life, all are stressed. Mathematical solutions to chem- ical problems are required. Laboratory periods for student experimentation average two periods per week. SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPT. Civics-This course deals with the meanins! of American democracy, the major problems of our government, and the obligations of the citizens. Vocations-This course is given to help young people to understand the workers of the world and the kinds of work they do.
