In addition to the required subjects such as English, Math, History, and Natural Science, a wide variety of electives is offered. Some are brand new. Journalism, Com- me rical Art and Commercial Law fall in this category. Driver's Education classes have been filled to overflowing. Our foreign language department teaches Spanish and Latin. There has been an increased interest in Physics and Chemistry as well as larger enrollments in Trig. and Geometry. The vocational subjects, Homemaking, Typing, Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Shop, Mechanical Drawing, and Agriculture round out our curriculum. This year, a double lunch shift was introducedwhich, while it did relieve congestion, proved confusing to a few the greater part of the year. For the most part, the several changes instigated during the year were well received but griping is a large part of school life anywhere, and Mineral Wells High School is no exception. At the coke machines, outside at noon, or in the halls, griping about some phase of school life can be heard almost anytime during the day. After mid-term the classes get, smaller, the tests harder, and the homework assignments longer. Only the griping remains the same.

Your social life, too, is closely connectedwithM, W,H,S. for even after school hours much of your time is spent at functions either directly sponsored by or at the school. Dances are very popular with you, for they not only offer an opportunity to clubs or classes to make needed money, but also provide general enjoyment. Whether you prefer to spend your time dancing or talking and consuming refreshments, a dance is theplace for it. During the year you attended dances varying from sock hops to a Coronation Ball. Clubs at M,W,H,S, are also very active after hours. Many clubs undertake serious projects of service outside school time. Field trips rank high on the list of preferred club activities. Certainly banquets, usually prepared at least in part by students, sometimes edible, and always interesting, are universal favorites. At the hop Qsitting one outl. 1' C 2 .
