as Literature Enriches Its Future English was taken by all M.H.S. students, and therefore, it was one of the main topics of con- versation during final exams. English fundamentals were drilled into students from the first grade through the twelfth grade. ln the first few years of grade school, sentence structure was taught. During the freshman year of high school, students learned that a participle is a verb form ending with -ed or -ing and acting as an adjective, while during their senior year, they found that poetry His the sweet sap of the tree of lifef, Literature and grammar received an equal share of attention in the English department. Novels and short stories added to a studentls knowledge and in- creased his vocabulary. Plays were also an im- portant part of literature. Shakespeare's plays were found to contain some of the best literature ever written with its golden vocabulary. Spelling was very important, also. Even some of the best literature ever written was found to be spoiled by spelling errors. may 1 ag- 2 '.-TM? 5? i Mrs. Sue Sherfick shows English students her bulletin board career display. t.,-in Mr. James Oswalt, Junior English instructor. returns corrected themes to English students.

as Home Ec. Develops Domestic Arts The home economics students had excellent opportunities this past year to prepare themselves to be future homemakers. These future homemakers created a domesticated atmosphere with the arrange- ments ofthe sewing room, kitchen, living room, dress- ing quarters, laundry room, and bath. These surround- ings helped provide basic training in preparing varied foods, sewing practical clothing, studying design and color, nursing the sick, caring for young children, in family living, and other related subjects. Among their many activities and studies, the students found time to make and sell candy apples, receive guests, and have a style show. ln this show, the student models exhibited the many clothes that they had designed and made. Also with the help of their instructor, Miss Margaret Mclntire, the students chose their own theme, decorated, and wrote narra- tions for the show. Always the home economics de- partment added fun to work, and together they pro- duced healthy, experienced homemakers of the future.
