Under the guidance of Miss Ruth Vertrees, Distributive Education prepares the student for a career in retailing and selling. Each student, in addition to attending DE class for two hours a day, earns school credits by working in a local firm fifteen hours weekly. Attending daily the music departmentis in- strumental and vocal courses are more than three hundred students. All of these courses are elective, although members of the operetta work- shop, soloists, sextets, quartets, trios, and the girls' choir are chosen by tryouts. Breath control and proper tone quality, as well as correct dic- tion and clear enunciation, are among the topics taught to the beginners' chorus. Harmony, development of smooth phrasing, and mastery of the basic techniques and funda- mentals are goals toward which the band and orchestra classes strive.

These courses teach the girls to plan well-balanced meals, to assemble and make wardrobes, to decorate a home, and to properly care for children. The food classes plan and prepare nutritious, as well as appetizing meals. The clothing classes study the design and color of textiles, in addition to the actual material itself. All of the subjects in this field are elective. Boys, too, have an extensive choice of study in industrial arts. In these courses they have the opportunities to either draw and design ma- chines and tools or use them in actual vocation training. They may also choose to develop skills in such fields as metals, woodworking, welding, auto mechanics, drafting, and a new course of electronics which was added this year. Being able to express one,s self in a confident manner and learning to be sensitive and aware of objects having individual beauty and taste are main objectives of the art classes. Crafts courses do their work in leather, metal, wood, glass, and plastics, while the pottery classes work with clay and ceramics. Classes doing more ad- vanced work concentrate on three-dimensional construction and printing in addition to tech- niques of advertising, illustration and sculpture.

Classes Keep Students Physically Fit Variation in education is the proper phrase for the physi- cal education department at MHS. This department is kept busy six periods a day with seasonal and year-round sports for both boys and girls. A new section of bleachers was in- stalled in the large gym, an aid to gym classes as well as to extracurricular activities. Spring and early fall Hncl the students outdoors, while during winter the students retreat within the boundaries of the three gyms.

Safety and driver training classes are Offered at MHS, en- abling students to learn to use a car in a safe and lawful manner. In safety they are first taught the fundamentals of driving and to recognize various automobile parts, after which they may use one of the four dual-control cars, under a teacher's watchful guidance, in actual driving experience.
