While learning to take dictation, shorthand students are ex- posed to varying office situations, which serve as guides for them in choosing a career. Bookkeeping, general office practice, and typing office practice are also offered to the business minded. Many students elect notetaking, a simplified form of shorthand, and typing in preparation for college work. Contracts, insurance, wills, sales, and other im- portant legal matters are covered in a semester course of business law. To provide work experience, the dis- tributive education program correlates two hours of classroom study with an outside job for each student.

“Don ' t be afraid. It could only explode,” jokingly warns Miss Delores Hulse as she in- spects the apparatus of an amateur Einstein, about to produce hydrogen gas, while members of the class watch. JACK MILLER History Chem-Study Complements Science Courses In the present age of science and space the MHS sci- ence departme nt has assumed the task of acquainting its students with the wonderful world around them and the physical laws that govern their lives. In addition to the three lab courses — biology, chem- istry, and physics — a general science program is of- fered. Newest addition to the curricula is chem-study, a highly concentrative chemistry class, conducted by Mr. Paul Holm. To meet the demands of increased enrollment, two new science teachers, Mr. George Dodd and Mr. Har- vard Schmidt, joined the faculty, and a classroom was converted to an additional biology lab.

Designed to reach all students, the courses include basic math, Algebra I and II, plane and solid geome- try’, analytic geometry, college algebra, trigonometry, and modern topics. All of the above are combined in an accelerated three-year honor program for outstand- ing math students. An additional honors class for jun- iors and another for seniors were formed by Mr. George Henderson. To handle the increasing number of students, MHS added three math teachers to its faculty.
