Twenty-seven vocational courses are offered, ranging from drafting and mechanical drawing to welding and auto mechanics. Two ex- pensive antennae were purchased for testing radio and TV transmitters in electronics classes. A needed improvement last fall was the installation of exhaust systems in the wood and auto shops to dispel sawdust and gas fumes. Home economics teachers endeavor to acquaint their girls with skills and techniques essential to homemaking and family care. Four semester courses of food and nutrition teach prospective housewives to cook and plan well balanced meals. Miss Lorette Johnson, new to MHS, taught the three- year range of clothing courses, lending valuable sewing eperience to her pupils. In family living, seniors study home furnishings, house manage- ment, budgeting, consumer buying, and hand crafts. A second course deals with family relationships, dating and marriage, and child development. Creativeness, originality, and beauty are qualities art instructors strive to develop in their pupils through pottery, crafts, painting, sculpture, and other media included in varied art courses. A “buddy system” was innovated, in which three instructors rotate between two general courses, allowing each teacher to teach his strongest medium and a chance to become acquainted with all beginning art students. Similar courses of art appreciation and music appreciation are offered, in which the main objective is learning to enjoy cultural pursuits through ob- servation and listening. Music students have the opportunity of playing in the school band or orchestra or singing with one of MHS’s seven choral groups. Shops Purchase New Exhausts, Antennae; Dave Parkhurst watches and listens intently as Mr. Warren Leonard demonstrates the oscilloscope, one of the many fascinating devices used in electronics. MHS shop courses boast the very latest in educational equipment. RAY BRASSMER Industrial Arts LOUIS DilULIO Supervisor Band ROBERT EDWARDS CYRUS GALLEY Woodworking Drafting 20

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.
