Coordinates Learning, Job Experience Making final adjustments on an exhibit, Mrs. Gehring illustrates a method of arranging appealing displays to D. E. students Linda Johnson and Cyndi La Mar. Typing, shorthand, and regular office courses provided vocational training and modem business education for MHS pupils. Tape recorders and record players were used for additional dictation practice. Use of this method, al- lowed the student to attain speed in oral transcription at his own rate. Notetaking, a simplified form of shorthand, provided a valuable way of taking notes for college bound students. Pupils could avail themselves of the thermo-fax and mimeo- graph machines in general office procedure courses. An electric typewriter, one which simulated a key punch board, provided an opportunity for those who desired practice on newer types of machines. Distributive Education combined classroom work with on the job observation. Two hours of class time a day were spent in the practice of bookkeeping and related subjects. During the week, students took positions in various training stations throughout the community. Thus the relationship between school study and actual business situations could readily be seen. With the aid of the newly purchased Xerox machine, the Registrar was capable of processing school records and transcripts more rapidly. The device reproduced copies which would have been handwritten. 24

Through Comprehensive Study and Practice Daily physical as well as mental exercise was em- phasized this year at MHS. One period a day was devoted to the student’s physical well-being. Both team and individual sports filled the program, with one unit of swimming and one of classroom work re- quired of all three grades. Rules of the road, taught in the sophomore safety classes, prepared students for driver’s training. This course was available to all students near their sixteenth birthday. Juniors and seniors received health and first aid instruction, respectively. The girls’ honors gym class, begun last year as an experiment, became adopted as a permanent part of the curriculum for twelfth graders. With the success of this group, the department initiated another pro- gram to serve girls on a variety of skill levels through special classes. Home economics classes worked toward training girls in the art of running a home efficiently. Students in Clothing studied wardrobe planning, sewing, and tailoring. In Foods emphasis was given to the organi- zation of attractive as well as nutritious meals. Ex- perience in food preservation and deep fat frying also formed a part of the class. Family Living, a course designed to give knowledge in home decoration and child care, provided aid in money management and consumer buying.
