To help solve this problem our school offers a number of 'commercial' subjects. These subjects are of two types--skill and social. In the skill section we offer two years each of typing and shorthand. Bookkeeping is offered in alternate years. These are purely vocational and their purpose is to fit students for an economic positior or,as a 'try out ,to find if the student is fitted to continue in the business world. A reasonable amount of ability in academic subjects is required before one can be a success :Ln any of these subjects. The social business subjects we offer are commercial law and business organization. These give one a picture of business as a whole and how each person fits into his own place :Ln our economic system. HISTOW A One of thasurest ways d' understanding the present :Ls by rmderstanding the past. Ile have only to view the situation in EIIIOPG at the present time to appreciate this fact. The aims of the history courses have been to provide the students with a working knowledge of man's actions in tlepast in relation to man's actions in the present. History affects all of us more directly than just togive us an understanding ct politics and world affairs. It forms a background for our entire quest for knowledge, and in this way makes it possible for us to live a fuller and more enjoyable life. ' sous ECONOMICS Since September the Home Economics Depart- ment has been developed from two half-painted bare rooms to a gay well-equipped laboratory adjoined by a cozy living room. The twenty-six girls enrolled in the classes, as part of their unit on 'The Home , enameled and stained the furniture and appli- queed pots of tulips upon the bleached muslin curtains. The next unit of work resulted hge? smocks for the girls to wear in the Foods Classes. The- advanced group then took up 'Child Care , which was terminated by a lunch- eon served to the First Graders. 'Foods' chases followed concentrating upon breakfasts, lunchgms, and dinners. These units were completed with a Spring Tea for the girls' mothers and a dinner for the Board members and their wives. The year was ended with a 'Spring Dress' unit and a short study of the 'Girl and Her Personal:lty . INDUSTRIAL ARTS Two courses were this year.

Literature and Latin can modestly claim a part of 'that acquaintance.

IATHIIATICS , The mathematics courses being offered are algebra and geometry. The first year course in algebra is required, while geometry is an elective. Both courses deal with the use of formulas. Engineers, mechanics, nurses, accountants, druggists, doctors, and electricians need a knowledge of formulas in their professions. Accuracy in skills and clear thinking are use- ful in every vocation. Every day we use either the analytical or synthetic reasoning studied :Ln mathematics. SCIENCE 'Students in high school are expected to solve problems, think, and grow, not merely verify, draw, answer, pass, and get credit. Science is a vocatiax. In this modern world it is the scientist who builds our bridges, lights our homes, furnishes us with automobiles, in short, regulates most of our waking activities, and :lf we do not pursue science to the extent of making a phase of it a vocatim, we at least need a sound founda- tion :Ln science in order to successfully oper- ate the thousands of gadgets we use in our everyday life. In our laboratories we also attempt to point the way to a more wholesome use of lei- sure. We have four or five hours of every one of our days for leisure-time activities. With s knowledge of and an interest in science these need not be idle, wasted hours. The following courses were offered this year: pkqsics, senior science, general science, and biology. le have appreciated the opportu- nity to work in a well- equipped laboratory. The useful side of science has been stressed both in laboratory planning, and :ln numerous field trips,espec:lally by the biology class. Jaw! Senior Society- On September 24, 1937, everyone enjoyed a party sponsored by the senior class. The party was given to arouse school spirit. Dancing and various games entertained us. When the cider and doughnuts were no more, the party was brought to a close by group-singing. The seniors presented three one-act plays this fall instead of the usual three-act play. The finished productions, The Dummy , 'Safety- Pins First , and 'The Pampered Darling , and a short skit, The Gonsarn'd Pig , were submitted to the public on November 3 and I., 1937. While looking over the cast, one notices that all of the seniors were represented. The seniors presented the play, 'The Rustic Roneo', on lax-dx 30 and April 1, 1933. The pleyproved tobeahugesuccess sinceitwu unlike our usual plays,and everyone enjoyed the singing parts. The Rustic Romeo' is an old play, but memynotice thattheolderplays are being produced and filmed with greater success than the new plays. Reverend Howard F. Gebhart of the First Presbyterian Church, llaumee, Ohio, delivered the Baccalaureate SBTIIIOD, W 22, DY. Ray Wood, Division of Scholarship, Department of Education, addressed the class, lay 26, 1938. Commencement week bids the seniors farewell to lonclova. ' Junior Events- On November 23, 1931 a dence was sponsored by the junior class in the school gmnasium. The inspiring ardenchanting music was furnished by 'The Sunshine Five. The crowd enjoyed both round and square dancing 7 and from the looks of things the student body needs a few lessons in square dancing. Or do you suppose they were too sm' to display their knowledge of the art? The junior class entertained the members of the senior class on the evening of llay ll.. Their guests entered the Um, which was decorated to represent a ship,by the gangplank. A captain and his shipmates greeted them. The sea atmosphere was accomplished by the use of flags, life boats Qmske -believej, and life preservers. Deck chairs were scattered a- round the room. Sounds of low, vibrating fog horns greatly :Increased the nautical atmos- phere. Stewards and stewardesses, members chosen from the sophomore class, were dressed in white slacks. A novel sea atmosphere, an efficiently served meal, and the well planned program, all combined to make it this year's outstanding event. Sophomore-ieties- The sophomore class held a weiner roast on October 2, 1937, with the llaumee River in the background. The roast was held in the Fort Meigs Shelter House. The class enjoyed their roast, there was plenty of food and the fun was increased by the presence of llisses Hall and Woman and Messrs. Warnock and Schaller. A new event in llonclova history occurred when the Tri-School Plays were presented. Whitehouse, Waterville, and lonclova gave Father Plans the Wedd:lng , 'Dinner for Six' and A llad Breakfast , respectively. These one- act comedies were given to large audiences at llonclova on April 20, Whitehouse, April 21, and Waterville, April 22, The sophomore class was chosen to cast and to represent lonclova in this meet. This was the first time that such a coop- erative plan was tried.
