SOCLXI, PROl3l.lCMS XYould you like to know why you are going to school? Yes. even .Iuniors and Seniors wonder at times. but this problem will be solved when you take Social l'roblems under the instruction of Nliss Bradford or Mr. Swanson. Social Problems prepares you for the times when you are confronted with problems pertain- ing to luunan relations and teaches you to think and reason these problems out for yourself. Miss Bradford takes her students on a tour around our interesting city and they visit var- ious chnrches in our town. Also they enjoy many class parties. lt is a yery different subject, and they make it quite interesting. L'. S. H I STORY Do you know the dates of the Declaration of lndependence, the Revolutionary XVar, or the First VVorld XVar? NVell, if you don't now, you will soon learn. The time will be during your junior or senior year of school. The place will be in one of the history classes taught by Miss Bradford or Mr. lserinann.

l'.Xl,1LlSH Upon entering high school, we resigned our- selves to at least three years of English. which are required. However, in the first year under the in- struction ot' M rs. Robert Saunders, Miss Kathryn Rowley, or Mrs. Scott Shrode, we found that linglish actually proved interesting. Not only did we do our practice sheets diligently and make book reports, but we also studied literature and were captivated by Treasure Island. On becoming a sophomore, directed by Miss Mae Anderson or Mrs. Darroll Chapman, we breathlessly read A Tale of Treo C'ifies by the innnortal Dickens. We were introduced to Shakespe.1re's works in the tragedy Macbeth our junior year under Miss Florence Dahlberg or Miss Anderson. Speeches and vocabulary work also were part of class. At last a senior, perhaps choosing another year of English, we were given our final high school instruction by Miss Dahlberg. ....19..

BOCJKKIQEPING Lfndcr the direction of Mr. Richard Cambridge, the bookkeeping classes learned all the fundamentals of bookkeeping. Both beginning and advanced classes were held. Besides reading in the text book, the bookkeeping students also worked in their work- books and finished some practice sets. Mr. Cambridge is to be thanked for his able direction of these classes. SHORTHAND Room 209 is a room of ambitious people! Here is study at its best. For 209 is the room used for shorthand during the fourth period. Here a group of students gather to increase their knowledge in the field of secretarial work. Typing goes right along with this shorthand course, so most of the students go to the typing room from shorthand. Miss Scott teach es this shorthand and typing class. Much know- ledge is gained here. TYPING This year's typing classes have been under the auspices of two very capable teachers, Miss Esther Scott and Miss Pauline Perry. This year's classes were divided in two waysg the one semester, or personal typing course, and the year course known as commercial typing. Exercises, speed tests, timed writings, and many other typing activities were part of the curriculum. .-.21..
