In the curriculum of Monroe High there were six required subjects. One of these was American problems, taught by Mr. Barnard; in these classes students could be found reading their Scholastics and discussing the present-day affairs. Miss Fletty's course for the study of the world from ancient times through the World War was a sophomore requirement. Across the hall Miss Jones led her junior pupils through the study of United States history.Junior English classes, reading American literature, had as instructors Miss Farnsworth and Miss Haugen.Seniors wishing to earn a final high school English credit studied English literature In Miss Haugen's classes.

ERICKSON Algebra Physics JEANNETTE ANDERSON Bookkeeping Geography Many interesting and varied subjects were included in the elective classes.Among these were Miss Spencer's general math for the practical-minded, plane and solid geometry and advanced algebra for those interested in engineering. Mr. Erickson was the algebra instructor who watched x's and y's instead of p's and q's. Miss Norton's typing classes were always filled, and her shorthand classes appealed to the girls. Bookkeeping and geography taught by Miss Anderson were attended by seniors and sophomores, respectively. Latin and Deutsch were the two foreign language classes in which Miss Damon was interpreter-in-chief. Each pupil had a choice of taking either physics or chemistry. Moving into the new laboratory was the event of the year for students of these courses and for Mr. Preston and Mr. Erickson. HELEN E. SPENCER Mathematics Orchestra PATRICIA DAMON Latin German JOHN C.

Miss Schumacher inherited the Lincoln gym but helped to change things by having the girls purchase new brown shorts and yellow shirts. Classes in manual arts,taught by Mr.Calder and Mr.Holyoke, used their wookwork knowledge in making bookcases,desks,and other furniture.Preparing and serving a complete meal was an accomplishment of the food classes taught by Miss Steinke. Wearing dresses they had made in class was the big achievement of Miss Herwig's sewing pupils. Do-mi-sol-dos were sung in the boys' and girls1 glee clubs and Mixed Chorus with Miss Nommensen as director. Miss Klein, the school nurse, making daily visits to this building to check on absentees,tried so hard to keep us all healthy that she had to go to the hospital for rest the latter part of the year.
