Many Students Enroll in College Prep Courses This year Morenci High School of- fered three different courses in the college preparatory field. Enrolled in these courses were the students con- sidering higher education in a college or university. These particular courses were especially designed to prepare students for College Entrance Board Examinations and stiff college courses. The emphasis was on mathematics and science in the scientific course while the foreign languages of French and Spanish were stressed in the liberal arts course. The college course was designed for those students who were interested in entering a college where entrance is not based on competition. In this course, elective subjects such as woodshop, metalshop, art, and busi- ness were provided. Each of these courses trained the student in se rious thought and cultivated regular and independent study habits. These will all prove helpful in higher institutions. Shirley BELOW: Study hall was an essential element in completing lessons as Sharon Glassgow, Hawkins, Robert Bradford, Sandra Duncan, and Sherry Andrews indicate. 20
