Special Subjects These students are taking one of the various classes in art offered in NHS. The art curricu- lum consists of beginning art, crafts, commercial art or advertising, and fine arts. Art students also help keep the bulletin board in the main hall decorated with signs of the season or news of coming dances. This class in vocational agriculture, taught by Mr. Morris Weekly, combines with other courses in the vocational division to give us first hand in- formation about our world of farming and industry. These classes are also a valuable help in preparing students for future responsibility. Senior history combines government and sociology into a two semester course. During the first semester these students are taught government on a national, state, and local basis. They then turn to the study of the social ])roblems of our country and the world. Twenty-Six
