THE CURRICULUM There are eight courses offered in North Platte High School, six of which lead to graduation. The College Preparatory courses are as follows: Classical, General, Engineering, and Normal Training. The other courses leading to graduation, other than College Preparatory are the following: Stenographic, Bookkeeping and Accounting, Home Economics, and In- dustrial Arts. These courses do not lead to graduation: Home Arts and Trades. These constants are required in all courses: English I, II, III, IV, V, VI; Physical Training I, II, IV; World History I, II; and American History I, II. In the twelfth grade, English VII is re- quired unless the students show proficiency in a standard test given at the close of English VI. The College Preparatory General Course requires Algebra I, II, Plane Geometry, Algebra III, IV, General Science, Civics, choice of a science, Ad- vanced Civics, Economics, American Literature, and a language. The student many choose to take two years of mathematics and two of language, or three years of one and one of the other. In the classical course, requirements are same only for the language. Latin VII and VIII are necessary. Engineering is identical except that solid geometry and trigonometry are required. In Normal Training, Agriculture, Rural Sociology, Biology, Reviews, Pro- fessional Training, and Public School Music are the requirements for gradua- tion. Civics, Vocations, Algebra or Home Arts, General Science, Business Train- ing, Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Geography, Public Speaking, Com- mercial Law, Commercial English, Advanced Civics, Economies, Salesmanship, four semesters of typing, and four semesters of Shorthand are the require- ments for the Stenographic course. The Bookkeeping course is practically the same with an exception of Shorthand, and the addition of Bookkeeping. In the Home Economics course, the course of study is also much the same. Civics, General Science, Dramatics, Economics, Public Speaking, Advanced Civics, and Home Arts I, II, III, IV, V. VI. The Industrial Arts course requires Civics, Vocations, General Science, Agriculture, Commercial Geography, Manual Arts I, II, III, IV, Commercial Arithmetic, Mechanical Drawing, Economics, Auto Mechanics, and Civics. The short courses Home Arts and Trades, need only three years of High School and do not lead to graduation. The outline of study takes in two years of Home Arts of Manual Arts, Vocations, Civics, General Science, Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Geography, English Reviews, Apprentice-ship, and Electives. The North Platte High School is a class A High School, fully accredited to the University of Nebraska and in the North Central Association of Colleges and High Schools. The graduates of this high school, when certified by the principal are admitted without examination to full standing in practically all institutions of higher learning in Nebraska and the Middle West. College Preparatory Courses are arranged to meet requirements of all colleges in Nebraska, a nd most colleges in the United States. In order to graduate, a student must meet the requirements of the course chosen and have a total of thirty-two credits. The normal load to be carried by a student is four solids, and Physical Training when required. In addition, the student may elect Band, Orchestra, Glee club or any other of the listed Electives. Experience shows clearly that it is unwise for a student to carry less than, or more than a normal load. Special permission must be obtained from the principal in case a student desires to do either of these. —15—
