This ranch has afforded her many pleasant weeks of interesting relaxation. Miss Wilchek also received her master's degree last summer.

Summer Programs During the three months of summer vacation many fac- ulty members engage in varied activities . Some work to supplement their income, some go to school, while others take this opportunity to travel. Among the travelers were Mr. Burton Chandler, who spent last summer in Mexico, and Mr. C. N. Stevenson, who visited the west coast as he has done for several sum- mers. Mr. Maurice Fowler and Mr. Rex Lantz also were concerned with traveling but in a different way as they worked as tollgate attendants for the Ohio Turnpike from Me morial Day until Labor Day. Mr. Howard Hershey sold automobiles and gave private lessons in driver training but took some time out to enjoy fishing. He is working on his master's degree.

Core Academic courses including English, mathematics, science, social studies, and languages traditionally have been the core of schooling at Norwa k. The curriculum not only prepares students for college but for every day life. Thirty-six per cent of last year's grad- uating class are now in college, whi e sixty-four per cent have put their lmowledge to the practical test. This year thirty-five seniors lplan to attend college, while fifty- five wil enter the business world. Superior grades become important in ob- taining scholarships. For many students a scholarship decides whether he may attend college. Since college entrance require- ments are becoming more strict, teachers stressed academic subjects more strongly in high school. In most colleges, English comprehension tests are given to fres men. Norwalk pupils were required to take two years of English in junior high and three in senior high, with a fourth year advisable, but optional. Seven different mathematics courses were offered. Seventh graders took general mathematics, while freshmen chose be- tween general mathematics and algebra. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors selected algebra, plane geometry, advanced algebra, trigonometry or solid geometry. Spanish and Latin were available to all students. Eighth graders studied American history and Ohio government. Sophomores and jun- iors learned about world and American his- toryg seniors, about American government. In science, a field of much current con- sideration, Norwalk High offered physics, chemistry, and biology to upperclassmen, while seventh and ninth grade pupils were required to take general science. IN MR. C. N. STEVENSON'S American histroy class, Mike Rice and Chuck Fadley wisely use their time to study terms.
