Great interest has centered around the correspondence carried on with students study- ing English in foreign countries. Through these letters the students come to know the country better. Many stories relating to life and customs have been read and several legends dramatized. There were 77 students in these classes the past year. The Latin department, under Miss Stella Mad- dox, head ofthe department and Miss Dorothy Dorward, instructor, has for its aim a larger ap- preciation of the ancient Romans and the classics by the knowledge gained in the direct contact of the student with the Latin languauge. In addition to the regular four-year course there is also an elective course for the sub-freshman in the study of which the student realizes the very close rela- tion between Latin and English language. The Latin club, too, is a means for the further study of mythology, life and customs and literature of the,Roman people. About 250 students were en- rolled in this department last year. Penmanship and spelling, taught by Miss Agnes Rooney, had an enrollment of nearly 100 during the year. Practical penmanship and regu- lar spelling classes featured this work during the year. VOCATIONAL COURSES Vocational instruction in Okmulgee High school really began in 1919, although for several years prior to that time manual training and home eco- nomics had been taught in the regular work. Work on the construction of the new Vocation- alH1gh School was begun in 1919 and vocational instruction under the government aid plan, through the Smith-Hughes act, was inaugurated by the in- stallation of the department of printing, jour- nalism, advertising and electrical work. .These were carried on in temporary during the first year and at the same time manual arts department was enlarged to include an number of useful trades, home nursing was in- stalled, the commercial courses brough ' 'o contact with vocational work and the florlculture, vocational science automotive department was qu nd t int artersj a were of- taking trade Manual general building try, cement working, cabinet making, arts and crafts, cooking, sewing, millinery, home nurs- ing, electricity and wireless telegraphy, printing, journalism, advertising, shorthand, typewriting, banking, automobile mechanics, science, geology and floriculture. The aim in vocational work is two-fold. First, real trade and professional work, as nearly the actual trade work as possible in laboratory courses and, second, vocational work as an aid to general education, as in the finding and broadening courses and in the one and two hour daily classes in the different fields. As carried on in Okmulgee schools the trade and professional work does not interfere with or de- OKMULGEE HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK O H S ALADILMICPRIY14 WINNERS Left to rlght IlNl6 Wh11l1r 111111 M'1e A1kley I11hn Qt1w1rt Norma lI11w1ll lunneth Blal11ly V 11111 l11tt 1111 Stoner 1 harlee.

The courses offered in our schools include, electricity, printing, journalism, carpentry, cement working, furniture making, drafting, automobile mechanics, science, shorthand, typewriting,.bank- ing, general business, advertising, floriculture, cooking, sewing, millinery, arts and crafts, interior decorating, citizenship, mathematics, wireless telegraphy, public speaking, debate and others. Dr. Strayer, one of the foremost educators of the world today, said: If I were sure that my boy was to be a lawyer, I should very much want that he should take some work in carpentry, a little work in automotive repairing, some work in commercial department, etc., in order that he might have an understanding of and a sympathy with people who work in these fields. One splendid feature of the finding and broadening courses is the fact that no additional equipment is needed to offer them. The equipment used in the regular vocational courses can be used, bringing In the home nursing department. the little fellows into contact with the shop conditions of the upper classmen and the character of work they are doing. This atmosphere in itself serves as a stimulant to the younger pupils to enter and do the work of the upper classes when their time arrives and in the end they are better fitted to take up this work. The finding and broadening courses require but a single period of the day of the seventh and eighth grade pupil and during these two years he may secure a basic knowledge of no less than eight different trades and professions concurrently with his regular school work and without detracting from the latter in the least. SUPERVISION IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Trained and sympathetic leadership is an absolute essential to any kind of successful work. The seventy-three teachers in the grade schools have been fortunate in this respect. In guiding and directing all work in every department, Miss Leta Brooks, Grade Supervisor, has shown the effects L . gf. '..if,g'- Where girls learn to cook. Making their own dresses.
