IN WHAT COURSES ARE YOU INTERESTED Whatever your plans may be for the future, now is the time to formulate a definite program for your four years of high school. If there is a hope in your mind of attending college plans have to be made in your freshman year in high school. However, for those who know that graduation from high school closes their formal educational life a broader course of study is offered. We especially direct the attention of boys and girls who are to enter high school this fall to the special courses of Home Making and Agriculture offered at Onondaga Central School. Home Making is a most practical and worthwhile course open to girls and has as its basic principles the training of young Women to assume in life the position of leadership in the home which is so fundamental in the development of this state and our country. Agriculture courses in New York State schools are aided by the Federal Govern- ment, as all realize agriculture to be one of the basic industries of our nation. In agri- culture courses, boys are given practical suggestions for farming as well as instruction in management and operation of a farm. Field trips to various farms accepted as well managed, field trips to sales and auctions for experience, as well as extended trips to the Agriculture College at Cornell are undertaken each year. ' ANNOUNCEMENTS The State Fair will be held this year while school is in session. Tickets for the fari will be given out to pupils after they have returned to school on Wednesday, September 8. We hope parents will plan to take school children to the fair on Friday, September 10, so that school attendance may be maintained. Your ticket will admit you for only one day. Be sure to attend the fair, however, and make use of the educa- tional opportunities which are present there. Due to a teachers' conference, Onondaga Central School will be closed Friday, September 10, and we ask parents to cooperate with the school in using this day to attend the fair. Home Room lists will be posted the first day of school. Be sure you are in the right Home Room. In constructing the schedule of classes we attempt to build a schedule which will benefit the greatest number of pupils. Pupils who have attended Onondaga Central School these past two years know we welcome your return. If you are entering for the first time this year, please realize we hope that you will enjoy the school hours spent here and find pleasure and profit for yourself as well as satisfaction for us. Sincerely, M. A. HELFER, Supervising Principal -24- ' jails and prisons are the complement of schools, so many less as you have of the latter, so many more you musl have of the f07m6f.,,-HORACE MANN '
