The purpose of the Red Cross Home Nursing course is to strengthen the resourcefulness of students in matter of health, and to help them in caring for members of their family under normal conditions, as well as in illness and emergency. The school edition of the Red Cross Home Nursing text book has been adapted from the material in the adult edition to meet the needs of boys and girls of school age. For many of these young people, the high school period is the only time they will have in which to receive health instruction for family life. The Red Cross Home Nursing course is conducted by Mrs. Louise Duncan. The class meets twice a week. All those who successfully complete the course outlined by the Red Cross will be given a certificate.

The Aero Club, consisting of eighteen members, was organized under the direction of Mr. Henderson. Meetings were held during the sixth period every Tuesday and Thursday. The members were divided into six separate groups, each group studying some particular phase of aviation. The six major divisions were Principles of Airplane Structure, Aerodynamics, Aircraft Engines, Meteorology, Communications, and Air Navigation. Charts and text books were obtained for studying the various subjects. As supplements, the school subscribed to a number of worth-while magazines pertaining to aeronautical advancement. At the end of the first semester, the club was discontinued.
