The normal training class is composed of those juniors, seniors, and postgradu- ates who wish to prepare themselves for the teaching profession. The class of 1935-6 is composed of seven juniors, ten seniors, and two postgraduates. Two classes of work are taught, t'reviews and pedagogy or teaching methods. One year the reviews class composed of both juniors and seniors takes arith- metic geography book-keeping, and drawing: every other year reading, grammar, penmanship, and spelling. Thus these two yearsl work alternate. These classes are more than reviews, containing methods of teaching as well as review. Pedagogy is a full year senior course dealing with teaching problems and methods. It considers such problems as lesson planning, teaching the child how to study, child psychology, and character education. One week of 'Tractice what you preach work is j spent in a rural school during which each senior nor- mal trainer teaches about ten classes under the regular teacher's supervision. As the normal trainer receives her teaching certif- icate, she will have a well rounded knowledge of her work being required to pass state examinations in seventeen subjects as well as two full years of inten- , sive preparation.

tc. H. GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves, comprising only the girls of the three upper classes, are in their sixth year with a membership of forty-one. The crew is made up of Betty Keller, President: Frances Has- tings, Vice-President: Ardis f Price, Secretary: Virginia Mc- l Bmw J, WOODS Grath, Treasurer: Mabel Stry- MMM B- WALTERS ker, Librarian: Miss Woods and Mrs. Walters, faculty advisers: and Mrs. H. O. Bixler and Miss Margaret Jack- man, workshop leaders. The social calendar for the year began with the annual All High School Girls' Tea, in which the ship was used as the theme. A Vesper Recognition Service was held on a Sunday in October. Other social events were a Christmas Carolling P ' ' ' ' arty, a St. Patrlck s tea for the mothers: an Easter program in the assembly: and the traditional May Breakfast for the seniors. To balance their budget, the Girl R 'V ' eserves sponsored a Community Stunt Nlght. When a girl joins the Girl Reserves she becomes a part of the reserve force of the world-wide Young Women's Christian Association. The three sides of the triangle represent the developing personality of the girl in body, mind, and spirit, and the circumscribed circle symbolizes the girl's world. As she develops and improves herself in body, mind, and spirit, the triangle of her personality grows and causes the circle, her world, to expand. just as the Hknights in the days of old saw a vision of the Holy Grail and fol- lowed the gleam, Girl Reserves today have a vision of service and enter upon their quest Hto find and give the best.
