And The Things They Learned Six curricula are offered to students in high school: College Entrance, Commer- cial, Industrial, Home Economics, Agricul- tural, and General. These various curri- cula allow the student a certain freedom, and at the same time insure that he does not choose subjects aimlessly but concen- trates in a few fields. As a general background for gradua- tion every student of Peru High School is required to have three years of English, one year of science, one year of mathe- matics, one year of United States history, one year of United States government, one semester of health, and two years of physical education. The minimum of cred- its needed for graduation is thirty-two. Our school life is made more pleasant by the various electives afforded us. For those interested in commercial work the electives include shorthand, typing, book- keeping, junior business, commercial law, and salesmanship. Foreign lan- guages offered are two years of Latin and PRACTICAL ARTS. ln the well-equipped kitchen of our new building, Mary Millican, Mayda Reyburn, Betty Whisler, and Betty Quince pre- pare dainty tea sandwiches under the supervision of Miss Tereba. They studied calories, vitamins, etc., in order to plan Well-balanced menus, can- ning instruction wasgiven in the fall of the year, and at Christmas time the fragrance of cook- two of French. For the mathematically minded there are algebra l, ll, and lll, general math, plane geometry, solid geo- metry, and senior math. ln our industrial department are provisions for varied metal and woodwork projects. Many boys find pleasure in our new well-equipped print shop. Students with the scientific mind can delve into the mysteries of chemistry and physics. ln the English de- partment two new elective courses were added this year. They were: journalism and a senior English course in creative writing and short stories. All home econ- omic subjects can be used as electives on other curricula. Throughout our school year We enjoy many enlightening speeches by well- known speakers who talk on topics refer- ring to our curricular activities. Our school aims to train its graduates for life, it does not try to produce book- worms but well-informed, well-balanced Americans. INDIVIDUALIZED TEACHING. Under the guid- ance of Herschel Rector, lack Moon and Bob For- tune are working at the band saw, a machine used to cut curved surfaces. We have only to visit the woodwork shop on exhibit night to see how popular this subject is with the high school boys. We come away impressed by the finished perfection of the articles on ies and candies waited through the halls. ' 8 ' display. E
