In preparation for the achievement of their goals, the administration made available numerous courses . The proper selec- tion of these courses was very vital, in view of the fact that the students who leave these halls must be equipped with the knowledge that will better enable them to attain their goals.

Vocations were empha- sized last year at Pioneer with the installation of new and modern equipment. Shop involved two new factors--drafting and power and transportation, which added more ad- equately to the department. Students excelled in their talents in the fine arts department. Through the expres sion of one's talents, his individual personality was revealed. Although some subjects at the time do not seem to instill the common knowl- edge useful in everyday life, they taught the stu- dents to think. After grad- uation the students will be- hold a horizon of an ever- changing world in which they will need to use logical thinking.

preparation for college Pioneer's language de- partment was extremely successful last year in teaching the students the basic fundamentals of Eng- lish, Latin, and Spanish. In English, word usage and sentence construction were combined to develop each student's writing ability. Combining English knowl- edge with new word forms, Latin and Spanish students found their new language easy to understand and mas- ter. The language students will realize in future years that their efforts in learn- ing a new and different language have paid off.
