Agriculture MR. RAYMOND MILLER In this course, the student is given the opportunity to develop his creativeness, whether it be in drawing, painting, or sculpturing. The appreciation of the beauty of art is also an important factor brought into the art curriculum. Business MR. JOSEPH LUBERTINE MRS. ELLEN GRIFFIN A high school vocational agricultural program has the role of providing training for farming and related careers. The instruction to-day is offered to prepare the student for further training, either in school or on the job. Some of the careers which this could lead to are: management, finance, farm mechanization, forestry, conser- vation, and farming. At Poland, we offer only the rudiments of a few of these, but along with all vocational agricultural programs, we are striving to provide a broad base of agricultural education. Arf MR. RICHARD ALLEN The business curriculum offers the student a general knowledge of business through the offerings of bookkeeping, business math, general business, and retailing. The vocational stenographic program's aim is to train students to accept positions in the stenographic field immediately upon gradu- ation from high school.
