VVe are the boys at Prairie High who will be growing the crops for you in the future. Vocational Agriculture is offered to stu- dents who are definitely interested in the study of farming and have made satisfac- tory arrangements for a farming program which will provide adequate experience in farming. This course is organized on an integrated basis, with the four years of study based on the farming programs of the students and correlated as nearly as possible with the time of the various farm operations. The study of crops, animals, mechanics and economics is spread over the four year period. First year agriculture deals with crops, the second with animals, the third with mechanics and the final with economics. The daily classroom study deals with units such as livestock selection, feeding and man- agement, crop seed selection, held opera- tions, machinery operation maintenance, poultry, meats, conservation, soils, farm re- cords and income tax, cooperatives, weld- ing, electricity and farming success factors. We are a very active group as our class- room study takes us to various farms, the PHS school forest, numerous factories and business places around town.

'lihough it is one ol. the smaller depart- ments at l'rairie lligh, l,atin is considered to be one oi' the most valuable courses in a student's education. This course helps widen our Vocabulary and develop a greater un- derstanding of the lfnglish language. A greater appreciation oi' both l,atin and lfnglish are gained through this study. 30. . .Latin lorene Harrelson with a baffled look watches Delores Stluka translate her latin.
