The equipment includes a beau- tiful blue enamel range, maple tables and cabinets, individual electric plates, sink, supply table, dining table, buffet, dining chairs, and smaller equipment as advocated by Smith-Hughes. The course is taught by meal-serving and laboratory demonstration, each girl rotating through the duties of hostess to those of waitress. Five students of the group plan to major in this branch of work in higher institutions. Mrs. Vernon also teaches English IV and the Physiological Sciences, and has charge of the work in Journalism and Girls' Athletics. FRENCH The two years' course in French has claimed the attention of sixteen stu- dents throughout the year. By their zeal, determination and interest one would judge that they have found cette belle langue a pleasure, indeed. They have mastered the technique of the language, together with a vocabu- lary and accent that are really creditable. Miss Sherman is the teacher of the French courses, together with the first three years of English. and as a climax her students gave a program ranging from a vocal rendition of The Marseillaisen to a pretty little French play. HISTORY AND LATIN Miss Garrett has charge of the work in History and Latin this year, and the pupils have made steady gains in these departments. Although Latin is now an elective, it has held a good percentage of the pupils. The History classes have also held Monday Rhetoricalsf' which have been one of their most popular features. Miss Garrett also directs the H. S. chorus and Glee club. MATHEMATICS .. Educators have agreed that the average high school student will be greatly incapacitated unless his mathematical career has been thorough and complete. Perhaps it is with this thought in mind that Mr. Vernon has kept the Math. students digging away as if for existence. The advanced classes included almost all of the boys of the upper classes, since they are required subjects in the varied fields of engineering, medicine, etc. Competition in Algebra III ran highest of any class in school.

S. curriculum now includes Agriculture, Domestic Science, His- tory. Mathematics, English, French, Latin, Economics, journalism, Natural and Physical Sciences and Physical Training. The first two departments have been added and standardized this year. AGRICULTURE Agriculture is taught according to the Smith-Hughes plan and includes two years' work in farm crops, accounting, and farm management. The project work of the year has been especially profitable to neighboring farms, orchards and gardens, while the field trips were the envy of the whole school Cexcept the hog sale expeditionj. The class has eighty minutes per day in the class room and laboratory under Mr. Judon's supervision, with outside proj- ect work as advocated by Smith-Hughes law. Une of the pleasant features of the year was furnished by the Ag Club aggregations, and the scientific accuracy of the officials of these meetings has really become alarming. As yet they have admitted no girls, even to the social hour. Mr. Judson is also the efficient instructor in Science, and coaches athletics. DOMESTIC SCIENCE The department of Home Economics might have enrolled all of the forty-six boys on registration day had it not been that the laboratory was only equipped for twenty girls. Mrs. Vernon has charge of the work, so you know why the class is the most interesting in the whole curriculum. The clothing unit occupied eight periods per week, and the sewing laboratory was equipped with sewing tables, Singer machines, fitting forms, electric irons, and charts, as demanded by Smith-Hughes law. After the girls had learned to wear thimbles they progressed rapidly and covered a unit of work in pattern-drafting, decorative work, garment construetion, and wash dress projects, not omitting the' inevitable darning and patching problems. The work in Home Management was condensed and correlated with the Clothing and Food units, and the various homes were furnished with all equipment from an iceless ice machine to a paring knife. This work was both new and interesting, but the food work received the almost unanimous vote of the class as to interest and practical worth.
