Char Berg Ben Broberg Yvonne Janning James Larson Loren Waugh Gerhard Wendt Home Ec and Shop: Basic Ingredients of Life In homemaking the area of study for seventh and eighth graders includes elementary nutrition, helps in sewing, and the selection of clothing. The year's work for the ninth grade consists of basic food preparation and social etiquette. For the sophomore or junior girl; meal preparation, a study in textiles, and family rela- tions are the units of concern. All of these help in giv- ing a girl a basic understanding of her future in the home. By working in the various areas of wood, metals, and plastics; industrial arts gives a broad and general knowledge that is essential in everyday life. They could be called exploratory classes because they arouse new interests in the profession of industrial arts. After these courses, many boys specialize in fields such as farm shop, advanced industrial arts courses, mechani- cal drawing, and electronics. With the aid of these classes new interests and hopes for a bright future can be found. AT LEFT: LINDA NELSON IMPROVES her sewing ability in the soph- omore home ec class. 17

World Knowledge Promotes Understanding To better our understanding of man and his world is the main objective of social studies. History gives an understanding of the past, thus gaining insight to the problems of the present, and an idea of what to expect in the future. Social studies in the seventh and the tenth grades provides a background of American histo- ry to every student with world history to be studied in the eleventh grade. World geography in the eighth grade presents a study of regions with similarities in climate, land use, and culture. In the ninth grade, social consists of courses in gen- eral business, Minnesota government, drivers' training, and a look at various occupations. In our senior year, we are confronted with social problems where we study our national government, economics, and sociology. Psychology, an elective course which can be taken only in the senior year, provides a student with the opportunity of learning more about himself, his friends, and society.

The increasing complexities of our way of life, ac- companied by an extended reliance upon science and mathematics, indicate that the well-educated citizen should have a knowledge of the sciences that provide some foundations for much of our progress. As the growth of civilization depends on progress and change brought about by scientific discoveries, it is most im- portant for today's student, as a link in our culture, to acquire a well-rounded background in these fields. Therefore, the purpose of the courses relating to sci- ence and mathematics is to provide the fundamental principles in subjects such as basic mathematics and general science to the more complicated branches of chemistry, physics, algebra, and advanced mathemat- ics. As we now live in the Space Age, it is important that we can apply this subject matter to an increasing num- ber of newly developed occupations in these fields. Not only are science and mathematics important to our future, but are also applicable to our daily lives: with the complexity of society increasing, so must our minds expand to meet the status-quo. 18
