SHOP The shop class has as its teachers. Mr. McClung and Mr. Oass. The boys in this class fill their periods by making articles such as: tables, lamps, stoo's, and book-ends, which are useful in the home. Many different materials are used in the construction of these articles. The members of the shop classes find that they can beguile many of their leisure moments by following the in- structions of Mr. McClung and Mr. Oass. putting their knowledge to prac- tical use. One group of boys is making the li- brary in the grammar school, while the counter in the principal's office is also the result of the boys' handiwork. VOCATIONAL HOME ECONOMICS This home economics class is an un- usual one in many respects. Three years are required to complete the cours?. These three years prepare one for such vocations as dressmaking, child care, home-nursing, cooking, waitress and several others. The home economics class is mainly for those girls not wish- ing to go to college and yet want prep aration for a practical vocation. It is necessary to have the three years of study to graduate with a vocational diploma. TYPING Every morning, on the stroke of nine, begins the cheerful tap-tapping which, decoded, means Efficient Secretaries. This class aims high in achieving ac- curacy. speed, neatness, skill in operat- ing, dependability and all the other traits which they hope will lead to a successful place in the business world. THE BANK One of the most helpful and unusual activities of our school is our Bank. It is operated entirely by a group of ca- pable seniors, supervised by a commer cial teacher. The bank is for the use of both stu- dents and teachers and serves as a branch of one of the local banks. It has a Board of Directors, sells stock, accepts both checking and savings accounts, and pays both interest on savings and dividends on stock. [24]

ENGLISH Sophomore English under the guid- ance of Mr. Williams prospers as the year develops. Their lessons include chiefly writing compositions and themes and reading. They also dramatize dif- ferent plays, some of which are given before assemblies. Their presentation of '‘Everyman” at the Christmas as- sembly was one of the most delightful of the year's programs. Grammar is an important project of this English class. The pupils learn some item in grammar, after which they make use of it in their writing. This gives the pupils the correct use of the language as a whole. AMERICAN HISTORY Our present social trends, our ideals, and our political institutions are the products of a long development. Amer- ica in the Making” is truly a thrilling topic for study. The American history students learn the background of our present Ameri- can civilization and gain an understand- ing of both its weaknesses and its strengths. They, as American citizens, learn of our past that they may build more wisely for the future. BOOKKEEPING The one year course in bookkeeping at Richard Montgomery High School is taught with the idea of giving the stu- dents knowledge of the best ways to keep records that they need, such as: check stubs, budgets, household ac- counts, and an elementary set of books. It is not taught with the idea of mak- ing bookkeepers out of the students, but with the idea of giving to them infor- mation that they can use in their own record keeping. PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY It is never possible for anyone to know everything that is taking place in the world today. But it is possible for one to have some knowledge of many things. That is the reason for a Prob- lems of Democracy class—to enable the students to have an idea of the current events of the day. This course is not compulsory, but it is most practical in that it teaches a student to gaze with unbiased eyes upon the world of today. One of the chief objectives of the course is to have pupils form atti- tudes, ideals and habits of thinking that will cause them to be open minded, critical in their thinking, and tolerant of the views of others.
