I2C PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY The Problems of Democracy class has two objectives: first, to help each student to make the most of his potentialities and to develop an atractive well-rounded personal- ity; second, to afford each member of the class an opportunity for investigation and discussion of the vital issues of our national life. Thus the class combines the aims of service to the individual and to the com- munity. Emphasis is placed upon the im- portance of clear thinking and the neces- sity of guarding against propaganda. Since the theme for the year has been Democ- racy.” every effort has been made to stress the blessings of liberty in a democracy as contrasted with the regimentation in a to- talitarian state. 12C SHORTHAND Perhaps the most important of all com- mercial subjects, shorthand is difficult be- cause it demands great concentration in the work of car, mind, eye and hand simul- taneously. As the Mercury of the business world,” stenography calls for great skill and ac- curacy. For the perfection of skill in the study, the principles must be learned, the phrases carefully combined and the brief forms mastered. After these are conquered, speed is the main objective. Business Eng- lish is integrated into the course to pro- vide well-rounded secretarial skill. Because of its great importance in the business world, this study of shorthand is stressed and proves invaluable to the stu- dent who has completed the course. 12VG ENGLISH The twelfth grade English class is con- centrating on improvements in reading, writ- ing. and speaking by reviewing every phase of grammar, realizing that it is important to speak and write correctly, regardless of one’s occupation. Much time has been spent becoming ac- quainted with biographies of prominent peo- ple in all fields and professions. Reading periods one day a week enable the students to keep abreast of the times with periodicals, newspapers, and modern literature. The last few weeks of school were emploved improv- ing public speaking techniques with emphasis upon slow, clear speaking, good posture, and varied expression. The English class feels that this program has successfully filled some aps that ex- isted in former English curricula. 11C BOOKKEEPING 'I'his year the 11C group is learning the personal, social, and economic values of this study. Throughout the teaching of this sub- ject. emphasis is placed upon fundamental bookkeeping principles. At the same time, the importance of accurate work and the use of desirable business traits is not over- looked. The course began with the explanation of the need for records. The material for the course was organized as follows: Personal Records, Banking Procedure and Business Papers, Business Bookkeeping. Bookkeeping for the Professions, and Income Tax and Vocational Opportunities. 11C has thoroughly learned that the five basic steps in bookkeeping are: Journalizing the transaction, posting the ledger, taking a trial balance, preparing the business state- ments, and adjusting and closing the records.

AMERICAN HISTORY The 11C' History Class has been made as interesting as possible by varying the meth- ods of study. At times, material from texts and references were read and discussions held about the information found there. In this way the subject matter was made thoroughly familiar and any difficult points clearly explained. At other times, each mem- ber of the class was held responsible for certain data which was then given over to general class use. Geographical and polit- ical development of the country, important and interesting places and the reason for their interest, have all been presented to the class in an entertaining manner. The class will tell anyone that it is pos- sible to enjoy history a great deal, if en- thusiasm and interest are applied to the study of our countrv’s past. 10A ENGLISH The stressing of institutions in second year Academic English has been the main object since September. It was decided that by learning to speak effectively, by reading for work and recreation from novels, by writing as a means of communication, by improving family culture with good literature, by in creasing the vocabulary, by organizing ideas with stress on the paragraph, and by study- ing other institutions in relation to these phases of the study of English, that much would be accomplished during 1940-1941. The most successful activity of the year was a project containing a survey of all in- formation gained on the Family which was sent to Mrs. Schneider, County Supervisor, who had worked with the tenth grade on the theme of Institutions. 10B BIOLOGY I'hc 101» Biology Class took for their part of the theme, “Familv Life,” better health. I his was accomplished by studying frogs, fish and other biological specimens and then comparing them with pictures and descrip- tions of the human body. By seeing foods digested in the test tubes, it is easier to understand how it is done in the body. Interesting aliases of the course dealt with the environment of plants and animals, the way they are dependent on each other, and we on them. Some animals formed very interesting partnerships. Pleasure was added to the course by put- ting on a play called ‘‘Old Stuff, depicting prehistoric animals and life. At the end of the course, the class con- cluded that everythin»' in biology led back to Family Life. tbeir theme. 10G ELEMENTARY BUSINESS I he aim of the 10G elementary business class this vear was to give the student a dear understanding ot business functions ♦hat supnly the necessities of life, to make the student realize that business plays an important part in evervone’s life and to pro- vide the student with knowledge of business and consumer skill, that he mav be a bet- ter citizen.
