Roosevelt High School - Sagamore Yearbook (Minneapolis, MN)

HE records in the oH:1ce of a high school tell many interesting tales to any one who cares to study them. The records in our own office show that four hundred five boys and four hundred fifty-eight girls are pursuing the Academic Course, fifty-five boys and four hundred twelve girls are taking the Commer- cial Courseg and one hundred three girls are studying Industrial Arts. When one analyzes these figures, one finds that almost half of our students are taking the Academic Course. This means that a very large percentage either are preparing for college or are simply inter- ested in a general secondary education. The enrollment in the Commercial Department indicates very clearly that few boys prepare themselves for office work, while many of our girls are preparing themselves for this kind of Work. The enrollment in the Boys' Industrial Course shows that almost fifty per cent of our boys are interested in vocational training and are, therefore, taking advantage of the prevocational training offered by our high school. The small enrollment in the Girls' Industrial Arts Course proves conclusively that the larger per cent of our girls are thinking in terms of after-graduation employment rather than in terms of future home makers. In view of these ligures, taken from our office records, it becomes the plain duty of those in authority to shape the educational policy for this school in accordance with the wishes of the parents and pupils in the district as reflected in this enrollment.
