Wom- en have become more competitive in striving to reach their career goals. jobs that were once predominantly occupied by the male work force are now open to both sexes based on qualifications rather than prejudice Q O I and discrimination. Since its beginning in 1947, SHA has altered its curriculum to keep in tune with these social changes. The courses that were offered be- came much more di- verse. These courses stimulated the various talents of each student and encouraged re- search into particular career interests. Honors and advanced placement courses were offered to eligible students. A hands-on approach provided beneficial opportunities for direct application and vital experience. All these factors allowed each individual student to obtain the best possi- ble education for her needs. This may look like cheer- leading today, but in 1958 it was modern dance, a part of gym class.
