The aroma of spaghetti from the foods room drifts down the hall to the reeking lab, Where biologists are dissecting pickled frogs. The monotone of a Latin class drill- ing on declensions is broken by the staccato tattoo of typewriters or the whine of a power saw in wood shop. SHS stresses thorough academic train- ing. All students complete three or more years of English, at least two units in social studies, one in math, and one in natural science, plus electives to make six- teen and one-half credits. Seventy per cent of the pupils take science and 53 per cent are studying mathematics. Through courses like these we learn skills applicable to our future years in college, business, or homemaking. Having completed at least 16 units of work from the school board's curriculum, graduates are prepared for well-rounded lives and the responsibilities of citizenship in a free nation.
