Orientation is taught only to Sophomore B stu- dents and is a great help to them in forming their courses all through the high school years. If it is a college group, they study various colleges, as to What is taught there and the history of it. In Mr. Milor's college class a monthly mimeographed magazine is published. Each edition has a different editor and it is made up of short stories, poems, jokes, editorials, and illustrations. Both groups, college preparatory and terminal, also study their chance for success in the world. The Commercial Department teaches bookkeeping, shorthand, commercial arithmetic, and typ- ing. There are five awards given to commercial students: the Leslie I. Harris award , the William H. Eadie award, the Fred B. Mack award, the R. H. Stockwell awards in advanced typewriting, and in beginning typewriting. Former Winners Who are now employed at S. B. H. S. are Trieva Hill, assist- ant attendance clerk, and Lucille Padgett, financial secretary. Lola Geib, the former financial secre- tary, has been transferred and now works in the superintendents office. Physics, chemistry, biology, and practical science are subjects Which may be chosen from the Science Department. To have at least one year of chemistry or physics is a college requirement. Girls' health, classed as physical education but represented on this page, is a compulsory subject, but is only a one semester course. It is generally taken when girls are in their junior year, although it may be taken When they are seniors. The first quarter is de- voted to home nursing and hY- giene and the last quarter to first aid. Miss Virgiline Mulvane is the only one Who teaches this subject- i14l

The E c o n o m i C s Department gives courses in foods and dietet- ics, Clothing, home management, and in interior decoration. To in- crease interest in students taking any of these subjects, in the Home Economics building, there is a three-room Hapartment ea living room, dining room, and kitchen. Boys can also take a course in cooking. Many teas and dinners are given by the department. Quite a variety of languages are taught: Latin, Spanish, French, and German. College require- ments for languages are either three years of one language or two years each of two languages. To further the appreciation of for- eign languages in S. B. H. 8., clubs have been organized, a French Club, a German Club, and a Spanish Club. The Physical Education Depart- ments teach tennis, football, bas- ketball, baseball, volleyball, and girls' sports. A new game taught for the first time this year, is the Engish game rugby. The first game, the night of January 14, was received enthusiastically. Girls may also take rythmic ex- pression, a form of dancing. For girls Who need lighter exercise, there are horseshoes, ping pong, and badminton. The departments are members of the Citrus Belt League. Perhaps some of the most well liked subjects taught in S. B H. S. for boys are taught in the Me- chanical Building. There, boys may work in the print shop and machine shop. There, also, they are taught wood-work. Automo- biles may be repaired by student mechanics at only the cost of the repaired parts, and a thorough job is done, too. Boys Who take these courses are enabled to earn their own money by being able to work in a garage or print shop after graduation. H31 Seated: Reid. head of Home Ec. Dept.; Randall, head of Lang.
