SOCIAL STUDIES Social sciences have assumed greater im- portance as they prepare the students to cope with the problems they must face. Under the guidance of Mrs. Wray, the underclassmen study the workings of our government in civics; the seniors study the law of supply and demand in economics. Dr. Root leads the sophomores through World History and Mrs. Durden follows up with American History for the juniors and seniors. The library is directed by Miss Mough- ton, who is with us for the first time this year. All the students find it easy to do reference work and parallel reading with her help.

MATH ilND SCIEME H2SO ' . To the many students entering the service and the alumni scattered throughout the world, math and science have proved their true value. At the request of the govern- ment, these subjects are given greater em- phasis than ever before. Miss Riser, who teaches math essentials, helps the students balance their equations in Algebra I and II. Mrs. Miller also teaches a class of algebra, and Miss Chit- tenden, socialized math. The sophomores study plain geometry and the seniors struggle through trig and solid geometry under the supervision of Mrs. Lynch. To the freshmen Mrs. Smith offers gen- eral science and to the upperclassmen, radio. Mrs. Fort has classes in chemistry and biology, while Mrs. Bisbee teaches the senior boys the elements of physics. leff to right: Mrs. Gladys Smith, Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch, Miss Ethel Riser, Mrs. Mae Daly Fort. „.

VOCATIONAL Miss Ruphiechl provides iiistnictidii for the freshmen girls ami those older girls who want a more complete knowledge of cooking, sewing, and home managing in home economies and industrial arts. The pupil who wishes to enter the busi- ness world may prepare for his future under Miss Stevens ' direction. Her classes include bookkeeping, commercial law, shorthand, and typing. For the ' future farmers — both boys and girls — Mr. Johnson proves an able leader. This is the first year girls have been included in the agricultural course, but this practice will probably be con- tinued as they enjoyed it very much. At the school farm the students learn cultiva- tion of land, care of animals, and care of agricultural implements. Mr. A. R. Johnson, Miss Barbara Ruphrecht, Miss Rebecca Stevens, ' f ' system.
