Mr. Young' ulul Class Bliss .llilllm :mil hlalss MANUAL TRAINING Human life is essentially a wish-to-do-to roll up its sleeves and work. Even the small child is proud of the different patterns created by piling his blocks. The Manual Training Department teaches what the child tries to do. Here the boy learns the opera.- tion of the lathe, band saw, planerg he is correctly taught to use the rule, T-square, compass, and other instruments of measure. When he can handle these, the blue print will follow, soon after-the product. The joy of making is then realized: consequently many profitable hours are spent making new and useful articles. HOME ECONOMICS In our cosy kitchen nook g M We study hard how food should look: And say it takes a mighty good. cook To show a cake in a picture book. Home Economics covers more than t-he baking of a cake. Living and working happily together, the budgeting of the income, the decorating and main- tenance of the home, the purchasing of food, the well balanced meal, the etiquette of serving, the se- lection and making of clothes, are all important phases of the subject taught in High School. 1935

H. S. THE SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT It has been said that civilization is the efficient way of doing things. By studying social sciences We become more efficient, and therefore more progressive. Perhaps the best known maxim that can be applied to the Social Science Department is that We must profit by another's example. This Department offers social, economic, and political history of both past and present. By the study of civics, history, and problems of democracy, we are able to see deficiencies and perfections of different methods of government. Only by knowing these can we hope to better our government in the future. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT The value of the study of mathematics cannot be overestimated. Every hour in the day some form is used by the individual, especially arithmetic. The income of the family must be balanced. In- surance, and banking must be handled in a business- like manner. Airplanes and automobiles, bridges and skyscrapers must be constructed to fulfill the demand of modern civilization. All of these things demand mathematical computation. In fact, arithmetic, algebra, geometry and ,trigonometry are the tools of the twentieth century artisan. Mr. Hwll, Miss Nlillf-13 NIV. Iiutlvr, Miss Steely Mr. Aiulvrsuii, NIV. Ifuux, Mr. Berwlette
