THEMSELVES FOR TOMORROW’S WORLD The modern business world calls for both young men and young women with a knowledge of the basic clerical skills. It is the function of the commerce department at SHS to develop these skills and to prepare those students interested in commerce for the future. The commerce department at SHS offers courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, general business, and office practice . Today's students become tomorrow's farmers. Agriculture, even though a relative old vocation, requires a special scientific and technological training. In order to provide the future farmer with the best methods, SHS offers four years of agriculture. The FFA plays a major role in this agriculture course. Some of the boys' instruction comes from field trips on near-by farms. Typing correctly presents a problem to Ronnie Blackstone, as Mrs. Spear points out a few errors on his copy.

With more and more vehicles on the roads, good driving is a necessity. Through the driver's training program, the pupils not only learn how to drive, but the best driving techniques and accident prevention are taught. The prospective drivers get actual experience by operating the driver's education car approximately two periods per week. In class they learn the techniques they will put into effect when they are behind the wheel. They learn the care and grooming of the modern automobiles. Through the grade music program, students who are not active in any other music groups may gain an appreciation for music. Junior high students are required to take a class of vocal and theory instruction, which gives them the background for musical appreciation that they need. DUCHEMIN GARAGE 21
