VOCATIONAL ยป , For those students who are interested in the various phases of vocational training, Shields High School can meet adequately their needs. The Vocational Agricultural Department was established in 1918 and has been increasing in interest yearly. Through its various projects boys get special training who otherwise could never have it. The training in corn judging, live- stock judging, and the various types of 4-H Club work helps to make more progressive and better satisfied farmers. The Manual Arts Department, originally a part of the Art Department, was begun in 1918. In 1920 Manual Training was introduced. In 1922 the old gymnasium was converted into a manual training room and a complete new set of equipment was installed. Yearly new equipment has been added and the department extended. Today, in addition to learning the construction of and appreciation for furniture, the boys learn many other skills. The Home Economics Department was established in 1918 but did not be- come Vocational until 1934. Through its courses in nursing, interior decorating, home management, sewing, and cooking, it helps to arouse interest in better and happier homes. The Commercial Department has grown rapidly since its establishment in 1926. Much new equipment was added last year, thus making it possible to assist in publishing the Shields Owl. The courses taught are stenography, typing, bookkeeping, and practical office training. There are one hundred and fifty-eight students enrolled in the Vocational Course. IN THE SHOP Page Si)

LENORE SWAILS Secretary GEORGE A. CLARK President ALBERT P. CHARLES Treasurer THE SCHOOL BOARD Those who direct the destinies of the Seymour Public Schools are appointed for a three-year period by the City Council. Their duties as fixed by law, involve the establishment and maintenance of the public school system. The Board, together with the Superintendent of Schools, meets in regular session on the first Monday night of each month to determine policies relating to all phases of the school program. The development of our school system is largely attributed to the interest and support of the past and present School Boards who receive little financial reward for their services but who serve the school because of their interest in youth and the community.
