These are the academic clasess. Academ- ic, we are told, is a big word which describes the college-preparatory course. More students are enrolled in this than any other course of learning offered at Sidney High. Students who are planning to go to college know they need the subjects required in the academic course to be accepted by the college or university of their choice. Among these subjects are French and Latin for the would-be linguist: various forms of mathematics for the junior Einstein: history, ancient and modern, for the world leader of tomorrow: and scientific courses for future atom-smashers. As a foundation for all these there is English grammar, an understanding of which is needed in every field. A well-rounded education also includes a familiarity with the fine literature of all lands and peoples. It seems to us that a graduate of high school is unusually well-informed. What master-minds will these young people be when they have completed a college course!

KJ L! 8 The world has grown much more commercialized and business- like in the thirty-tive years since we were created to watch over the students who pass beneath us. We have discovered, to our pleasure, that the school has grown in the same way. One of the most popular courses of learning in Sidney High School is business education. Here girls and boys learn the principles of stenography, salesrnanship, advanced accounting, and general office practices. Our interest was iirst caught by a host of noisy, complicated- looking machines. Herk started hitting keys here and there on a contraption called an electromatic typewriter. Suddenly he was conscious oi someone behind him. He looked up to see Miss Dillon. head oi the business education department, who smilingly showed us all the machines used in that course, demonstrating their strange workings. All oi them, she explained, are examples ot the modern way of preparing students for the business world. Actual work in the offices or for various teachers provides experience for the capable secretary, accountant, or business manager-to-be.
