A. act as guide posts Miss Christine Martin Mathematics Miss Elizabeth White Algebra, Geometry Hoys interested in industrial arts attend three periods at Spaulding each day and then go up on the hill. Here they have a chance to put their knowledge to work in classes in mechanics, electricity, drafting, and wood- working. The trade school provides a great opportunity for acquiring practical experience. They learn by doing the actual thing. This is more profitable to them than learning from books. Driver education proves popular with eligible stu- dents of Spaulding. Classroom work, as well as the practical experience of operating a car, is included in this course. Art classes are elective for those who wish to participate. Our three capable janitors keep our school sparkling at all times. The cafeteria staff serve well-planned meals for students through a system of two lunch periods. We, the students, sincerely thank our wonderful fac- ulty who have showed us the w ay through our four years of high school. Without their guidance and inspi- ration at times when we needed it the most, we w’ould not have been able to receive our fine education which we may now call our own. Thanks—from the bottom of our hearts. Mr. Barrett Waling Driver Training Mr. David Seeley Mr. Donald Fuller Biology, Geometry Biology, Ec. Geography

Miss Marion Sallah English, French Miss Jean Watson English Mrs. Marjorie Worth- ington English, Sentinel Upperclassmen appreciating the higher level of knowledge while our patimt teachers Freshmen entering the doors of S.H.S. for the first time may pursue one of four curricula: college prep, aca- demic, commercial, or trade and industrial with English predominating in all. In the first three courses leading departments are our foreign languages: French, Latin, and Spanish, which enable a student to learn the tongue of a distant land. Social studies teach us the history, geography, and economy of our great country. All fresh- men are required to take civics, and II. S. History must be mastered before graduation. A wide field of science and mathematics are offered to the students. General science for freshmen, biology for sophomores, physics for juniors, and chemistry for seniors are the four sci- ences taught. Students preparing for college may take four years of mathematics, from algebra to solid geom- etry and trigonometry. General math is offered for those not planning to further their education. The continuous click of the typewriters, the scratching of the pen when taking shorthand, or the puzzled look on the face of the student whose bookkeeping will not balance—these in- dicate our future men and women of the business world taking the Commercial Course.
