Mr. Beckman discusses farm problems with his EEA. boys in the Agriculture rooms. We have two teachers in the Iunior High Building. They are Mr. Iones, who teaches the Freshman Industrial Arts classes, and Mr. Eells, another new teacher who gives art lessons. We have now com- pleted a tour of our school house and all the various rooms. Each room seems to hold something new each day and quite a bit of knowlege is gained in this school with the help of our efficient teachers. Each year a new course is added or an old one improved. We have a radio broadcast from our school every Tuesday and various departments have demonstrated their progress over the air. With the guidance of all these teachers our school is one of the very best.
