THE THREE R'S - PLUS As students at Swampscott High, we have four major courses of study open to us. These are Academic and College Preparatory, Business, Industrial Arts, and Home Economics. Of the 740 pupils in high school, approximately two-thirds are enrolled in the College Preparatory Course. In addition to English, required of all students each year, and United States history, prescribed for seniors, college-bound pupils have a substantial program from which to build up the fifteen units essential for college admission. Foreign languages offered are Latin, French, and Spanish. It is not unusual to find modern-language students after school listening intently to rec- ords as they strive to become proficient in the spoken language as well as in grammar and reading. Mathematics courses run the gamut from general math to solid geometry and trigonometry, with a new introduction to college math planned for next year. Science courses range from general science for all freshmen, through biology, chemistry, and physics. Students who are preparing for positions in business imme- diately after graduation find invaluable training offered in the Business Course. Required departmental subjects include general business, bookkeeping, typewriting, economic geography, and con- sumer education, in addition to the courses in English and history taken by all pupils at S.H.S. In the fourth year, business students elect one of two courses, Stenographic or Clerical, according to their plans for the future. The Stenographic group concentrates on office machines and stenography, while Clerical students learn office practice. For boys enrolled in Industrial Arts, the course of study offers shop practice, shop mathematics or algebra and geometry, technical physics, and mechanical drawing, as well as English and history. Electives include sciences and foreign languages. A num- ber of students not enrolled in the Industrial Arts Course elect mechanical drawing to help them in art, science, and future col- lege engineering. For girls, the required program in the Home Economics Course includes consumer education, home nursing and nutrition, and home economics, in addition to English and history. Among the electives enriching the curriculum offered to us at Swampscott High are art, choral music, band, and speech. Library-training is given to all freshmen, and throughout the four years the book-lined room is a familiar place for study and reference. In Swampscott as elsewhere, driver education claims many eager students, and physical education is a must on every- one's program. Of the class of 1958, seventy-eight percent plan to continue their education beyond high school. Four-year schools are the choice of eighty-four percent of this group, the largest number in a long time. These seniors will attend a total of fifty to sixty colleges. Other members of the class will go directly into perma- nent jobs, while some will enter the armed forces. Whatever our objectives, we are assisted in making our plans and selecting our programs by the members of the Guidance Department. S.H.S. is a busy place, and though at times life seems full of term tests, science projects, and research papers, we are grateful for the educational opportunities provided for us at Swampscott High.
