HIGH SCHOOL COURSES Curriculum Gives Meaning The Vancouver College High School Division consists of Grade nine to twelve in the scholastic course. Al- gebra and Geometry with their X and Y values, ab- scissa and ordinates; their proportional segments, angles and inequalities. Latin with its accusative case, dative, Semper Fidelis. French, verb agreement, pro- noun and subjunctives, Jean est mal. Chemistry for- mulas and Physics experiments. All these new approaches to higher education are absorbed and stored away in a high school student’s mind. These thinking subjects” are not for their own face value, but rather to more adequately make the student acquire the latent habit of thinking. If youth could but realize for a moment how soon they become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct, thoughts and studies while in the plastic moulding stage. Every piece of work well done, every stroke of virtue acquired in high school classes leaves its mark on the forming young mind for better or for worse. The time is now.
