WHS ACADEMIC The Academic Course is the oldest course offered in the high school. Long before the introduction of other courses designed to give vocational training, it was the only offering made for the education of high school students in the arts and sciences thought necessary for cultured and educated people. As its chief offerings the course includes two languages, social sciences, mathematics, four years of English, sciences, art. and music. During recent years these last two subjects have become increasingly important in the high school, their enrollment growing constantly. Whatever a student does, wherever he goes, he will use his training in the Academic Course in interpreting general facts, in dealing with life problems, and in communicating with other peoples. COMMERCIAL I he Commercial Course enrolls about one-sixth of the total number of High School pupils. Those electing the Commercial Course start their practical training as Sophomores in Junior Business Training. For Juniors and Seniors, the curriculum includes two years of Shorthand, two years of Typewriting, and one year of Bookkeeping These subjects are made as practical as the time permits, the object being to fit the pupils to go into some form of business work. For those who have an opportunity to go on in business education, this course is a splendid foundation. - TYPING - l---4 + • d d 4k d d d 4.U !L JJ- 71 4 Page Seventeen
