Business and Home Ec Gain More Classes Mr. Richard Ciemny and Mrs. Peggy Lenherr teach the business classes at WHS. Mrs. Lenherr teaches Typing I and Shorthand I and II classes. Mr. Ciemny teaches Typing II, bookkeeping, office practice, general busi- ness, and applied business. Several students in applied business worked for Wamego businessmen during class- time this year. The students involved were pleased with the experience received during the experiment. The Home Economics department does not offer cour- ses only for high school girls. Several classes of Mrs. Edna Doperalski and Mrs. Myma Eisenbeis, home eco- nomics teachers, prove this point. For example, there are now a Boy's Home Ec, Home Ec Seminar, and Family Living classes available. Also the ordinary home economics classes have undergone many changes. In short, the home economics department now has something for everyone. ABOVE LEFT: Julie Owens, senior, receives some experience in an- swering the telephone during office practice.

Vo-Ag and Industrial Arts Involve Many The Vocational-Agricultural department is headed by Mr. Ron Hollandsworth. The courses he teaches are In- troduction to Agriculture, Animal and Crop Science, Agriculture Management, Agriculture Related Occupa- tions, and Vocational Objective Mechanics. The stu- dents in the Vo-ag classes feel that these classes give them much of valuable experience and knowledge about agriculture. Mr. Hollandsworth has his hands full teaching this very important field of study at WHS. The Industrial Arts classes, taught by Mr. Dennis Adams, include Girls Shop, Mechanical Drawing I and II, and Industrial Arts I and II. These classes teach many of the aspects of woodworking, architecture, mechanics, and other related skills. Many students feel that these courses are very important because of the training and experience involved in them.

Science Students Work Very Hard in Lab Physics students spend many class periods working in the lab and writing up their lab reports. Physics students did experiments on Theories on Sound, Light, and Simple Machines to name a few of their many projects. After an experiment is completed the students then write up a lab report over what they saw and what hap- pened during the course of the experiment. In the Chemistry department the students have studied such things as the Molar Volume of a Gas or the Titration of an Acid and a Hydroxide. Also the students learned how to successfully use a slide rule, which is very helpful throughout the year. In Biology the students studied an- imals, their classification and dissection, the relation- ship of air and earth, and the plant kingdom.
