Faculty MISS BROWN was the home economics teacher this year; she also taught biology. In freshman home economics, most of the first semes- ter was spent dealing with food preparation, meal serving, and food values. Personal grooming, so- cial rules, and self improvement were studied during a few weeks of the first and second se- mesters. The second semester is devoted to art problems and clothing. Each girl analyzes herself according to the colors and types of clothing she should wear. In the last few weeks simple dresses, blouses, or other articles are made during class time. Ga e Brown In the second year of home economics, the entire first semester is spent studying food, how to preserve and purchase it, how to prepare meals, and how to serve meals. A number of dinners were .served to guests. How to care for the baby and small child and how to care for the sick in the home are the bases for study in the last half of the year. Girls learn how to make a bed properly, how to change linens with the patient in bed, etc. In advanced home economics for the junior and senior students, the girls learn more advanced food-preparation techniques and interior decorat- ing during the first semester. The last half of the year is given over to more difficult clothing problems than have previously been encountered and family relationships. Miss Brown graduated from Ball State Teachers College a year ago. MR. BUESKING instructed algebra, general mathematics, geometry, chemistry, and general science. In algebra a study of formulas is made and in uses of letters in solving problems when the numbers are not yet known. Ways are found for working problems which cannot be solved by arithmetic. A review of the 7th and 8th grade arithmetic is the beginning of general mathematics. Further arithmetic as used in business and other occupa- tions is also taught. Considerable time is given to problems in finance, insurance, etc. Geometry is a study of triangles, circles, and other figures and draw- ings with the laws of shape, size and other relations. It is useful in all other mathematics work. Chemistry delves into the composition of compounds and their reactions to each other. Experiments were conducted frequently. Mr. Buesking was graduated from Ball State Teachers College. He taught in the Burris High School in Muncie. Last year he did graduate work at Purdue University.

VOSS directed the vocal music for the high school and taught the Latin classes. The chorus, girls’ trio, and octette appeared on a num- ber of programs in the community. The enjoy- ment of singing various types of music as well as an appreciation of good music are objectives in the department. Latin is designed to acquaint the student with a history of the English language. By learning Latin, the student is able to increase his English vocabulary by determining the Latin basic word from which our English words are formed. Roman customs and culture are also studied in the Latin class. Marcelle Voss Second year Latin is a continuation of the first-year course in ad- vanced sentence structure, vocabulary study, and grammar. The second semester is a study of Caesar’s Gallic Wars and a comparison and contrast of his methods of war with modern methods. This class prepares and serves a Latin banquet following Roman customs.
