We ,l!eL,1 Buda! Me fvwzfawi fbaz AGRICULTURE I've learned some swell ideas on how we can make more money from our cows. l know I haven't been farming tor twenty years like Dad has, but there are all sorts of new methods. We've been learning them in Agricul- ture classes at school. Just anyone can't take Agriculture. You have to live on a farm or work there so you can get practical experience. At school we have the farm shop where we learn to take care of tools and machinery. A large number ot veterans are study- ing Agriculture under the job training program. Mr. Ward and Mr. Gensicke visit them on their own farms and the veterans attend night classes. Our school has the best agriculture pro- gram of the suburban schools and the largest in the state. The Ag Department witness a herd classification sponsored by the Na- tional Holstein Association, Mr. McDowell examines a buckrake built by one of the veterans in their training program.

That was our les- son today in Home Economics. I sure do enjoy the class. l can't wait till we learn to make dressing table cov- ers and things for our homes. Last week at the state convention we saw some demonstrations. We girls surely learn a lot of new things at the big meetings. A girl can take Home Economics for six years at school. It is required in seventh and eighth grades and is an elective subject for tour years of Senior High. In the Senior year it's really different. The class is all discussion. Home Nursing, First Aid, Family Relations, Child Care, Good Nutrition, and other sub- jects pertaining to homemaking are studied.

Page liwvnlg -four LANGUAGE The stories of Jason like Aesop's fables have been handed down through the centuries from father to son, to our Latin text- books. After becoming acquainted with vo- cabularly, genders, and conjugations we are fully prepared to rattle off translations like Caesar himself. Again and again we come across many words in our English discussions that are de- rived from words of our Latin-American neigh- bors whose native tongue is Spanish. The study of their language introduces us to Pancho, the gaucho and his ancient con- queror Cortez. One other elective language offered to us is that of German. This gives us a living ap- preciation of the great masters of science and music such as Beethoven, Wagner, and Bunsen. Miss Fardy points out the details of Latin gram- rnar and they all seem to be enjoying it, Hmm! Miss Lemke reads to E hor German class.. ll'uultc-.Shu Iliyh Schools
