Two newspapers, one daily and the local weekly, are also at the students' disposal. In the early part of the year, fluorescent lighting was installed in the library, giving fifty candle-power of light.

AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT The terminating school year of 1946-47 has seen fifty boys enrolled in agriculture, now a four year course which includes directed farm practice In addition, the department has expanded to involve two evening schools of forty nights during the winter for farmers concerned with the study of agricultural problems. In general, agriculture this season has been directed toward the following objectives: (1) The study of principles necessary for efficient farm management (2) The development of skills necessary to making farming a profitable occupation (3) The formation of an appreciation of the rights and responsibilities as members of society (4) The providing of training that will result in intelligent appreciation of the opportunities in farming and its related industries The department is a bustling, hustling beehive of activity where every worker hips to fulfill the various duties of this organization. Their work in the many capacities filled by the Ag. department has rendered invaluable service to West Salem and the surrounding community. By encouraging farm boys to enter West Salem High School this department has served in perhaps its most important role — the education of rural youth. In the field of conservation they have encouraged the elimination of needless wastes caused by pests and diseases through the use of sprays and dusting. They have tested 2050 samples of soil to find out just what it lacks, thus promoting the production of more and better farm products. Their assistance in buying certified seed and treating potatoes has helped many farmers. Field trips have proved to be both educational and helpful. Their activities on these excursions have included pruning and grafting of fruit trees, also the caponization of poultry. In addition, they have spliced ropes and constructed two self-feeders. At the present time, there are twenty-four boys running annual butter fat tests. Fifteen members completed a full set of farm records, not exactly a small task. These things serve to encourage and give the boys the practical experience necessary in the production of better livestock. There are also several who are members of the Wisconsin Swine Testing Association. Various boys fed end prepared four carloads of livestock for showing at State Fair. In this modem world, great strides are being made in every field of industry each day. To keep abreast of the times, this department has secured all the latest bulletins concerned with agriculture. HOMEMAKING DEPARTMENT The years of '46 and '47 found forty-six girls enrolled in Miss Brown's Homemaking course. Throughout the year the girls have acquired knowledge concerning foods and nutrition, sewing, budgeting, and home furnishing. Summer will find each girl working on a Homemaking project. The project is one of her own choice—cooking, sewing, baking, or home beautification. Miss Brown supervises these summer projects.
