For Those Going to College
Students expecting to go on to
college should take all the mathe-
matics and science they can get, as
well as one foreign language (for
two years. Generally speaking, this,
with English, will prepare them for
college entrance in most any col

go into engineering of any kind

college algebra are most helpful for
all students intending to go on to
college.

Glee Club work unless the student
