fixfaafzf .f owsfz .530 PRACTICAL ARTS Beaver prides itself on its two line phy- sical. education teachers. They tell us that we find strong minds in strong bodies. Then there's Miss Bartlett of the Practical Arts Department who will tell us that diet has a great deal to do with strong bodies and this is one of the important phases of the work taken up in both girls, and boys' foods classes, and in the preparation of food both boys and girls show expert cul- inary power. Ah, such cakes .... And the lovely, stylish garments made in the Home Economics Department would lead one to believe that the girls there really learn by doing. They know what the well-dressed student should wear. Mr. Blessing's course in mechanical drawing is a sure foundation for engineering and architecture.

He is a member of our State Legislature too. References! Yes, these seniors in Miss Rimmerls class are comparing the indus- tries of Blueheld in 1890 With those of 1940. Left to ,right-Betty Poe, June Beane, Nlargaret Grimes, Harold Porter- Held, Tyler Easley, Joan Cannon. SOCIAL SCIENCE The duty of these faculty members to the right, is to build citizenship through history and government. The students in this department are really interested for they'll turn over half a library to get their reports and floor talks ready. And such things, as community plans, please them too. The American History class quiz in assembly proved just how practical a course in American History can be. It is the study of the gradual development of a great nation, a great democracy! Demo- cracy-that reminds us-Thelma Wilson, Winner of the American Legion Scholar- ship, can tell us all about our Democracy and Why We should be proud of it.
