STUDY HALL was a new idea this year, necessitated by overcrowded conditions. To accomodate the overflow of students caused by lack of classroom space, many were assigned to study periods in Chimney Corners, where homework could be done under the supervision of teach- ers. Only upperclassmen were granted free first or seventh periods. THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS program was greatly ex- panded this year upon the completion of the new T-wmg. Wood and metal shops are now available in addition to drafting or mechanical drawing. The new courses proved to be a great attraction in spite of the long walking distance to classes in other school wings. Typing classes, such as the one shown above, are only part of the many courses offered by the BUSINESS DEPARTMENT as preparation for full or part-time employment in the business field. In these courses students can develop helpful skills by practicing busi- ness techniques and actually working with office equipment. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT offers eight courses, in- strumental and vocal, as well as three extra-curricular musi- cal groups. These courses are geared to varying degrees of musical skill. Both instrumental and choral groups (like Gerald Einarsson ' s first period mixed chorus, above) are well known because of their numerous performances for school and outside activities. 19
