In the woodcraft classes, the boys do lovely work, of which no one seems to take much notice. As we walked down the hall, some- thing that seemed to be only a mild tre- mor grew into a steady buzz, and then into a wild commotion. As we neared the evident cause of the noise, we could see people stream- ing in and out of the vom, evident- l ' flistezirdful of the teacher and what she was say- ing. Miss Perry seemed to be hav- ing rather a hard time of it, for what could it be except the aft room. Oft- en we stop to wonder how she manages to get her students to put out the fine work they do, with all of that clamor. A great deal more credit should go to her for her in- valuable support to all ofthe dances, for the publicity of other school undertakings, and T for the city-wide work such as the Clean-up Paint-up Week, Music Week, the Safety Cam- paign, and the Carter Memorial poster contests. We wandered up to the third floor hall in the southwest corner of the build- ing, nearly vacant in spite of the rushing crowds in the other parts of the school, wondering what heavenly power it could be that kept out the rush and the noise. But the farther we delved into the re- cesses of the hall the more apparent be- SOURCE OF SPOTLIGHT DIRT COLUMN Twcntyfjive

The great loss of the language department this year was the death of Mrs. Whitaker, whom everyone liked so well and who was such an excellent French teacher. Health is the road to all happiness, but from gymnasium attendance records we would judge that the physical education HARD ON BREAKFASTS Twentyffouf courses aren,t considered the only way to health. Gym courses are offered for boys and girls, and consist of posture ex- ercises and seasonal sports. The newest gymnasium course is a mixed folk danc- ing class, which learns the dances of dif- ferent races. This year, in cooperation with the music classes, the class presented a folk festival. At the end of our flying visit to the music department, we can only say Hats Off to Miss Moorhead for the fine work she has done with local music, and to Mr. Gorsline, who has done so well with the bands and orchestra. East is certainly turning out her quota of secretaries, judging by the number of commercial certihcates handed out each year, and many of the girls would make very pretty secretaries for some of you potential big business men. Outside of the students who clutter up the classes for just a half a year in order to learn enough to type their term papers, the people in these classes should make right smart business men and women. Now we think that it is about time to give three cheers and a hip-hip- hooray for the boys who take c o o k i n g. We haven't heard of any sewing as yet, but then, you never know what to expect of these Angels, and it may come to that. On . the other hand, we have some girls in the mechanic

THE ANGELUS . 1936 MAD HATTERS came the reason for the prevailing quiet. It was a pernicious odor that penetrated every niche and cranny, and evidently Was coming from the room at the far end of the hall. What could it be but the chemistry room, Where the students were Wonking out their experiments on sul- phur, but if Mr. Ticen, Mr. Easley and Mr.ffThompson can stand it, so can We, so holding our noses, and talking in l MODERN TIMES 'fwzntyfsix queer tones,We ap- proached their h a v e n . T h e s e classes have pre- sented a new inter- est to girls, with the study of face powder and cos- metics Qit seems they had to have something to get them in therej but it doesn't seem to have had much ef- fect on the girls, in spite of the fact they have been shown the danger, for they are as overloaded with heavy cosmetics as they ever Were before. Most of the other science classes have taken the same rou- tine as before, With the exception of the biology classs, which has formed a Vi+ sional Coursef ' This sounds much more elegant than it is, but, nevertheless, it is more interesting' than the others. This class includes along with the regular book work, a se- ries of motion pic- tures, charts, and slides, which coin- cide with the Work at hand. Another chemistry class is trying something a little different. They've divided their problems in- to three sections: home, community and industry. Each
