ORDER OE THE BOOKS Book I: Curriculum The major changes of 1938 that have been ef- fected by the guiding educational lights headed by Mr. Hill and aided by new and old students alike, have been the widening of the scope of the courses of pro- gressive education, the eight-year educational experi- ment, and the introduction of two new courses; one, Physical Science, is a study of the basic principles of both physics and chemistry; the other, Art Craft, gives to students the opportunity to enliven their homes and clothing with clever, useful articles. Book II: Over the Footlights One of the chief sources of recreation for Angels lies in the auditorium programs. Besides the numer- ous pep-meetings at which cheer-leaders were given their chance to shake the walls, 1938 saw a brilliant array of auditorium presentations, among them the Big Broadcast; the operetta, Rosamund; the senior class play; and many speakers. In addition, movies were presented regularly. Book 111: Participation 1938 saw significant advances made in all fields. The R.O.T.C. reported a record enrollment. The school publications moved ahead; the Angelus received Pace- maker and Gold Medal awards; the Spotlight was All- American as usual, and showed financial success as a result of record sales; the Scriptbook gave to East the last word in the efforts of Angel literati. The Stu- dent Council promoted the Big Broadcast, Red and White Day, purchase of A Cappella uniforms, and school welfare. And in the contest field, Woodbury, Wolcott, and Shafroth attracted interested audiences; Kiwanis effected a change of pace by sponsoring an inter-school panel discussion.
