Wheel She is out! MILITARY Military training is given to boys who wish -to further their knowledge of military science. lt is not a com- pulsory subject, but there have been over three hun- dred and fifty boys enrolled this year. After a student finishes military, he is well disciplined, able to carry himself erect, and is able to take orders from his superiors. Camp Dallas is offered to cadets who are interested in obtaining a more thorough knowledge of military. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Physical Education Department is divided into two courses, one for girls and one for boys. A course of varied activities is offered in the girls gymnasium classes. As freshmen and sophmores, the girls have a chance to learn many dances, such as tap, soft shoe, folk, and national. The girls are also taught marching, which not only helps them to have better posture, but teaches them the fundamentals of order tactics and figure marching. Games, both organ- ized and mass, are a part of their activities. After becoming an upper classman, the girls play basket ball, volley ball, tennis, and badminton. ln the spring, when the weather is warm, the girls go outside and play baseball. All girls are required to take either activity or a rest according to health conditions, the entire four years that they are in high school. The gymnasium period is one of the most enjoyable parts of a school day. The boys physical education department participates in all kinds of sports: football, baseball, basket ball, volley ball, and tennis. A ... I x Q U' William Herzog Band S. S. Hutchinson B. S., M. A.

COMMERCIAL The commercial subjects taught at Forest Avenue High School offer much practical value to the student. Those available are typewriting, in which students learn and apply the fundamental or basic rules of typingp shorthand, which gives valuable background for stenographic work in the business Worldg bookkeep- ing, which teaches pupils to do work of a clerical naturep commercial arithmetic, the rapid solving of business arithmeticg and mechanical drawing, the uni- versal graphical language of industry. To help students to see the importance and usefulness of accurately applied commercial work, to teach them to fulfill this need, and to help them develop habits of neatness, accuracy, and perseverance in the performance of tasks, are the purposes planned and carried out in these courses. IOURNALISM Iournalism, as it is taught at Forest, has the two-fold aim of teaching news appreciation and news writing to the pupils who take the course, and of keeping pupils throughout the school in close touch with school activi- ties and interests. ln the Forest Echo, the Iournalism students strive for the same high principles which characterize any good city newspaper: those of truthfulness, independence, constructiveness, moderation, and service to its pub- lic. The work of the lournalism classes is similar to that of men on any community newspaper. Students develop their nose for news by scouting for the un- usual, write their editorials, meet their deadlines with their copy, count their heads by schedule, edit their work, proof read the galleys, and when the paper has been printed, turn themselves into a swift-working cir- culation department to sell the papers.
