FINE ARTS Mrs. CAROL HURR-Music Miss CHARLENE PETERSON-Art Mr. NORMAN Beville -Band Many of those things which add to the fulness of our lives are classified as the fine arts. Art and music are the two subjects of this group that are taught in Golden. In these classes we learn to appreciate good art and good music and to participate in the fine projects and activities carried out by the music and art departments. PRACTICAL ARTS Mr. ALFRED PERRELLA -Shop and Mechan- ical Drawing Mr. VEINON WHITING -Distributive Edu- cation and Office Practice Mrs. KATHLEEN TOLOS-Home Economics Of all the courses in school, the ones that can be put to immediate practical use are shop, home economics, and distributive education. Shop gives a boy the feeling of doing something useful and the feeling of accomplishment. Many girls in home economics put their skill to work as soon as they go home. Disuibutive education students receive help and instruction in the everyday problems that they face on their after-school jobs.

All of these subjects are related ln that they deal with man, his existence, and his enviromnent. Our study of man in high school begins with world history. Here we gain a fundamental knowledge of how our world came into its present state. Then we go on to geo- graphy and sociology, learning man's economic and social problems. In our senior year we take up American history. Here for the first time we become able to fully appreciate and understand our A- merican hertiage and way of life. LANGUAGES Mr. ROBERT ELLIOTT-English and Coach Miss HELEN FAIRBANKS-English Miss MAUD PRIEST-English. Latin, and Dramatics Mrs. HELEN NOLLEN-English, Spanish, and Ioumalism The next thing to visiting a foreign country is to leam its tongue. Language students not only learn the language, but also become acquainted with many of the customs and ideas of the country and there- by gain a better understanding of its people. It is even more important, though, to learn well our own language for, 'Reading maketh a full man: conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.

COMMERCIAL Miss ATHIE MANOS-Shorthand and Typing Mr. AMD. SWANSON-Typing and Book- keeping The commercial subjects are useful in many fields other than business. They do prepare a person for entrance into the busi- ness world, but they also teach skills that can be applied to other activities. Typing is useful in high school and even more so in college. Also many college students take notes in shorthand while listening to lec- tures. The general principles of business can be applied to many situations to keep records straight and to work more efficient- ly. PHYSICAL EDUCATIGN Mr. RICHARD BOOTON -Boys' Physical Education and Coach Mrs. MABEL BISHOP-Girls' Physical Education Besides good food, medicine, and proper rest, it takes physical exercise to keep in good health. Some people are more naturally athletic than others, but all can receive the benefits of physical educa- tion classes. Exercises are far more effec- tive when taught by and done under the supervision of a skilled teacher. The finer points of many types of athletic games are taught from the standpoints of both the participant and the spectator.
