FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT Lights! Camera! Action! The scene is laid in a luxurious living room. Through the open Windows soft music floats gently. Through these same windows one can see a beau- tksmg Miss Hoffman, Art Miss Weaw'er, Music Miss Young, Dramatics Mr. Aikey. Band Mr. Huntingdon. Orchestra 'Iv titul garden. There is a Crescendo in the music. The actors enter the room. This has not really happened here in Iohnstown Central High School, but Well it might. The music depart- ment could furnish the sott melody, the room could be decorated by the interior decorating classes. The art department could paint the lovely garden and the dra- matics students could Well supply the actors. All of these departments came under one head in our school-the tine arts department, whose aim it is to create a keen appreciation for the tiner things ot lite and to help students bring out special and sometimes hidden talents. 19

HEALTH DEPARTMENT There is one department in Iohnstown High School which is set distinctly apart from all others. This part of the program deals with the physical side of the stu- dents, rather than the mental side. It is known as the Health Department. The nurse, gym teachers, and coaches who compose it see that every student in the school is physically fit. In special classes pupils are taught how to distin- guish and prevent the different types of diseases, how to participate in active, healthful sports, and how to perform simple exercises which build up all parts of the body. Every year the medical staff conducts an examination of all the stu- dents, in which eyesight, hearing, heart- beat, and dental care are tested. These tests and courses help each student to produce a sound mind in a healthful body, so that he may be phy- sically fit for future citizenship. Below you see the type of exercises in which the girls take part during their gym periods. Active participation in such sports will insure these girls against sickness. Swing high, swing low! 18 5233 Rodgers fl. Wciql Rutledge Shaffer

They may become private secretaries, stenographers, bookkeepers, typists, file clerks, bankers, or sales clerks after completing some of the various courses presented in this department. Practical office training in the senior shorthand and typing classes helps to produce stenographers. Courses in book- keeping, economics, commercial law, and salesmanship lead to many positions in the business World. One of the important phases of this department is the placement service con- ducted by Miss Clarissa Hills, head of the department, who helps to find posi- tions for many graduates.
