SCIENCE The primary objects in studying science are to master the development of oneself through the study of science and to serve the best in- terests of changing social order. Real strength should be well balancedg one's health as well as one's studies must be considered but neither to an extreme. The student of science will de- velop many of these attitudes: to reason in- telligently, to observe accurately, and to be honest mentally. Finally, he will use his spare time for a much better purpose, always concentrating on that which will be helpful to him and to others. L. F. FRETTER, head MUSIC Left to right: Miss Ames, chairman, Miss Jeter, Miss Slater. Second Row: Mr. Jenner. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Previous to the last few years, boys who were interested in a trade left school at the age of fifteen and became apprentices, but now it is compul- sory to attend school until the age of eighteen is reached. The Industrial Arts course helps the boy to begin his training for a trade while attending school. This course is also ideal for the boy who wants some outlet for his energy as it gives him real ideas for finding ways to spend his leisure time. The drafting , SCIENCE .

The chorus classes and glee clubs are for those who enjoy singing. The glee clubs' present the Christmas program, two Baccalaureate Vesper services, and collaborate with the senior or- chestra in the production of the spring opera. The instrumentalists have two small orchestras in addition to the senior orchestra, the latter organization appearing on public programs. The R.O.T.C.

ENGLISH Since English is a compulsory subject, all students must take it for three years. The English courses aim to help the students ac- complish three things: first, to learn to speak effectively in public, second, to learn to write correctly and interestingly, third, to know good books and to read them with understanding ENGLISH and pleasure.

Blick' ow. r. cLeod, Mr. EDI-I-H GRUNDY, head A R T The art students in Hollywood High School have finer opportunities than most of them can realize. ln the matter of equipment alone, they would not find such workrooms and other facilities in many of the great art schools of Europe. As to the art faculty, all have regrett- ed the absence of its head, Mrs. Ava Lee, on leave this year, but the department has been most fortunate in her substitute, Miss Mary Evans. The work offered in the life and commer- cial art classes is preparing many for profes- sional careers, and the classes in stage art and clay modeling have brought out some decided talent in students who are well on the way to professional achievements in their chosen fields.

ART Left to right: Miss Evans, Miss Waggoner, acting head, Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Stahmer. HOME ECONOMICS During the past few years there has been a steady increase in the num- ber of students enrolled in the Home Economics Department. Realizing more and more that home economics has become not so much a body of subject 'matter as a way of living, the young person has found it to be a most vital curricular offering. New courses in personal development, boys' foods, and boys' first aid, all reflect the keen interest both men and women everywhere are showing towards health and a more complete and well rounded development of personality. Other courses in home management, millinery, foods, clothing, dietetics, and nursing all pro- vide training in the practical phases and a wise use of leisure time. OERTRUDE D. GRAHAM, head

MATHEMATICS Mathematics is the oldest course now being taught in Hollywood High School. While it has been modernized to keep pace with ever- changing social conditions, the fundamental laws are universal-the same in France and In- dia as they are here in Hollywood. Many of these fundamental laws were known before art became a subject to be taught in Secondary Schools, or before Chaucer wrote English, or before French and Spanish had been colloquial- ized from the Latin. The two requisites for success in mathemat- ics are no-rmal brain power and a willingness to work. Mathematics is no longer required for high school graduation, but the universities either require it for entrance or require it be- fore the granting of a junior Certificate. lln some universities you Can get in without it, but you can't get out. l G.

There are niceties in the idiom that make translations a very poor substitute. If we truly wish to understand other people and ourselves, by comparison, we should know the philosophy of the other nation. Language is the means of communicating ideas and ex- Changing thought. In our contracting world greater appreciations are essential, knowledge must be broader, and attitudes more liberal. The foundation for this richer life lies in the study of foreign languages. Thel language department offers a foundation of the language studied and a cultural background for better understanding of that particular nation.

BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Success and the development of friendly relations are the two points stressed by our athletic department. Each candidate for a sport is taught to develop the desire to learn the game, to learn to play it clean, and to have the desire not only to succeed himself, but to be instrumental in the success of his team, keeping in mind that the successful team is not always the winning team. -S t Q. kmlfi? lint-QSESP In athletic relations with other schools, Hollywood athletes are taught that regardless of the outcome of the game, the friendship of the visiting athletes should be retained, win or lose, they should be made to feel that true sportsmanship and friendly feelings still exist, WILLIAM I.
