STUDENT BODY A Training students for their respective occupations subsequent to graduation is the primary purpose of any high school. There are a certain number of these graduates who become the leaders, socially, politically, and industrially of their generation. Hollywood High School provides an intensive preparation for those who are fitted to hold the reins of these activities in the broadmlinded, considerate fashion. Student officers who are cognizant of the ideas and opinions of their fellow students as well as the faculty, render many of the important decisions as to maintenance of various types of activity, this last year student administrators comprised Bill Lindsey as president of the student body, Harry Landis as vice-president, and Ruth Web- STUDENT BODY OFFICERS ber as secretary for the student body. aiu.

Merely conducting Hollywood's interesting as- semblies was by no means the extent of Bill's tasks. He has had to take an active, helpful part in every activity of the school in order to draw to each activity the attention and interest of the student body. Ac- cordingly, he has been an honorary member of the Hollywood Rotary Club and has done a great deal toward the establish- ment of very cordial relations with the club. Twice this year students here have enjoyed programs presented by representatives of the Rotary Club, members of which have been equally delighted with the program presented by Hollywood students. ln the 20-30 Club of which the president of the student body is an ex-officio honorary member, he arranged a variety show program pre- sented by Hollywood's talent. lt is often said that two heads work better than one. Harry Landis has tried to prove the wisdom of that adage to the best of his ability, BOARD OF CONTROL First Row: Sutton, Lacayo, Hoffman, VanSant, Lindsey, Webber, Landis, Patterson, Reid.

SOCIAL STUDIES We have mourned several funerals in the Social Science Department this year. Social Studies has been born at the cost of our courses in history. Geography has suffered most, having been entirely eliminated from the school curriculum. A novel and effective at- tempt has been made to popularize economics. Familiar experiences in the life of the student are related, leading the student to seek the fundamental trc what he observes. On the whole, the Social Studies Department forward this year in its tendency to remove the proverbial dryness from its courses by popularizing them. moved STEPHEN STANTON MYRICK, head of Q., QQ., . twat M. air ,t .6 COMMERCE First Row: Miss Hood, Mrs. McMahan, Mr. Evans, head, Miss Knapp, Miss Jacobs, Second Row: Mr. Wright. C-IRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical Education for the girls of Hollywood aims to achieve a balance and combination of mind, body, and moral development. Through our ac- tivity program and the organization of the two clubs, the Orchesis Club, and the Girls' Athletic Association, many opportunities for leadership and skill in development are offered to the girls. The sports season begins in September and continues throughout the year. In the spring a Twosome Tournament, Tennis Tournament, and a May Day Volley Ball Festival are held. All girls in Hollywood are eligible for the ac- tivity program, and it is the desire of the de- clevelopment of character and a wholesome in terest in the joy of play. LORENA V.

COMMERCE In October of l935, the Commerce Depart- ment was assigned permanent quarters in the new Science Building. This new arrangement has made possible a centralization of all work in Commerce with a resultant ease of coordina- tion and supervision that was impossible under the old system with Commerce classes scat- tered over the entire Campus. The Commerce Department now occupies the entire lower floor of the west wing, and a part of the sec- ond floor. The large office on the first floor, adjacent to the classrooms, is equipped with telephone and full messenger service. This affords a faculty and student departmental co- ordination which saves time, travel, and energy and adds very materially to the efficiency of the department as a working unit of the school. M. I.
