FACIJ LTV TITE great problem facing the instructors of the modern high school is to teach the coming generation to weigh, to discriminate, and to evaluate the essential ways of living. Turning boys and girls into young men and women capable of applying themselves to the important problems that rise every day is an accomplishment worthy of high acclaim. The faculty of Hyde Park has successfully accomplished this, which is the reason that the students of Hyde Park will always be indebted to them. At the head of our faculty is the Administrative Staif. Mr. Joseph F. Gon- nelly, principal, has two assistants, Mr. Archibald Smalley, and Mr. Van Hise, the latter in charge of the Branch. To lighten the work of the assistants the following Student Advisers have been appointed: Miss Janet P. White and Mr. Ralph Williams for Junior and Senior girls and boys, and Mrs. Sarah L. Priddy and Mr. Barnard Broek for Freshman and Sophomore girls and boys. Mrs. Mary L. Vursell, Miss Anne Buckley, Miss Marie Hurney, and Miss Helene Cranby constitute the oiiice force. To advance the knowledge of the students in the fundamentals of learning, to give them a complete and adequate background, to show them the way to coordination of thought and action, to build up mind and body, to teach them in follow a chosen profession, and to give them the ability to appreciate and enjoy life and literature, are the purposes of the courses of study taught at Hyde Park. These courses are divided into Departments, each 'having a chairman. Miss Buchanan ,heads the English Department, Miss Jackson, the Latin, Miss Johnson, the Frenchg Miss Witte, the German, and Miss Peede, the Spanish. The Social Science Department is under the leadership of Mr. Hippleg Mathe- matics under Miss Shoesmithg and Commercial under Mr. Byland. The Science and the Manual Art Department are Without special chairmen. Mr. Robinson is in charge of Musicg Miss Bigelow, of Art, Coach Hasan and Mrs. Perham of Physical Education, while R.O.T.C. is in the care of Sergeant Stamper. The subjects taught under these courses are English, Latin, French, German, and Spanish, many varieties of ancient as well as modern History, a wide Held in Mathematics, and various branches of science. The Commercial Department offers subjects that are suitable for future omce workg cultural expansion is gained through the study of Music and Art, bodily development comes through Physical Education and R.O.T.C. Cooking, Sewing, or Woodshop is offered by the Manual Art Department. These subjects not only are made more attractive and more interesting, but also give further methods of extending the knowledge of the student by the many extra-curricular activities offered in connection with them. To sum it up, the counsel of the Administrative Staff, the teaching of the Faculty, and the experience derived through attendance of the above courses, all lead to the making of capable and of worthy civic-minded men and women.
