HUMMEL MABEL POPE ELIZABETH STANNARD MELISSA WEST Languages Foreign languages aim to help our young people to have a better underf standing of four great people-the Romans, the French, the Spanish, and the Germans-peoples who are a part of Americas past and present. The students become familiar with the music, songs, dances, politics, legends, and literature of these nations. This familiarity helps them to solve presentfday needs-the need for clearer comprehension of what they read in newspapers, magazines, and books, and what they hear over the radio and see in the moviesg the need for a better command of Words in talking with others, an ability gained through a more colorful vocabularyg and the need for a more sympathetic understanding of other races and peoples. The department, through its five clubs, also strives to encourage creative ability, and provides an opportunity for making friends and developing responsibility and leadership.

TAYLOR Mathematics Mathematics is essential in all activities calling for the analysis of prob' lems involving quantitative relations. Everyone who buys or sells or borrows needs to apply mathematics in his daily life. The courses offered by the mathematics department furnish knowledge to solve such problems. Among the courses offered by this department are Algebra, Geometry, Trigonmetry. Geometry and Algebra students learn the use of the slide rule to solve problems. Trigonometry students study the operation of a transit and use it to solve problems in indirect measurement. In Solid Geometry they apply the principles of mathematics, photography, and mechanical drawing to visualize threefdimensional constructions. gQ ' LQ neg aa far 6 p gy GL X f a Pagejifteen !QJL!z fJ'v'-?l7'7.2w!'x ' I if f '25-ua.. x

HUNTER Boys Physical Education Head' Jnssnz BALTEZORE Girls Physical Education Head LYLE MASKELI. ANNE Nonvrzu. Commercial The idea of the commercial department is to give pupils an education in commercial subjects. They are better fitted to take care of personal necessities in bookkeeping and letter writing. A person who is able to keep a budget is more likely to achieve success along Hnancial lines. At this time there are six teachers in the department. Many students are enrolled in commercial courses which consist of Typing, Shorthand, and Bookkeeping. It has been suggested that a course in Business Mathematics be opened. This would give more practical experience. Phy ieal Education There are two divisions to the physical education program in the high school-boys and girls. In the former, every boy is expected to participate in some form of workg Calf isthenics, consistingof settingfup exercises and games are offered two or three hours per week. There are also health classes and in addition every boy is encouraged to participate in some form of sport such as football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, golf, rifle, or crossf country. Seniors and qualified athletes are excused from the indoor class requirement. The girls division covers a wide variety of activities such as sports, dancing, hygiene, and gymnastics. Four graded courses are oifered in the successive years. Organizations functioning actively within the department are: GAC, Racquet, and TifGirls groups, the latter being especially active in the outfoffdoors Held. Classes in advanced dancing and first aid have been especially popular. After school sports continue from September until June. Indoor tournaments are held during the year in volleyball, basketball, and base' hall thus engaging the attention of hundreds of girls.
