Fine Arts and Domestic Arts Under the guidance of Miss Lyon and Mrs. Montgomery, the Art Depart¬ ment has gained school-wide recognition by aiding several class projects. They made posters for the Varieties, sketched the name plate in the guest book which we gave to the high school, designed the class seal, and further contributed so much throughout this book. An excellent example of inter- department co-operation was the class banner, designed in the art department and made by the sewing classes. W e are deeply grateful to the cook¬ ing classes and our advisers, Miss Richard¬ son and Miss Wyatt, who for the first time provided luncheons for the cast of the senior play during rehearsal weeks, and later they performed the huge task of making all the delicious refreshments for the Senior Prom, a hitherto untried experiment.

Pupils studying ancient, modern or American history this year found it treated not merely as a subject in itself, but con¬ nected with the vital moving events of the present day. By introducing new globular maps, the students obtained a clearer pic¬ ture of places in the news and their rela¬ tive distance. The classes of Miss Edna Turkington, the newly-appointed head of the department, and other history classes enjoyed weekly current events sessions and round table discussions. Mr. Wiggin, a member of this de¬ partment, has the lasting gratitude of many college-bound seniors for his sample college board tests to prepare them for the real ones which were less formidable after this valuable practice. Since history teachers were also homeroom teachers for more than half the seniors, we would like to thank them for their patience with our erratic comings and goings during this, the busiest year of our careers.

Miss Tucker and the Office Practice girls turned out class ballots, complete sets of guide sheets for Orientation Tour, and any number of extra forms for the class at a moment’s notice. Students of the Stenography Depart¬ ment, under Miss Carrie M. Darling, were given the important reponsibility of recording all the Guidance Institute speeches.
