W ln Memoriam ANUAL sustained a very great loss in the passing of Miss Corienne Illingworth on February 21, 1935. Miss Illingworth, a teacher at Manual for over twenty years, was one who gave herself whole-heartedly and unselfishly to the work to which she devoted her life. Miss Illingworth was a resident of Peoria from her early girlhood days. She received her early education in Peoria public schools, and later she was graduated with high honors from the University of Chicago. She became a teacher at the Franklin School and later came to Manual as a teacher of commercial geography, which position she held until ill health forced her to withdraw from her school duties. Miss Illingworth's Hne scholarship, her kindly, sympathetic understanding of her pupils, her many cultural interests have endeared her to hundreds of students who have sat in her class room. She will be greatly missed, but the memory of her exemplary life will remain with her associates on the faculty and with the students of Manual. Q i 1 . I

IDEPARTMENTS A .rlmliofzr KQIYPII 17 in 207 The School ot Work N THE short scenes of our lives which are laid in Manual Training High School, we are taught to make our dramas of life worthwhile. Dramas cannot be of one type alone, nor are our preparations for those future acts of one kind. Thus Manual has a wide variety of courses planned to meet the diverse needs of her pupils. In order to produce successful actors on the universal stage, the English Department devotes one semester each year to grammar and self-expression, the other to the study of the works of masters of literature. For the practical-minded student there is offered a course in business English, which emphasizes especially the writing of business letters. In the Speech Department pupils are taught to think and to express themselves effectively. The work ranges from two-minute speeches through formal twenty-minute lecture recitals and the interpretation of three-act plays. In the History Department the student learns of the great actors in the historical dramas presented throughout the ages. From these he learns to be a better citizen.
