Art and Music To create a love for the beautiful and to train the students in the executing of artistic designs have been the aims of the Art Department, supervised by Miss Humke. The Music Department, under Miss Jones, has become one of the most interesting in the school. Courses in music appreciation, chorus, glee club, and orchestra afford excellent training for the many students who annually choose a course in music as their elective. Vocational Department One of the greatest evidences that Mishavvaka is in step with the educational world is proved by an inspection of the course of study in the Vocational Department and the shops. This department offers training to those who wish to enter engineering colleges and those who wish to learn a definite trade or a variety of trades. Mr. Middleton is at the head of this department and he also is in command of the automotive shop. Mr. DeCroes and Mr. Sprague are teachers in the mechanical draw- ing and drafting departments. Trade mathematics is also taught by Mr. DeCroes. Mr. Needier has complete charge of the machine shop, and is able to train the boys to be- come skillful in industrial work of this type. Herbert C. DeCroes, Harold Goepert B.S., Dwight L. Marsee B.S., Clarence A. Needier B.S., Shelby S. Shake B.S. (7)

Frank M. Steele, Grayce Talbo tt, Ida L. Betts, Margaret Denton, Audrey Millikcn Physical Education A sound body and a sound mind is an old maxim, but the veracity of it is not forgotten in the Physical Education Department of Mishavvaka High School. Miss Talbott is the girls ' instructor, while Mr. Steele has charge of the boys ' athletic activities. In addition to the regular physical training course which is given two or three times a week, hockey, volleyball, basketball, football, tennis, and track play a prominent part in the interests of Mr. Steele and Miss Talbott, as well as the students. Miss Talbott is faculty sponsor of the Girls ' Athletic League, and her faithful in- terest in the success of this organization clearly proves her ability as a leader. She also holds the position of city athletic director for girls. Mr. Steele, besides having gained fame and popularity as the efficient football coach of Mishavvaka High Schol, is general director of city athletics. Coach Steele is also in charge of the city park play grounds during the summer. Office Staff Mishawaka High School is fortunate in having a very well-qualified and competent office staff. Miss Denton, an alumna of Mishawaka High School, serves as secretary to Mr. Cauble. Miss Milliken, another graduate, is in charge of the bookshop, and Miss Betts is Financial Secretary of the School Board. The bookshop provides an economical and convenient source for the purchase of school supplies. The profits derived from the sale of books and other supplies is used to obtain new books for the school library and to maintain the present collection. (8) □
