Grammar, of course, is a necessity, but it is made interesting through various journeys in literature, which include works and stories by famous French authors, such as Alexandre Dumas, Guy de Maupassaiit, and Victor Hugo. Reading and conversaf tion in French vary the work to a great FINE ARTS Art and music are required courses in the junior high school and give chiefly the foundation for an appreciation of the fine arts. The senior art department prepares the art material for all three school pubf lications and also advertising material for school entertainments. The vocal division of the music def partment offers voice culture, harmony, two glee clubs and an A Capella Choir. From the latter, members are sent to an allfcity choir. The junior and intermediate orchestras prepare the junior high people for the senior band or orchestra. In these sec' tions of music, conducting is a part of the practice. Members from the orchestra are sent to the Inter High Symphony. CXt6!'lt. Mary Horn, A.B. Q llzl Eleanor Verdier A.B.

SOCIAL SCIENCE The social science department of Ottawa Hills is one that any school could be proud of. Modern history, American history, economics, and American governf ment are offered in the senior high, and American history, civics, World history, and ancient history in the junior high. Ancient history, taught by Miss McCarty, is a study of events from the earliest years of man through the Renaisf sance. Miss Caldwell teaches modern his' tory, which takes up the story where ancient history leaves oil and brings it up to the present day. The instructors in world history, a condensed form of ancient and modern history, are Mr. Cook and Miss Lalley. Miss McCarty, Miss Lalley, Mr. Kremble, and Mr, Giddings have the American history classes, which study the rise of our country. Two semesters of this are required for graduation. American government is the study of what goes on in the state, national, and local governmental organizations, and eco' nomics is the study of man's needs and how he provides for them. Both of these classes are taught by Mr. Kremble. In the junior high, civics corresponds, although more elementary in nature, to American government in the senior high. In the same Way, pupils in the American history classes of the junior high study practically the same thing, in a simplified form, as the senior students. Miss Paxton, Miss Loew, Miss Lalley, Miss Watrous and Miss Holcomb teach these subjects. Y Y: , , jmgfgg . . ' XXV' ' , III 1 , . Qffffd .
