Fine Arts Fine Arts Fine Arts ,405 Zemin Wake Me SAM Designing costumes, planning stage sets, and decorating thea- ters show different ways in which art and drama are allied in inter- est. Types of work which have been undertaken are the modeling of clay, oil paintings, charcoal sketches, watercolor and crayon drawings, and posters. Miss Zellner's stu d e nts have done carvings, oil paintings, car- toons, character pictures, and panels. ln Miss Pruitt's classes, they have done embroidery on purses and rnade doll heads for collec- tions. Miss Crego's classes have drawn the posters for advertising the first Ottawa Hills Pow Wow.

Miss Davis's personal regimen classes have kept notebooks on good grooming, posture, person- ality, and manners. Under the supervision of Miss Iackson, a food budget for a W.P.A. family has been worked out to give the girls practice in planning menus on a limited in- come. The girls look forward every year to going to East Lansing in the spring for the open house which is sponsored by the home economics department at Michi- gan State College. Miss Pruitt is looking at a figure which she modeled. .. ,, .. A fig u-f'..,w ' ,,. . ,MM 4 W. A .:i '4 ' 1u'kb7fn,: iwsil, 1 t , bi, N- 'X9' - l l it ' v in N' 'L ' V?

This is the type of practi- cal application of class work which our mathematics depart- ment under the chairmanship of Miss Seegmiller tries to impress upon the students who are in their mathematics classes. Iunior high arithmetic, a year and a half of algebra, a year of plain geometry, a half year of solid geometry, and a half year of trigonometry are offered at Ot- tawa Hills. ln making plans to go on to col- lege it is often wise to take all the mathematics possible in high school. Miss Creaser's G e o m e t r y I classes have made some phono- -14- graph records for which the pupils themselves wrote the dialogue and read the parts. The pupils in Miss Elsie Davis's arithmetic classes have been studying the travels of checks. Each person in the class wrote a check and then watched its travels through the bank where it was deposited, the clearing house, and the bank on which the check was drawn. For the outside projects which each student must hand in each semester in Mr. Toland's classes, the pupils have made posters showing the uses of geometric de- signs in architecture and engi- neering, they have built models of several types illustrating how the principles of geometry learned in class may be applied, and they have drawn diagrams explaining certain complicated theorems.

Some of the older novels have been read and at- tention tocused upon Interesting Words. Scenes have been written to be added to As You Like lt. Both Class and individual newspapers have been compiled and edited. Scrapbooks have been made with literary material of historical and present-day interest. One of the classes studied expense ac- counts and investments. Another class had an ex- hibit ot hobbies at the spring open house. ln addition to student play production, the dra- matics classes have spent much time in constructe ing model stages and making sketches of costumes and stage sets, Third row: Ieannette VanderVelde.
