AFFILOIEO ARTI By demonstrating methods of artistic ex- pression, Pacific ' s art teachers endeavored to give pupils fuller and richer lives. The department created in students a familiarity with art mediums such as clay and paint. Since more than two-thirds of a person ' s life is spent in the home, home economics included seven subjects: child care, home nursing, preparation for marriage, manage- ment, clothing, and food. Several applied arts courses trained teen-agers for profes- sions such as engineering or medicine. To major in applied arts, one needed courses like commercial art, photography, home economics, choir, band or orchestra. The importance of off - campus performances was stressed, and there were numerous choral and orchestral programs; home- making students served atfaculty meetings, scholarship interviews, and social affairs. Photographic displays and architectural drafting contests animated student interest. Artisans, Future Homemakers of America, and other applied arts clubs aided the department. The Red Cross Home Nursing Kit, containing everything from a hospital bed to blankets and medical equipment, stayed on campus tor one quarter and then was used by other schools. Students who did well in Home Nursing received Red Cross certificates, allowing them to act as nurses in times of emergency. K 2. 26 i !

IIMI Often called upon to give recommenda- tions for jobs and to decide which student would receive the business scholarship at the end of the year, the teachers of Pacific ' s Business Department observed each pupil ' s progress in the acquisition and perfection of business procedures and the manipulation of office machines. They also stressed the importance of neat appearance and friend- ly attitude for a successful career. As an incentive to improve spelling, the National Office Men ' s Association offered pupils an opportunity to study for a series of spelling tests and awarded certificates of recommen dation, whichcould be usedwhen applying for work, to those who achieved perfect scores. Throughout the year the Better Business Corporation held Office days when the members dressed as if they were working in an office to emphasize the necessity of good grooming. At the B.B.C. meetings they often had guest speakers from down- town offices to explain the many positions open to a student majoring in business. 28 Paying rapt attention to their studies, Mrs. Ttiompson, Mr. Wolf, Miss Pieper, Mrs. McCoy, Mrs. Chausee, and Mr. Herron seemed totally unaware of Mr. Brown ' s just-wait-until-report-cards look.
