I ...a r f 1. f . :grill l I WI Art Department QQ RT when combined with life's environ- ment becomes a growing human benefit. The aim of the Art Department of Phoenix Union High School is to help each stu- dent to create for himself anexpressive and individual environment. First to cultivate taste, second, appre- ciation for the beautiful in nature and in archi- tecture, past and present, third, to give those with ability a foundation for work in higher schools. As the art of any people is a direct devel- opment of their needs, a study of history reveals the art of the past and some time is devoted to corelated history and art. The department offers the following courses: Cal Drawing Cfree handj. Special attention to figure. Cbj Principles of Design. These principles applied. Cel Principles of color. Applications. - Cdl Design in Historic Costume. fel Interior Decoration. Cfj Commercial Design Cpostersj. Cgl Lettering. Chl Craft Work-Dye-Batik-Gesso-Clay. All the work is applied to problems of the individual, the home, the school, and the community. The enrollment in the art classes for 1923 and 1924 has been very large and many, wanting the work, have not been able to get it, due to limited number of classes. This seems to be an indication that the students are interested in courses which will enable them to get more out of life. Besides regular work, the students of the department have engaged in the following activities: Posters for Athletics-Football, Basketball, etc. Posters for School plays, etc. Illuminated mottoes for school. Designs for aprons for Domestic Science Department CFall and Spring classesl. Plans for furnishing room for Girls' League oflice. Painting of furniture, dyeing of curtains, etc. Decorations and Booths for Girls' League Frolic, one of the classes taking first prize for best booth at Spanish Frolic. May Fete. Extensive study of dyeing and costuming. The Art classes conduct the Fashion Revue in Fete, which represents periods in history. Democracy of art is the cause for which to strive. Ennobling of daily and common work. Mus. Connetm PERKINS South I ' o' No al' Un' er, 'ty ofl 'no' ' Ch' go A ade y of F' e A ts.

Thus Miss McDaniel once taught a class in geometry and again, a class in algebra. Mr. Claude Decatur Jones and Mr. Elliott also served their turn in this Way. But by 1911 the school had grown so much that Miss Whitfield was placed at the head ofthe Mathematic,s department. With wisdom and taCt she gained the co-operation of her teachers and the good-will of all the students, who as a rule in those days enjoyed the courses in mathematics. So true was this, that Miss Johnson, a teacher of history, who came to us from a wide experience exclaimed, Never have I known so great happiness among the students in mathematics. We hear little or no complaint of the subject being hard and that is very unusual. With equal far-sightedness Miss Whitfield kept the courses increasing in interest and broadening in scope as the needs demanded. A comparison of courses and classes in 1911-12 and 1923-24 may be of interest to many. 1911-12 1923-24 No. or No. or SUB-IECTS CI.AssEs SUBJECTS CLASSES Algebra I and II .i........ 5 Algebra I and II .......... 24 Plane Geometry ........, Plane Geometry ........ . 15 Algebra III ............. . 5 Solid Geometry .....c...
