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.

At the beginning of the school year, each girl enrolling in the work is given a physical examination. Her height, weight, and lung capacity are tabulated, her posture and the condition of her teeth is noted. This record is kept on the same card for four years so her development may be easily traced. Classes in Physical Education meet two periods each week. The day outside is devoted to practice of the elements of various games and to the playing of these games. Volley Ball holds sway in the Fall. This is followed by Basket Ball and in the Spring the classes take up Indoor Base-ball. The girls are given Athletic Badge test which are put out by the Play-ground and Recreation Association of America. These are a test of a girl's skill and co-ordination in bodily movements. One day a week classes meet in the gymnasium for marching, setting up drills and folk dancing. Freshmen girls are given a choice of enrolling in class of. folk dancing or of beginning tennis for a third period a week in addition to their regular two periods in Physical Education. Sophomore, Junior, and Senior girls may enroll for three periods in Aesthetic dancing or tennis in addition to their two regular periods in Physical Education. The Annual May Fete which is put on each year by the girls of the Physical Education department is a culmination of the year's work in the dancing classes. For the girls who are interested in Athletics, a well developed point system is used. After school practice is held in Volley Ball, Basket Ball, Indoor Baseball, Tennis and Swimming, and girls are awarded a certain number of points towards their school letters or sweaters for making their class or school teams in these sports. The girls are fortunate in having the use of a large gymnasium for their class work, with showers and dressing rooms. The Physical Education Department aims for the all round de- velopment of the girls of Phoenix Union High School through the various activities offered, and tries to give to each girl a love for clean play and recreation with skill in one sport which will last her through life. . - MEQXRGARET HURLEY NFLL TIRRFLL ELGLNIA KENNAN a tv U W ww' 'ZW' fw ll a. ,aa Myra . .mums 'I A University o Ciliformi A V1 E .
