High School and College girls are able to train for this opportunity and duty in the Home Economics courses of today. Phoenix Union High School offers six semesters work in its Home Economics Depart- ment. The courses are classified as Food Study, and Clothing Study. The aim of Food Study is to train the girl to be a better home member and homemaker by developing habits of neatness, accuracy, economy, and directness of work, to teach the underlying principles of the preparation and serving simple meals and the fundamentals of house-keeping. The ad- vanced courses in Foods develop skill in preparation and planning of meals and unformal entertaining thru practice in cooking and serving, thru study of food values and well balanced meals, proper equipment and appointments. Because of a great need some work is given to the care and feeding of children of various ages, the diet in diseases of children and adults. In the clothing courses the fundamentals of plain sewing are taught. Attention is given to the relative merits of garments made in class and the ready-made pieces: considering cost, choice of materials, color, quality, workmanship and time in making. In the advanced courses all garments are made to complete a costume fa dress and hatj. Simplicity and economy are emphasized as well as color, suitable design, and appropriate dress for the occasion. Necessity is, in truth, the mother of invention. It has been found necessary for girls and women to make housekeeping and home-making a business and a profession. With this in view the Home Economics Department of Phoenix Union High School has in its above courses en- deavored to train the girl in the fundamentals of home-making, in con- fidence in the repetition of processes, and in economy of time.

gEMfTMl The 2.45 9 .Mill H Z . lihdmiml Mechanical Arts Department HE Mechanical Arts Department of P.U.H.S. was organized in 1912 and housed in the Tin Barn across the Canal until 1921 when the present magniiicent building was completed. From a beginning of one teacher and thirty students the department has grown to have six teachers and nearly three hundred students. At first, wood work only was taught, now we have courses in Mechanical drawing, descriptive geometry, carpentry and joinery, planing mill, pattermnaking, forge work, machine shop prac- tice and printing. R. lzer Turner the present head of the department, has been with us since 1913. Mr. Turner is a graduate of U. of A. and teaches Mechani- cal drawing and descriptive geometry. H. H. Heidenreich, in charge of the Wood shop, has been with us four years and comes from the ,University of Oregon and Oregon Agri- cultural College. Mr. Heidenreich is assisted by W. H. Waters, who is a patternmaker by trade and received his education in the Drexel Insti- tute, Delaware. This is Mr. Waters third year in Phoenix. Mechanical Drawing and Descriptive Geometry, branches of graphical mathematics, form the basis of the language spoken by engineers. Where- ever you go, the wide world over, you will find this the universal lan- guage of the builder and constructor. These subjects are dry and diflic ult, but are interesting to one who has the stuHf', of which engineers are made. The wood shop courses speak for themselves. Many exercises for both use and beauty are built at the bench or turned out on the lathe. Special attention is given to finish. The aim of these courses is cultural but they are strongly pre-vocational as well. The courses in forge and machine shop have enabled many boys to go out and do all the forge work necessary on a farm or earn a good living in a machine shop, and they do much useful work for the other departments. There is no finer example of wrought iron work in the state than the street lamps in front of the Auditorium designed and forged in our own plant. The boys built our bleachersg lining on basket ball goalsg to mention only a few. The print shop is a place of all work and no play, but the boys save the school several thousand dollars annually, besides laying the founda- tion for a very lucrative and useful trade. There are jobs now waiting every boy that completes a years work in the print shop. R. lzeu TURNER VVILLIAM WATERS Ph. B. University of Arizona.

u.L Wf'd 's. w E . !MaIiT1:eiDh62nic1an fm. Mff ll ill v A Music Department HE music department of the Phoenix Union High School consists of the Band and Orchestra and the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. Students who wish to study on any band or orchestra instrument receive private lessons from Mr. Etzweiler, who is the head of the department, free of charge. They take two lessons a week and receive one-quarter credit a year for this work. The band members receive one credit a year, the orchestra members one-half credit, and the Glee Club members one-half credit. The Band was organized this year with 24 members, and has been increased to 35. A number of students taking instruction give the prospect of the band next year being even better than this. Each year we try to improve. The music department gave a concert on February 7. This concert was the first of its kind ever attempted by the music department. A number of the students played solos. Credit was given all who played toward getting a Coyote emblem. They had to qualify as follows: Public Performance, twenty-five per cent, Perfect Attendance, twenty-live per cent, Deportment, twenty-five per cent, Grade in all Studies, twenty- five per cent, Total, one hundred per cent. The following is a list ofthe boys who qualified for the Coyote Emblem: Captain August Rau, First Lieutenant Roscoe Mills, Second Lieutenant Wallace Greene, Corporal Kent Thayer, and Corporal Charles Sisson. The proceeds of the concert were used to get uniforms for the band. The orchestra of 14 members has done a lot of work this year. They have played for all the school plays, several times in assembly, and their work has always been praised and the class of music always said to be the best, such as The Bohemian Girl selection, So Long Letty , Take It From Men, etc. The Glee Club under the direction of .Mrs. Gandy surely have done good work. They have sung in assembly several times and on such oc- casions were always well received. They were a big feature in making the concert on February 7 a success. The Music Department of the Phoenix Union High School stands for better music. ALBERT ETZWEILER Graduate of Combs Conservatory of Music, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. MRS. AMY C.
