The earth vibrates with the sound of the spoken word. People in many coun- tries speak different languages, and at Po-Hi a student may learn Latin, Span- ish, or French. Through the learning of these languages a student obtains a better understanding and acceptance of other nationalities and their culture. The 'art department of Po-Hi im- presses its students with the importance of really seeing and not just looking at the beauty of the world. The year is divided into four parts.: charcoal draw- ings, color and design, lettering, and a choice of handicrafts. All of Po-Hi begins with the sound of music! In the glee club room, in the band and orchestra, the harmony and rhythm of music is heard, taught, and felt. The Future Farmers of America learn about their chosen profession in the courses offered by the Po-Hi vo- cational agriculture department.

The industrial arts department. which consists of auto mechanics, woodwork, machine shop, mechanical drawing, and printing, is essential to every school. Since many of the in- dustrial arts students end their formal education with high school, these cours- es form a basis for the students' ca- reers. Through use of the most mod- ern equipment and techniques, the 'shop students soon become proficient in the use of wood, electrical equip- ment, and printing devices. Each boy strives to improve his work and to leam more about each field in indus- trial arts so that when he begins his life in the community, he knows how he wishes to use his skills. With the training they received at Po-Hi, the industrial arts students find little trou- ble adapting to the tempo of the com- munity.
