Faculty Departments The HISTORY IJEPIXRTMICNT, aimy, first, to make more intelligent citizens and also to try to develop a broad tolerance toward other nations and people. The second aim is cultural. The department believes the students who learn to like and appreciate history will find a profitable and inexpensive use for their leisure hours. The FOREIGN LANGUAGIC lDlfI'.XRTMIiNT, with Miss Chappell. head, is probably one of the most interesting in school. It offers four different courses: fier- man. French, Latin and Spanish. Learning other tongues tends decidedly to develop accuracy and habits of industry and perseverance. It is an aid to a clear understanding of the English language, and it assists greatly in enriching the vocabulary. The M,-X'IlH'fCM.'XTICS DF1P.XRTMlCNT, headed by Mr. Kirschner, ranges from the simple course of Mathematics to Algebra IV or College .'Xlgebra. VX7e are now living in a machine age and those boys who are at present studying to be engineers find that in any line they wish to enter. mathematics is essential for the foundation. For those that are not entering this field is found an economic use for mathematics and an appreciation of its value in art, design and space relationships. The ARTS .NND CRAFTS IJlCF.XR'llMiCN'l' offers a varied list of interesting subjects from Art I, a study of the principles of design and color, to Art VIII which takes up illustration. The crafts division of the department is for the purpose of ap' plying design to useful articles such as leather tooling, hooked rugs and needle work. The MUSIC DICPARTMENT offers a varied course of study both instructive and interesting' to the 'tver'1U'e student. The different subjects are the A Cappella Choir, with 25- f fb a membership of ninety, singing the best choral literatureg a class in piano study and the Senior and -lunior Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. The course continues with Senior and junior Orchestra of approximately fifty pieces each, and for the boy musicians, the band is offered featuring fifty boys. understanding of music.

So that the students may get a better understanding of different types of literature, the different literature courses include extensive class room libraries used to enrich and vary students' reading. Classes are adjusted to permit the formation of groups of likc capabilities. The INDUSTRLXI, ARTS DlfI'4XR'l'NlENT has accomplished much of which it may be proud. its boat-buliding classes have won state-wide recognition because of their fine craftsmanship. The stage construction class under this department is re- sponsible for the designing. building and manipulating of all scenery on Roosevelfs stage. All the shops and the drawing and lettering classes are also a part of this helpful department. The SCIENCE l1JlfPAR'l'MlfNT offers one of the most fascinating courses of study because the subjects involved are ever changing. lt is the aim of the depart- ment to make the students see things in a scientific way. The teachers are greatly pleased with the interest these students have shown in getting acquainted with everyday science. The HOMIE ECONOMICS DliP.'XRTMENT. which is divided into the Foods and Clothing sections, was once considered a field for women only. Time has wrought a change in this sentiment, however, and in the last four years the enrollment of boys ' has increased over one hundred and fifty percent. Une of the most popular classes in Home Fconomics is Home Manafrement. 4 h The C1 JMMFZRCLXI, lJl'iP.XRTMlfNT, in addition to the technical business train- ing offered. serves as the students' business department. Practical experience is gained by students in the secretarial and bookkeeping work in connection with activity posi- tions. Thirty selected students are trained to do secretarial and mimeograph work which saves teachers much time. Ttccli ly- Two
