ART 101 ART CLASS, AMANDA WESSELL, INSTRUCTOR Springfield High School offers on opporfunity of four years credit in Art to every student who desires it. There ore the regular first and second year courses of Art, besides the advanced course for third and fourth year students. These courses include drawing, designing, painting and perspective. The Art Appreciation course is a one-semester course which many Seniors and others who have not taken the regular Art courses often find valuable. This subject takes in a broader scope of art to include art in our personal appearance, homes, surroundings, and business. Many stu- dents have expressed the belief that this is a worth-while addition to our high school curriculum. ■ ' ' ' . Spreading out into a still broader field, the Art Department this year cooperated with the History Department in presenting a correla- tion course of Ancient and Medieval History and Art. This was possible as this history course deals mainly with the art and achievements of various peoples. The course is mode interesting with the use of a good reference book and lantern slides, and gives the students a vivid, realistic picture of Ancient times. Such a course con interest and educate students much more rapidly and efficiently than through textbooks alone. At the end of the first semester of this year, the Art Department also provided a source of special attraction to students in the form of the new bulletin board just outside room 208. This creation has served not only to exhibit the work done by the Art Department but has been o con- tribution to the beauty of S. H. S. [28]

. ENGLISH r DRAMA CLASS, MARGARET ROURKE, INSTRUCTOR Recognized as one of the five best in the United States for its de- velopment ond organization, the English Department headed by Miss Susan Wilcox and with a rostrum of seventeen teachers, has attained national fame. There ore six points which mark it as outstanding: 1. Organization to prevent duplication of material in the courses, resulting in a steady development through each year. 2. A library has been built up, second to no other High School library, which provides references ond usable classroom material. 3. Seven electives: Journalism, Scribblers, Drama, Debote, Public Speaking, Advanced American Literature, and Contemporary Literature are offered besides a regular fourth year course. 4. Thorough segregation permits the greatest possible individual progress. 5. A third year college prep survey course, advised for every col- lege prep student, is offered which takes up a thorough study of great works of English literature from the first Anglo-Saxon tales and songs to the works of modern writers. 6. It has a roster of honor students who are contributing to the best mogazlnes of the country, who have won prizes for creative writing and who have attained scholastic honors which have added distinction to the whole school. Progress in the English Deportment this year is shown by the greater emphasis on vocabulary as a requisite for success, development of o second year college preparatory course centering around every phase of American Literature, and the course for students without college plans adopted to their special needs. The English department aims every year to make it possible for the students to see at least two good plays or two good assemblies of the literary order. [291
