Physical Fitness - 0414 quail .fine of fbefende To train the body as well as the mind is an essential step in preparing our future citizens. The boys have a full and varied athletic program which ably combines gym and water Work. The girls' program, which is less strenuous though fully as extensive, also includes pool and gym periods. Hygiene classes are offered to those who cannot participate in the regular physical education program. In the Spring, school physicians make a thorough examination of every student, and a registered nurse is always ready to remedy minor accidents of busy school life. Healthy bodies are our first line of defense. Anna M. Quirk-A.B. George Washington University. World Historyg Business English. Isabel Sourwine-A.B. Goucher. World History.

History - efzafzl can-cf eamyzcau of Nwlioual gnleaaalz The social sciences seek to guide the active citizens of tomorrow in making our nation strong and great. History, a colorful pageant of the ages, presents an intimate picture of the achievements of mankind which have fashioned our present civilization. Civics, Economics and Problems of Democracy seek to prepare the student for an active part in our government through a better under- standing of its problems. By studying geography, the junior high school pupil becomes thoroughly acquainted with this broad country and its position, geo- graphically and commercially, with foreign lands. Ellen Boynton-B.S.

The Most Useful of the Arts - Delightful and tempting smells issue from the cook- ing room as student chefs bring forth their savory dishes. Perhaps the production of tangible results from their efforts is one of many reasons why the art of cookery has become so popular. During the past few years, more and more boys have ventured into these classes where the girls once reigned supreme. Suitable classes are offered to those who wish to learn the basic principles of sewing and to those who wish more advanced work. In these classes, an in- creasingly large number of girls are learning to choose suitable materials, to make their own clothes, and to select the types of clothing which will best suit their needs and their budgets. In the woodworking shop, boys and some girls, too, learn to handle the different tools safely and efliciently. By doing creative work with their hands, these students are learning a practical art which in time, may become a hobby or a full time occupation. Working hand in hand with the rest of the school, these classes repair and refinish tables, chairs, and other small articles which may become broken. In this constructive way, the knowledge of the class rooms is put into actual use. In accordance with the newer trends of secondary education, Strong Vincent High School has provided a number of increasingly important departments whose purpose is to teach students to use theirlghands in a creative way.
