ff X EVELYN SCHUMP English and Algebra Last September there were more Freshmen and Sophomores than the teachers could instruct, so Miss Schump was added to the faculty. Miss Schump teaches two Freshman English classes, a Sophomore Rhetoric class, a Freshman Science class, a Freshman Algebra class, and a Commercial Geography class, open to both Freshmen and Sophomores. The two Freshman English classes study Brook's Composition Book One. Besides this, Merchant of Venice, Sohrab and Rustum and The Lady of the Lake are read as classics. The Sophomore Rhetoric class studies Brook's Book Two. This class reads the following classics: Silas Marner, Sir Roger de Coverley and Julius Caesarg while book reviews are required of this class, as well as of every English class every month. Miss Schump's Science class uses the Snyder Text. The study deals with science in general. This is the first year it has been taught in the Upper Sandusky schools. The Sophomores and Freshmen studying Commercial Geography use the Trotter edition. Last, but by no means least, is Miss Schump's Algebra class. The Cajori and O'Dell Text is used, which is less diflicult than the text used in former years. So it can be seen that Miss Schump has somewhat Varied and difficult subjects to teach, yet she has made herself more than equal to the occasion. Written by HELEN KUENZLI. 16

., ,WNW NOLA G. BATES Home Ecmzofmics Home Economics is a new department in our High School, being established in 1915. During the first year, although there was no labora- tory, the work was under the supervision of Miss Helen Ashcraft of Mt. Vernon. The course consisted in the study of the convenience of house plans, textiles, care of the sick and injured, the planning and serving of meals and some time was also devoted to sewing and to the learning of the different stitches. But this year a new laboratory was equipped and a more efficient and complete course was offered to the Senior and Junior girls. Under the management of Miss Nola Bates of Columbus, the girls have been given a very eflicient and instructive course of study consisting of a study of textiles, of the classification, selection and preparation of foods, planning of dietaries, and also a period of two days a week was devoted to plain sewing. Each one of the girls made her own outfit for the laboratory. Judging from the amount of work accomplished and the interest mani- fested by the girls, this course is proving to be one of the most beneficial departments of the High School.

GLADYS KEMERLEY M usic The music department of our High School is not the least by any means, but is an important factor in the High School course. We heartily agree with Shakespeare that: The man who hath no music in himself, Nor is moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is lit for treasons, strategems and spoils. Duly a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Miss Gladys Kemerley, of Carey, our sister city, was secured. She came highly recommended, and very ably fills the position of musical director. Early in the year the High School Chorus of sixty voices was organ- ized With the aim of studying music more thoroughly. The most delight- ful hour in the whole week is on Wednesday morning, when the chorus sends its harmonious notes forth into the High School room, with the piano accompaniment by Miss Barbara Farber. At last the long awaited musical occurred at 'the Auditorium. The eight grades also took part in the program with their splendid drills, but the crowning events of the evening occurred when the chorus sang Land of Freedom and The Soldiers' Chorus, and beautifully rendered America, while the statues of Liberty and Peace were shown in tableau.
