Art and music—the finer and more beautiful things of life—have been woven by the teachers into the pattern of our school days. Through physical training and hygiene and home economics, our instructors have trained us in more practical matters of everyday living. We now realize that so-called minor subjects are really of major importance in giving each of us greater understanding of ourselves and the world about us. First Row CHARLES C.
