HEALTH DEPARTMENT, .rtnndingf Mr. Witzke, Miss Bouressa, CAFETERIA: Mrs. Heckel. Mr. Black, .reatedr Miss Thanos, Mr. Dillon, Miss Gaertner. Faculty HEALTH DEPARTMENT A recreation for the most exacting taste and physical fitness for all are the provision of the physical educa- tion department. All those exercises have their purpose in correcting faulty posture or other physical defects. No student finishes a course in this department with- out basic knowledge of several sports. In addition to the valuable ability of learning to relax through sports, it is hoped that each student may learn to care for his body and understand it as the perfect piece of machinery that it is. The department obtains the health record of each student through the physical examinations of sopho- mores in cooperation with the Appleton Medical As- sociation and the Mantoux skin test administered with the aid of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculin Associ- ation. CAFETERIA Feeding hundreds of students and teachers every noon is a superhuman task accomplished by Mrs. C. P. Heckel. Much of het time is spent in planning well- balanced, nutritious, as well as tasty, meals. With her corps of student assistants she serves meals daily both promptly and with a smile. CUSTODIANS The efficient group of nine custodians keeps the build- ing and landscape of Appleton Senior High School spotless and free from maintenance difficulties. The duties of the custodians vary from doing electrical work, firing the huge boilers, making repairs about the building to arranging furniture and giving final touches to clean classrooms.

FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT: Mr. Kuemmerlein, Miss McKennan, Mr. Sager, Miss Clark, Mr. Moore, Miss Gerlach. Faculty FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT Many students at A.H.S. give vent to their energies through musicMband, orchestra, or chorus. These teachers led their respective groups in radio exhibitions this year, as well as a Christmas program and programs for other schools. The musical festival, held in Menasha this year, was another highlight of the season. Speech Work covers a Wide range of activities also. The speech classes provide the basic material, that is, experience in many different types of speaking and in the correction of speech difficulties. Dramatics, oratory, declamation, debate, and extemporaneous speaking are the other activities in which students can gain valuable speech experience. Art provides many services which benefit manAin- dustrial, educational, cultural, and creative. Art work at the high school is designed to allow each individual as much freedom of expression as possible. The art worker can develop his course either as a means of his own expression or as a preparation for future work. INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT The modern shops of A.H.S. provide the best of opportunities for students to find their own interests and aptitudes in the industrial arts. The carefully pre- pared courses, including some of the more specialized types of work for seniors, are intended to enable stu- dents to make a wiser choice in their life's work. In addition a knowledge of industrial processes and the knowledge of the arts themselves are taught in this department. HOME ARTS DEPARTMENT The art of home living and working with others is one skill which we all need. Our instructors' projects include food preparation, a special course for senior boys, clothing, sewing, and a study of consumer buy- ing. The management of resources, the rearing of children, and a place in which to live are a few of the topics which come under consideration in the courses offered in this department.
