PHYSICAL EDUCATION COMMERCIAL Under wartime acceleration and the stress recently laid upon physical fitness, physical education has come into its own. Our physical educa- tion department has undertaken to condition students for the increased strain and hardships brought on by these unsettled times. Mr. Boyd and Miss Whallon, department heads, are assisted by Mr. Buckner and Mr. Sherck. Fast, vigorous, competitive games and scientifically designed calis- thenics are emphasized in the streamlined gym instruction pro- grams. Boys who have reached the age of seventeen must spend one hour each day in the gymnasium, and every able-bodied student, boy or girl, is required to attend gym class twice weekly. Ever present, but especially so dur- ing a time of war, is the demand for young people trained in commer- cial work. Ashland High's commer- cial courses, taught by Mr. Kent, Miss Kirkendall, and Miss King, are not limited to typing and short- hand, but include a study of corn- mercial law, oflice practice, retail selling, and office machines. One or two years of typing are offered to students for both personal or busi- ness use. Two years of shorthand give students skill in taking dicta- tion, while ofiice practice and pro- duction classes gain practical ex- perience in the use of oilice ma- chines by turning out mimeograph- ed tests. Many of these students are now using this skill in part- time jobs. L. .I. KENT Ashland College, B.S. in Ed SIDNEY R. BOYD A. L. BLICKNER MARY E.

FOREIGN Because of the growing need for a knowledge of the languages of other countries, an opportunity is given to students in Ashland High to study three foreign languages. Latin, taught by Miss Rickel and Miss Smith, furnishes a basis for study of the Romance languages- French and Spanish. At the same time it gives the student a chance to become better acquainted with our own English language. Second year Latin with its study of Cae- sar teaches much of Roman history and customs. Miss Stanley's French students not only study the French language but ART Art courses, taught by Miss Kohl, contribute to the cultural develop- ment of the student and help to foster artistic appreciation. Class work includes sketching from still life and nature, clay modeling, painting, and craft work. There is continual exhibition of outstand- ing class work in the corridors of the school building. Practical ap- plication of art training Finds ex- pression in co-ordination with other departments and organizations. This year, art classes made favors and center pieces for the infantile paralysis bridgeg they assisted the music and dramatics departments by painting stage sets. Joining in the patriotic spirit, they made pic- torial records for the high school bond drives. HELEN I.. KOI'II. Ohio State University, B.S. in Ed. 18 LANGUAGE are also encouraged to speak it. Further interest is fostered through the reading of French novels and plays. Signifying a growing awareness of the importance of our Latin Ameri- can neighbors, a course in Spanish was introduced into the high school curriculum this year. Miss Bowers instructed students in basic vocab- ulary, and by the end of the year the class was taking an active in- terest in conversing in Spanish. As extra curricular work, students read books and novels pertaining to the customs, history, and reli- gions of South American countries. MUSIC Under the leadership of Mr. Pete the music department has risen to a place of honor. Through excel- lent training and hard work the choir, the band, and the orchestra have achieved the reputation of be- ing among the finest of their kind in the state. The opportunity to study under music teachers is given to any mem- ber of the student body. Those stu- dents selected by Mr. Pete may then participate in the musical or- ganization of their choice. Because of the ever present com- petition among the members of the organizations, a high musical stand- ard must be maintained by each participant. LOUIS E.

VOCATIONS Increased recognition of the secondary school's function of training students in occupations for immediate use after graduation as well as emphasizing college preparatory work has resulted in the introduction of many vocational courses in Ashland High. Mr. Krill's students study a four-year course in farming and agricul- tural economics. Miss Mengert and Miss Lutz teach their home eco- nomics classes the psychology of home life as well as the art of sewing and cooking. Ashland High offers a very extensive curricula in industrial arts. Stu- dents who choose this field enter Mr. Chandler's introductory shop classes which are preliminary to mechanical drawing, woodwork, and machine shop, taught by Mr. Tipton, Mr. Buckner, and Mr. Groff, respectively. Mr. Gates gives his printing classes practical training through the printing of programs, advertisements, and tickets for the school. Because of the instruction they receive in these subjects, boys are able to fill skilled industrial positions upon their graduation from high school.
