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.

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.

SENIOR COUNCIL An artist of distinct quality is Ashland High School, a specialist in the field of educational painting. Many have heard of her and gazed upon her works, but now she has just finished her most wondrous painting. When she un- veils this work of art to the world this june, all critics will honor and acclaim it as her masterpiece. Only after four years of arduous work did Ashland High School finish her painting. Each year she added stroke after stroke, be- coming more and more confident as she near- ed the termination of her labors, until the finished product appeared-the Class of '44. The first year Ashland High School drew an outline for her painting. She sketched with quick, nervous strokes- the freshmen as they entered the algebra classroom for the first time, or as they brooded over a Latin note- book. As her subjects became adjusted, the artist became more assured and by the end of the first year Ashland High School had sketched the design that would serve as a working plan for the next three years. The second year the artist added basic colors as she depicted the Class of '44 making known its presence in athletics, scholarship, and music. Ashland High School took great care in the painting during this yearg for she knew that if the basic colors were not perfect, the finished product would not attain a place of honor in the world. As she looked upon her work at the end of the year, she wondered if perhaps in this yet unfinished canvas lay the culmination of her art. The third year the painter added the brilliant colors of a junior-the colors symbolizing the election of a junior cabinet, the choosing of class rings, and the maroon and silver of the new junior flag. She painted dashes of gay color to depict the class play, Mr. and Mrs. North, and dashes of blue and yellow to por- tray Holland, the imaginary setting of the Junior-Senior Prom. At the end of the third year the artist felt sure that this would be a creation worthy of her past reputation. The last year was devoted to applying the final colors and completing the deep back- ground. Now the artist depicted the Class of '44 as the leader in organizations, athletics, music, and dramatics. Here and there was added a somber color to represent the mem- bers of the class that went off to warg and then a dash of bright color to represent the Senior Class play, Junior Miss, and the picture was nearing completion. With a few final strokes the painting was finished, and as the artist, Ashland High School, gazed upon her work, she realized that here was her masterpiece-a masterpiece worthy of being hung in the gallery of life. -Russell Geisinger
