JOB PREPARATION STARTED Typical of American schools today, the vocational and business depart¬ ments of Astoria High School offer the students a broad choice of subjects which increase their skills and talents. Basic fundamentals in crafts and trades are taught in well-equipped shops and business rooms. Shutter Bugs, as amateur photog¬ raphers are often called, are instructed in the essential tricks of photography. Distributive Education is offered to those students wishing part-time em¬ ployment during school hours. Such a program grants that the students re¬ ceive school credit for their work as well as for their academic courses. Child care is studied in home economics. Mr. Baesler demonstr ates the rudiments of typing to the voca¬ tional and business teachers. Looking on are Mr. Jensen, Mr. Hauh- tala. Miss Baker, Miss Hugg, Mr. Rothwell, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Hie- stand, and Mr. Fink.

Language arts teachers conferring on a mutual problem are Miss Curry, Mrs. Egan, Mrs. Swanson, Mrs. Christensen, Mrs. Nopson, Miss Thorne, Mr. Basaraba, Mr. Sanders and Mr. Carlson. LANGUAGE SKILLS ESSENTIAL Learning to write well can be a purposeful, satisfying experience, and writing is one of the fields which the language arts department stresses in its course of study. Read¬ ing, listening, and speaking are other skills improved through train¬ ing. Recent increased interest in classes of French, Latin, and Spanish indicate that Astoria students realize the value of bilingual study. Other electives which offer activ¬ ities as well as class work are speech, journalism and drama. Miss Thorne makes learning a foreign language a memorable experience for her students. 15

P. E. DEVELOPS BODY, MIND Although usually found supervising physical education classes, Mr. Mosby, Mrs. Layton, and Mr. Phillips are seen relaxing for a minute on the horse, a piece of the gymnasium equipment. Fitness Important Physical Education is a very important part of a school ' s program because it is the only course which helps a student improve his physical as well as his mental abilities. The exercises, sports, and games are essential to normal bodily growth and well-being, while they also teach a student teamwork and aid him in developing qualities of both a follower and a leader. Although P.E. is a required course for lower classmen, many juniors and seniors elect to con¬ tinue gym classes because they enjoy a daily workout and the athletic activities. Dan Brandon works out on the bar in the gym while Kenneth Brown and Eugene Hughes act as his spotters. 17
