The members of the ART DEPARTMENT gave instruction in different types of art. They taught primitive as well as modern styles of drawing and design. Doing their best to develop the talents of artistic students, the art teachers offered classes in preliminary and advanced painting: poster painting, which included styles of lettering and designy ceramics, leatherworkingg art metal, and art history. This year the ENGLISH DEPARTMENT consisted of more than eighty class- room sections, ranging from dramatics, public speaking, and radio production to literature, journalism and remedial reading. The department also continued its program to develop students' skills in reading and oral and written expression. Since three years of English are required of each student for graduation, this was the largest department on campus. ROW I, left to right: Pauline Cheno wefh, M.A.g Fern Doe, A.B.g Joy Ruf, A.B.

The MUSIC DEPARTMENT was a great morale builder at BHS this year, not only for the music student but for the entire student body, as it sponsored various musical performances. In the vocal, instrumental and theoretical music courses offered by the department, each student received an excellent background study of music for his future musical Work, Whether in college or musical conservatory. This year the SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT tried especially to stimulate student interest in world events which have contributed to the gradual develop- ment of the United States. Teachers, particularly those teaching Government, discussed the past California state elections with students. In keeping with the department's chief objective to mold better citizens for the future, many classes tried to answer the student's questions concerning his posthigh school respon- sibilities. Courses offered ranged from World history and Pacific relations to sociology. ROW I, left to right: Philip L.
