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.

With knowledge and tools of the trade, members of the DRAWING DEPART- MENT have for many years contributed to the number of skilled draftsmen and architects in the society of today. Modern houses and complex machines have flowed from the pencils of the advanced students. Beginning students have learned not only the basic techniques of mechanical drawing, but also the ideals of neatness and accuracy. Realizing the need for more young men and women in the scientific fields, the members of the SCIENCE DEPARTMENT used their skills and knowledge to teach students the fundamentals needed by future scientists. Not only did they bring out the applications of science as related to daily living, but through their classes in biology, chemistry and physics, they helped many students find interesting and useful careers.
