V. ilsii-nl ,,,, M H g THE DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS Mr. WVebste1' Miss Kleinfelter Mr. Slater Miss Porter Educators today are emphasizing more and more the need for developing the aesthetic side of our lives. We have found that other things besides practical learning are necessary to give one a well-rounded course in the art of living. The Department of Fine Arts tries to develop an appreciation of the things which shall help us enjoy our leisure and our working hours to the fullest extent. Music, painting, sculpture, and drama have given us throughout the ages an opportunity to bring out this necessary something within us . Beaver Falls High School is offering to all its students the chance to enjoy and take part in these activities which will emphasize this inner sense of appreciation. The Art Department is this year offering painting, drawing, sculpture, etc., for those who desire to develop their tastes and skills in that field. The Drama Department has taken on new life in endeavoring to give opportunity to many who wish to enter and study the field of dramatization. The Music Department is offering an opportu- nity for the development of choral and instrumental groups capable of producing the best type of music, so that the listeners, as well as the participants, may gain an appre- ciation of this type of art. The fine equipment placed at the disposal of the Department of Fine Arts makes it imperative that a definite service be rendered to the school and community in furnishing all types of musical numbers for entertainments, decorations and art work for giving the desired atmosphere, dramatization, and plays for short entertainments. 22

' 31.14541 ...A i M THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT Dr. Mcl'al'ter Miss Lefates Probably no phase of school work presents a more complicated and colorful picture in actual performance than the program of the school physician and the school nurse. Through their relationship to parent, child, and teacher, they make available to them facts and understanding by which they may assume their particular share of responsibility in furthering the health of the pupil. ' Probably the greatest contribution which the school physician and the school nurse make is through individual instruction given to each student as his interest is aroused through the health service activities. It is often the unpleasant and painful experience in the clinic or health rooms that affords excellent opportunities for health education. Since the health is an objective of education, the school must know the health status of each child in order to set up a program which shall meet the needs of all. This is determined by the yearly examination of all the students by the physician. The 'health rooms in our new building-so adequate in size and window space-have done much to add interest and efficiency to this activity. Parents are invited to the school for the purpose of consulting the school physician and nurse, and they are coming in increasing numbers. Definite office hours are kept by both physician and nurse in order that parents, teachers, and students may know when to come for consultation. 'x 21

CAFETERIA Pictured above is a daily scene in the new spacious cafeteria of the Beaver Falls High School as depicted by a spectator during any noon hour. The Cafeteria is one of the many active organizations of our school and serves a very important and definite purpose. The cafeteria is one of the most up-to-date systems ever installed in a high school, and ranks with the best in the country in equipment and efficiency. The kitchen and its surroundings are the keynote of health and sanitation and are sym- bolic of a wholesome variety and the wide selection of food. The cafeteria is under the direction and supervision of Mrs. Irene Detrick who is ably assisted by Mrs. Birdie Craft, Blanche McKee, Eleanor Morgan, June Detrick, and Dorothy Schmidt. Weekly shifts consisting of two girls from the Home Economics Department assist in preparing, cooking, and serving food. These girls are seen daily in the kitchen and at the counter performing their duties. Two boys, Robert Fulton and Curtis Young, also receive training, having as their duties the washing of dishes. The latter was replaced by William Creighton the second semester. The cafeteria therefore not only provides food for the students and teach- ers of the school, but also provides practical educational experience in the art of preparing, cooking, and serving appetizing food. Mr. Bennett is the Cafeteria Cashier. 23 0 .
