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 .

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

The casual observer in our new High School Auditorium, upon first glance in the direction of the footlights, would gain the impression that the architect must have toiled diligently to reproduce Shakespeare's observation in a material way. It is indeed huge. And yet it is so entirely satisfactory. Measuring Iifty feet in breadth and thirty feet in depth, it is equipped as few high school stages in the entire country. It is furnished with white, blue, and red lights from foot-lights and border-lights. The switchboard furnishes rheostatic control for practically every light in the Auditorium. In addition, the stage is furnished with a Velure Curtain, Asbestos Curtain, Cyclorama, one fine Exterior and two complete Interior Sets. Four sizeable dressing rooms are in place with running water in each room. The main body of the Auditorium is in keeping with the wide and deep with good lighting and generous ventilation, that it conveniently and easily seats srixteen hundred people, and audibility it is in a class of its own. All in all, it is a magnificent outlay and one of which we Let us hope that with such a laboratory, all plays presented of the setting, and that we may one day cultivate the theatre Falls to a truer understanding of the art of the stage. 24 size of the stage.
