Algebra has been called generalized arithmetic, it requires the same accuracy of thinking as geometry but less reasoning. The principal value of plane geometry is that it exercises and develops the reasoning power. Solid geometry is required for entrance to engineering schools. Trigo- nometry is very valuable because it is so widely used in the exact sciences. The commercial department offers two years each in shorthand, typewriting, and bookkeeping, one year in office training, one term each in Business English, arithmetic, geography and law. Graduates of the stenographic division begin work in business offices without further training. Advanced students get ex- perience and render service to the school by acting as secretaries for teachers and school officials. The two-year bookkeeping course- prepares the student to be a bookkeeper for a small business. Judging by enrollment, the practical arts in Br-ackenridge show an increas- ing popularity. Foods, clothing, home management, interior decoration, and millinery form the home economics group. In the clothing classes leisure-time activities have been encouraged. The home economics courses seek to give the girls a broad understanding of the duties and responsibilities of the home. The wood-working classes are always filled to capacity. The mechanical and archi- tectural drawing classes have increased since instruments are now provided. Music and art comprise the fine arts in our school. Music includes chorus, theory, harmony, and orchestra. A girls' chorus will sing for commencement this year. The Brackenridge Orchestra plays for various occasions in the school, city, and state. The art courses givc instruction in still life, landscape, figure drawing, design, clay modeling, soap sculpture, free-hand lettering, and poster work. Selected students spend many hours on the art work for La Retamta. The Department of Speech offers public speaking, debate, extempore speak- ing, and dramatics. Public speaking, now prerequisite for other speech courses, aims to give experience in the organization and delivery of original speeches. In debate Brackenridge is city champion for the tenth consecutive year. A larger number enrolled for debate this year than ever before. Brackenridge boys won the 1934 city contest in declamation and extempore speaking. The dramatics students staged two very successful shows this year. Physical education is a required subject for all students in Texas high schools. Boys may substitute R.O.'T.C. or athletics. As physical education is a half-time subject, another half-time subject must be chosen to alternate with it. The student has his choice of chorus, lettering, public speaking, or physiology. Through physical education and athletics, the student should gain physical efficiency above all, but other benefits to be derived are leadership, sportsman- ship, and interest in healthful recreations. sm-wu.a.4..s.A.M.i.......,.Ms t..o..fs....J,.v,. ., e.-Aga.
