lf Professor l. Q. would listen in on one of our Math programs, he, no doubt, would find it to be splendid trainingeground for the type of mental gymnastics he sponsors over the radio, Algebra with its study of the formula, graph, directed number, and equations, geometry with its study in the application of geometric laws, and trigonometry with its training in the accuracy of numerical calculations-all these give a stu- dent the kind of training it takes to develop into the head-liners of tomorrow. Tune in every- body. Getting ready to explain ct teaser.

Courses in bookkeeping, commercial arith- metic and law present additional business ex- perience, and alter completion ot each added course, production becomes smoother and perf tormance surer.

Music has universal charm. . . . . . and we can sing at the work-bench too. FINE ARTS PRACTTCAL ARTS Mrs. Mary Hanley Kate Andrews Elsie lonas Otto Zoeller Selby Moore Ernest Rambo Mrs, Lucille Barron Mrs. Elo Ramsey R. V. Rust Giga Scholz Not pictured: Mrs. Emma Pirie ldling at a radio, we can usually find a range and scope of programs to suit all tastes. Station G. B. H. S. presents no less satisfying opportunities. Orchestral, band, choral and instrumental music present rich offer- ings. Major Bowes is no better talent scout than our own Mr. Zoeller and Mrs. Hanley who are ever alert to discover and encourage musical talent. Many future radio stars, no doubt, are now in training. Tuning in on yet another fine arts program, G. B. H. S. presents offerings in the visual arts that lead to a greater appreciation of beauty. Design runs a wide gamut, and modeling and sketching provides a chal- lenge and desire for self expression. Lettering is an exact art that calls for fine judgment. The practical arts program presents woodwork, mechanical and architectural drawing for the boys, and clothing, foods, millinery and home-making for the girls. Eor the first time, a boys' class in cooking is in progress. Station G. B. H. S. is receiving so much favorable comment on this special program for boys, that the serial will probably run on for years to come. Tune in, boys - it satisfies and edifiesl Page 30
