AGRICULTURE Mr. Hartshorn has charge of our Agriculture Department. Animal Hus- bandry is, perhaps, the most important phase of this department. Stock- judging is taken up with Animal Husbandry. Trips are made through the surrounding country to judge stock. There are some fine animals in our community. I he hoys learn to fit horseshoes and how to weld and temper iron. '1 hey also learn how to operate and repair gas engines. Farm book- keeping is taught, so that when the boys get to farming for themselves they will know how to make it a profitable business. A course in farm-building construction is offered. File boys bring milk and cream from home and test it here. 1 hey know just what their milk is testing, and. as a result, which cows are profitable. Our prospects for a winning stock-judging team are fine. Last year one of our men was second high-point man in the state. Our team took fourth place in the state. We hope to do even better this year. R. M. MATHEMATICS I he Mathematics Department of our High School is under the super- vision of Mrs. Bowman. Mrs Bowman is a very capable and efficient instruc- tor. She is a graduate of the State Teachers College at Greeley, Colorado, and is familiar with all phases of High School mathematics. Her domain is in one of the sunny rooms on the south side of the building, where faces are always cheerful, because students in our school never go to mathematics classes without their lessons prepared. Elementary and advanced Algebra and plane and solid Geometry are taught. Hawkes-Lubv-Tcton Algebra textbooks are used and A Vent worth- Smith Geometries. AA'ith her instruction and the aid of these texts, we feel sure that Brush High students are getting their full share of knowledge and training from their mathematics. T. L.

ENGLISH The English work is comprised of English I. English II. American Lit- erature and English Literature. English IV class studies the lives and productions of English authors. The first semester was under Miss Martin, the last under Miss Dobson. Its aim is to obtain an appreciation of English literature. The Tattler was published once every two weeks the first semester by this class. American Literature is taught in the third-year class by Mr. Stevenson. The lives of American authors and their productions are studied with the view of developing an appreciation of the best in American literature. English I and English II are taught by Miss Martin and Miss Dobson. Composition work, debating, short-story writing and certain classics are stud- ied. Every Friday a program along English lines, such as dialogues, plays, readings and speeches, is given. M. E. MUSIC The Music Department of our school is one of the most pleasant ones. Miss Jones, the instructor, devotes two afternoons to the High School music. On Mondays, she has the Junior and Senior boys the first period, the Sopho- more boys the second period and the Freshman boys the last period. I uesday she spends with the girls classes. Our work in music has been part singing, and from the various classes Miss Jones has picked her Glee ( lubs. The days that we spend in the music room with Miss Jones are the brightest ones of the week, for we seem to get pep from singing as from no other study, and besides, we could not help but contract some of Miss Jones enthusiasm. V. A. ART Art, one of the most interesting subjects taught this year, has been under the efficient supervision of Miss Foulk. The first of our fascinating work was the making of Batik blouses, table runners and pillows. . Candle decorating was popular about Christmas time. I here was a great variety of them, with dripped and painted decorations. These made lovelv gifts. After the holidays, each of us made a piece of “tie-dye. Me found this very practical in making old things like new. Then we began gathering together pretty-shaped bottles, boxes, odd pieces of ivory and old manicuring sets, and with a little enamel and oil paint, we have transformed worthless or inexpensive articles into fifteen or twenty dollar dresser sets. We ure going to enamel and decorate waste-paper baskets and then do block printing. If anv time remains, we hope to have a short course in either costume designing or interior decorating. Aside from our accomplishments this year, we have gained knowledge which will help us in the future, in making ourselves and our homes more attractive. E.

EXPRESSION For a time this year our Expression classes were under the direction of Miss Ryan. Some of the time M as devoted to technique, the rest to memorizing and learning to give readings. The classes gave some very excellent entertainments in the assembly, and on November 27. a three-act play entitled “Come Out of the Kitchen,” was given at the Emerson Theater. It was very well attended by a satisfied audience. Shortly before the close of the first semester, we learned that Miss Ryan Mas not returning to us after the holidays. Since we thought a great deal of M iss Rvan, we were verv sorrv to lose her. However, her place has been filled by M iss Dobson. m horn we admire.
