Edward Hertzig At the first of the year the Skull Staff was organized under the supervision of three faculty advisors: Mrs. McFalI, organizing and constructive advisor, Miss Cruden, literary advisor, and Mr. Husband, clerical advisor. Under these competent advisors the Skull Staff has strived to make this Skull a success. THE GIRLS' LEAGUE URING the year the Girls' League has been guided by Valora Schrack, President, Victoria Bongiovanni, Vice-President, and Evelyn Markwood, Sec- retary-Treasurer. These girls, under the supervision of Miss Peterson, have been very faithful in striving to make a stronger organization for the Girls, League. This organization has endeavored to promote sportsmanship, friendship, and higher ideals. The road that the girls choose in their high school days will be the one followed through life, that one aiming for the highest goal. The Girls' League aids them in choosing the right path. Among the many activities that took place during the year were a few outstand-- ing ones. At Christmas, the girls, with the aid of the school, distributed several welfare boxes among the needy. Every year we have an Athletic Night at which the girls entertain the public with various athletic games, stunts, etc. The members wel- comed the Freshman girls and others with a Freshman Luncheon. It was given during noon hour and a short program entertained the guests. Lois jenkins and Annie Winkler were elected as our delegates to attend the con- vention of the State Girls' League association in Fresno this year. In March, four of our girls, Valora Schrack, Maudadele Ludden, Virginia Carr, and Floris Reinking, escorted by Miss Peterson, attended the Older- Girls conference held at Richardson's Springs. Patricia Zierdt went as a delegate from the Hi-Y Club. MINOR ORGANIZATIONS During this year there have been many minor organizations among which are the following: U. S. History Open Forum Club, World History Club, Spanish Club, Library Club, and Oral English Clubs, Each has been definite in purpose for creating more interest and co-operation in class room work. Organization work promotes originality and individuality in the students and pre- pares them for the future, laying especial stress on self-reliance, independence, and personal initiative. , THE SKULL 22

CCDh4N1ERC2IAl.'DEF'AI ThAEI4T HE commercial department this year has confined its work to three courses of business training: shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping. Approximately 100 students have enrolled in the various commercial classes. The class in beginning book- keeping has been larger than usual and has made excellent progress throughout the year. For the sake of economy in administration of the school no attempt was made to organize classes in commercial law, salesmanship, or other commercial subjects. A new commercial curriculum is being worked out however, which will make it possible to offer a longer period of training in stenography and bookkeeping and broaden the students' knowledge by giving supplementary courses in other commercial subjects. It is hoped that this new curriculum can be put in effect next fall. ACIAIJEN4IC EJEPAiRTh4EPJT The academic department gives training in English, Latin, Spanish, history, mathea matics and science. These are the subjects considered fundamental and essential in a general education. It is recommended that students take four years of English. This course covers a study of literature, composition, news writing, typical reports and other work of a practical nature. An effort is made to develop a taste for good reading, and to create skill in writing. The Latin and Spanish courses are now alternating from year to yearg Latin I with Spanish II, and Spanish I with Latin II the following year. A class of 25 students has been enrolled in Spanish. The curriculum in history includes courses in social science, world history, and history of the U, S. More than fifty students have been enrolled in the World History class this year, These three courses constitute majors necessary for graduation. General science, biology, and physics have been offered in the science course this year. Physics alternates with a course in Chemistry from year to year. The mathematics course includes first year algebra, plane geometry and a class in vo- cational mathematics, which reviews arithmetic and various formulations useful in shop and mechanical work.
