Departments The department where one ' s pet traditions are dragged out into the light and openly attacked—where one ' s prejudices are revealed and often put to flight is, generally speaking, the Department of Education, Miss Grupe contributes psychological facts with great ciearness and Insight Into today ' s educational problems. Mr. Black and Mr. Stephens disclose to our wondering eyes vast fields for our future work to cover. Mr. Klemme gives us the necessary history of education to make our un¬ derstanding of modern education complete, while Doctor Munson offers the foundation of it all. Biology. The aim of all progressive Institutions of higher learning Is to teach people to live whether by the wake ' em up, shake ’em up method of Mr. Stephens, the outside reading” method of Mr. Black, the monologue method of Dr. Munson, or the free discussion method of Miss Grupe. An issue that has been much discussed, not only in the school but in the town as well, thru the efforts of this department, is that of Formal Discipline. Refutation of this dogma has been the chief delight of the teachers and followers. The presE the button and out pops the response ' ' form of recitation, such an accepted thing in our high school work Is no longer a safe cover for the refuge from real thought. We know that they have not gotten across what they aimed to If it does not function in our lives. Long before Mr. Selden Smyser actually became head of our English Department, most of us who had not known him before, had heard en¬ thusiastic and highly pleasing accounts of him from his former admirers from North Yakima. Mr. Smyser has been with us only a year, and we Seniors can only regret that we have not been able to become better ac¬ quainted with him. His good reputation here, started with his John Muir class and has stood the test throughout his Journalism, Contem¬ porary Literature, Short Story and Economics Classes, which were some of the live wire classes in school. One of the reasons why English thiR year was so well liked and so seldom “skipped was because we were all given so much freedom of thought and expression, thus gaining much more than mere facts. The greatest reason, however, is Mr. Smyser himself, whom all or us are proud to know both as our teacher and as our friend. Miss Florence Wilson has offered several literature courses which will prove very helpful In our teaching; also a course in Story Telling which we all enjoyed. It Is with great regret that we hid farewell to Miss Wilson. The History and Civics courses under the efficient direction of Miss Angeline Smith. Dean of Women, were some of the really enjoyable as well as Instructive phases of the Sociology Department, offered during the vuar. These courses consisted Of American History, and the Colonial Era, Industrial History and Civics. A good example of motivation of History with other situations was well brought out when the Civics class started off with a laboratory study of Ellenshurg, It ' s ash-heaps and can-piles, and the cost and management of its light and water plants. While the clasB may have groaned considerably over the currency problem in Indus¬ trial History, nevertheless, we began to realize that the great war is not Page is
