Without doubt the subjects in the Mathematics department are most difficult for the majority of students and consist of plane and solid geometry, algebra and ad- vanced algebra. The Music department is one that is pleasing to everyone and offers girls' glee clubs, chorus, boys' quartet, mixed quartet, double quartet and orchestra. ln the Foreign Language department we have two year courses in Spanish, two years in French and two years in Latin. The Commercial department consists of courses in shorthand, typewriting, law, business English, penrnanship and bookkeeping. Not the least to be mentioned are the activities of the school. Some of thc foremost are debate. athletics, dramatics and journalism, All students who success- fully carry three subjects a semester are permitted to take part in activities, however, a limit to the number of activities in which they are allowed to participate is made. This restriction is made on the basiss of major and minor activities. De- bate in Chehalis High allows the participation on the part of but six students. These students make up the debate teams that represent the school. They are selected from a group of candidates in a tryout. The three sports-football, basketball and bascballimake up the athletic department of the school. A team of each sport rep- resents the school in an organized league. Under dramatics the students annually present an operetta, and, likewise, the Junior and Senior classes give popular plays. The members of each cast are selected by the faculty. ln journalism the students pub- lish the Crimson and Grayf' the official school paper. They also edit The Chehalin, the school annual. All of the activities are carried on outside of school hours. STVIJY AND ASSIGMBLY HALL Cl-ll'IMlSTIiY lJlCPAR'l'lNIlCNT l 1 i

Aside froin the duties of priiieipal he teaches history and civics two of the five periods a day. Although this is his first year as head of a faculty, he has caused the school to progress, as well as niaiu- taining previous standards. The present literary societies which have presented a total of eight programs bc- fore the assembly this year, are a result of his organizing. Also the high school owes the existence of the Hi-Y Club to the efforts of Qllr. Turner. Scholastic standing has been considerably affected by the institution of more 4-olnlrlete records ou report cards, and more llllll'0I'llllf.Y in grades by means of special classes. During his first year as 1ll'l1lf'll33l he has achieved not only these things but also has gained the respect of all the students and inenilmers ofthe faculty.
