In 1888 a group of ambitious individuals began producing in the Cascade Studiof, The high school classes were held in the same building with the grade school, and the course was for three years only. The first graduating class was composed of three people. However, the enrollment in the studio increased so much that in 1910 the present Senior High School Studio was built. The advanced students were transferred to this institution and the Cascade', was left entirely for the grades. During the early years of the studio's development the course of study was limited. However, it has always been accredited by the University' of Wasliington. The courses have heen expanded and more educational opportunities have been given the students as the cn- rollment drew so that now the graduates from the studio can enter any college. Five courses of study are now offered to the students in the Chehalis motion picture studio, the classical, scientihc, general, commercial and home-economics courses. The home economics course was added just this year and is meant for students not intending to talce more advanced work in college. It covers all the domestic subjects including stitchery, foods, hygiene-sanitation, home-management, child care, nutrition, and household chemistry. The remaining four courses are accredited for college. page llnce LAL, V ,,,. Me.. ...... ,,..,. ...W ,ug-ii 21 kk'y V Y gg V, I A ' V v f . - ' .

' H I GDTIIIIR efGlllflllllllDlllllDNll3lDllNllcIllljllllllXlllllIIllEblllD OME INDIVIDUAL departments of study are offered to the student actors also The music department gives instruction for voice and instrumental sections. The voice instruction is divided into three groups: The Boys' Glee Clubf' for the boys, The Girls' Glee Club for the girls, and The Chorus, a class composed of boys and girls who have not had enough training to enter the Glee Clubs, although some students are both in the Chorus and the Glee Club in order to get more training. A manual training and mechanical drawing course for future architects is offered by the manual arts department. The mechanical drawing students have, along with many other drawings, each turned out a Blue Print of the piece or pieces they made in the manual training department. The drawings and articles of furniture are sure to win prizes in the State Fair. Three years of Science, including Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Last year Mr. Porter introduced an aquarium in which one can find lizgards, fish, water-lilies, clams, oysters, frogs, and tadpoles in the various seasons. Three years of English are also offered. Y 1 J In the Foreign Language department, three years of Latin, two years of French, and two years of Spanish and German are given. German was suspended during the World War but it was taken up again in 1927. Another department just introduced is that of art instruction. Only one year is offered as yet but it is hoped to broaden the subject to two years next year. Courses in Shorthand, Typing, Bookkeeping, Business Law, Business English, and Busi- ness Practice are offered in the Commercial department. Public Speaking, Contemporary Literature, and Salesrnanship were introduced last year as an experiment and continued again this year. Another section of the school course is that of activities. This includes athletics, jour- nalism, and dramatics. Those students who secure sufficient grades in three subjects are allowed to take part in these outside divisions. Under athletics comes football, basketball, baseball, volleyball and tennis in which both boys and girls participate. Chehalis is a member of the Southwest Washington High School League. There is not a regular course in Journalism in the studio as yet, but the Studio Review, the Chehalin and studio news, The Crimson and Gray,', are edited by students under the splendid assistance of Mr. Porter. The editors of each are sent to the Students, Conference at the University of Washington each year to gain knowledge about handling these publica- tions. D A debate team is organized, composed of six students, that they might gain experience and knowledge for oration and public speaking. Xxx XY 'x 'N page four -M ft N I- 7 ., ' ffl
