THE PHUBLE 5 UF UEMUEHAEY World History, as taught here at Chelsea High, gives its students the background necessary for an understanding of present world conditions. The course traces the begin- nings of democratic thoughts in man as his civilization grew more and more complex. The threads of man's evolutions and glimpses of the Roman and Greek civilizations are picked up in the first part of the year, and carried over to include the Anglo- Saxon invasion of England. Cultural, economic and religipus trends then come to the fore as the renaissance and reformation are taken up. Europe's many conflicts and the emergence of the United States as a World Power follow and complete the students' background. This prosperous looking gentleman is Mr. Max Leader, a history in- structor. Mr. Leader's chief concern is in preparing his pupils thoroughly for their college board examinations, and also in giving them o funda- mental education in the way their United States government was originated, and the manner in which it is now being run. A course in Problems of Democracy is a course worth taking, for what is more important than studying the causes of trouble in these United States and trying to think ot some remedy for them.

ABT, APPHECIATIU As his class in music appreciation stands grouped around him, Mr. Francis X. Ridge, our school music teacher, plays music for them'to appreciate. Mr. Ridge teaches music appreciation, music harmony, and also directs the school band. In Room 304, Miss Kohlrausch gives an op- portunity to every pupil to employ his talents. Every proiect taken up, in the study of color harmony, symmetry, and balance, provides some chance for the student to exhibit his individual talent. One outstanding achievement of this year was the acquisition of a loom, which made it possible for the students to study weaving. The art class has contributed several draw- ings to the yearbook and the school social functions which have added greatly to their appearance and interest. Cantemplaling some mechanical difficulty we see Miss MacDonald and a student busily working. Peo- ple are generally surprised to hear that we have a woman who is capable of teaching mechanical drowi-mg.
