They Teach Us These-- Mechanical Drawing: This class includes the drawing of various parts of machines showing the construction, etc. Boys interest- ed learn printing, making of blue-prints, and inkingi drawings properly. Sounds complicated, does it not? Nevertheless, for jthose interested in engineering, this class proves of great value and is required for those majoring in manual training. Commercial Department: 'Typing is Perhaps the most popular of the commercial subjects as all students make practical use of it. A student majoring in a secretarial course must have two years of shorthand, two years of typing and may or mayrnot have from one to two years of bookkeeping. L When majoring in bookkeeping, a student must take two years of bookkeeping and a year of typing. While students are prepared for business work, many use this as a means of securing a college education. All forms, programs, dodgers, etc., are set up by commercial students and run on the mimeograph. Agricultural Department: Cheney has cause to be proud of the work this department has done. In the heart of a rich wheat dis- trict fthat is, a district rich in wheatj the city naturally depends a good deal upon its farms for its existence. The classes in this course are offered particularly for the boys coming from the surrounding wheat and dairy country. A complete Smith-Hughescourse adds to the value of this department. Each boy chooses and develops a project suit- ed to his individual needs. Many field and judging trips are taken by the boys studying these courses and the many cups and banners won are evidence of the fine work done. Animal Husbandry is offered to first year boys, and Crops and Soils to second and third year boys. Farm Shop: Farm Shop has to do with all farm machinery, buildings, and furnishings. The first year group has the lighter and simpler work of learning to sharpen and repair tools, etc. The second year group learns about buildings and engineering connected with the farm work. These courses are extremely necessary to any boy who in- tends to become a modern and successful farmer. i Art Department: The purpose of this department is to give the student a higher appreciation of the Fine Arts, and to encourage his own abilities. This year's work includes: space breaking, ink work, lettering, tempra work, linoleum blocks, charcoal and pastel designs, and interior decorating. l A student planning to continue in the field of art should not miss the fine opportunity which Cheney high school offers. It has a very well equipped department and the course which the student receives is the finishing touch to that instruction which he had in the grades. A special feature of this department for this year was the sponsor- ing of the exhibition of 150 of the works of famous masters. The exhibit was not only educational but a financial success as well, for the depart- ment was able to buy four large pictures for the school buildings with the proceeds. The pictures were: The Man with the Golden Helmet by Rembrantg Lincoln by Tyngsg The Little Blue Boy by Gainsbor- ough and Landscape Near Aix by Cezanne. '

They Teach Us These-- Languages: Two foreign languages are offered in Cheney high schoolsg one dead, and one decidedly alive. The former, Latin, includes elementary grammar for the first year students, and Caesar for the second. Third year Latin is given when there is a demand for it. French is the modern language offered. There are first and second year French classes, and one class is given in the Junior high school. Although the languages' course in Cheney high scholo is only moderately extensive, it is of sterling worth. Music Department: Anyone who can play an instrument or carry a tune may enter one or more of the musical organizations which make up the Music department. Vocal lessons are given those who have special talent and instrumental lessons to those who wish to play in the orchestra. Each year an operetta is sponsored by the de- partment and The Papoose Eater, given this year, gave an opportuni- ty to everyone in the high school to appear in a public performance. In addition, a Music Review, presented by the combined department, and many outside public performances by individual groups have given the department muchfavorable publicity. No school function is complete without some contribution from the department which includes, Boys' and Girls' Glee clubs, a 40-piece orchestra, a Boys' Quartette, and a Girls' Sextette. Home Economics Department: Girls enrolled in the course of home economics have a very interesting and beneficial sched- ule worked out for them for both semesters. First year students study the care of the sick, school lunches, and home luncheons. During the second semester they plan meals, sew, and study clothing selection and construction. Throughout the year they are instructed to do a good deal of home work. Second year pupils spend the first semester in remodeling garments, budgeting, clothing design and color, and child care and clothing. The second semester is spent in studying the home-the exterior, interior, walls, floors, and furnishings. They also work on family relations. Sec- ond year students are required to work out projects, limited to ninety ho-urs per school year for each student. These projects include: budget of time spent on family laundry, responsibility for rooms in home, mak- ing school lunches, planning and preparation of meals, etc. The department works together in providing a school hot lunch in winter, for a nominal sum, and in serving banquets for various school organizations. Manual Training: This department includes the following groups: bench work, power machines, wood-finishing, wood-turning, repair work, and shop safety. Boys enrolled in this work have turned out some very fine articles and have put to practical use their acquired ability. Exhibits have been made by these boys for the Inland Empire Teachers' Association at Lewis and Clark. Also an exhibit was shown in the Emmy Lou Gift Shop window. The manual training department also helps with stage construc- tion for plays, and is continually called upon by the other departments to make everything from typing stands to repairs on the football field.
