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. '
