THE ART DEPARTMENT The place which art occupies in the experience of a people is an indi- cation of the life of that civilization. The I-inal test of an economic system is not in the tons of iron, the tanks of oil, or the miles of textiles it DIO- ducesg the linal test lies in its ultimate products, the sort of men and women it nurtures, and the order and beauty and sanity of their communities. The art department therefore seeks to instill sound principles of design and beauty into the minds of the stu- dents, and to develop their skills and insights so that they may be able to express these ideas in noble and ra- tional form. Sound art principles can he applied to everyday probleng of living, such as appropriate colors in dress, interior decoration and furnish- ings for homes, landscaping the home, school or church, in fact, art is one of the most basic and direct ape proaches to achieving that order, beauty, and sanity of life which makes a community a better place in which to live. Bunnus, VVALKER BARGER, LINK, LUPER PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT If you have aching bones itis probably because of those exer- cises you have to go through in physical education. Mr. Luper, Physical Educationg Mr. Barger, Health, Mrs. Link, Health, real- ly believe in giving you a work- out. LIBRARIAN One of the most Cliiiicult iobs in our school is given to our libra- rian, bliss Council, whom we could never do without. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Music must take rank as the highest of the line arts-as the one which, more than any other, ministers to human welfare. Certainly when we are privileged to listen to the rhythmic cadences and lovely har' monies of the High School Chorus under the direction of Mr. VValker, we would not question the truth contained in the ahovc statement. By the varied types of music they render. they can calm or enliven our spirits, inspire us to noble endeavor, and lift us to the edge of the infinite. Truly, music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, to wash away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Truly, without music, life would he a mistake. COUNCIL
