Ndfb nj HE busy hum of lathes, the scratch of sand- paper and the purr of a motor from the machine shops: the delicious fragrance of a freshly-baked apple pie, the click of a sewing machine, intricate drawings by future draftsmen, heads bent over a drawing board, the hammering of silver into jewelry-all this, and more, signifies the advances Heights has made in its Eine Arts Department. Our heads whirling after seeing such activity, we learned that after a two-year cooking course, a girl has a complete knowledge of foods, budgets. and meal planning, and that in six semesters of sewing a girl really knows how to make reap- pleats and drape-shapes . Especially vital this year are the courses in mechanical drawing which prepare graduates to work where they are so badly needed in the indus- trial and military worlds. The Art courses train many artistic hands to be better fitted for Art school or for some kind of war work. Even the band has been doing its part for the war effort. They have played several times for the inductees at the terminal, and are very adept at play- ing any military piece. The A Cappella choir and the orchestra need no explanation, for they have placed first in many contests. Last December mem- bers of the choir sent Christmas boxes to former Heights singers now in the armed services. Hazel XViswall Dorothy Bulklcy Paul Meier L. N.

Have you ever realized that what is happening today in your world will be the history tomorrow's stu- dents will study? We were much impressed by the courses taught in history. American History this year is quite dif- ferent from that taught three years ago, or even one year ago, for each passing day changes it. Even so, students are kept well-informed of world events by lengthy discussions of world problems. Even the courses in ancient and medieval history only serve as a rich background for the development of today. The half-year courses in economics and social problems teach pupils some of the solutions to seri- ous problems which will face them as well as their country after we win the ultimate victory. In the past, the History Department has sent four outstanding students to the National Institute at Washington, D. C., for a week. It is probable, however, that this practice may have to be post- poned until after the war. Through an intensified study of the modern day problems facing the world, the Heights history stu- dents are taking the first steps toward fulfilling their duty as competent leaders of post war recon- struction. Even as we write, history is changing as we watch our own students join the youth of the United Nations in their iight for freedom!
