This has been the case especially this year. The Music Department offers the students an op- portunity of playing in the Band or the Orchestra, singing in the Chorus, Glee Club or Choir. A class in Music Appreciation is also included in the de- partment's curriculum. In Sewing, Heights' girls learn how to make their own clothes economically, and in Cooking, the fine parts of the culinary arts. Metal, Wood, and Auto Shop are the practical subjects offered to the boys of Heights. Here they learn how to fashion articles from metal and wood, and also become acquainted with the complicated mechanism of automobiles. Mechanical Drawing is another subject which is popular with Heights students. Under Miss Wiswall's and Miss Bulkley's direc- tion the Fine Arts Department has done many things to be proud of this year. All the students of Heights were very interested in the displays of handiwork which were exhibited by the depart- ment in the girls' ramp. Christmas cards and lovely drawings have also decorated the front halls of our school. Many Heights organizations owe a hearty thanks to the art classes for those many fine posters which they have so willingly made. 17 Davan! .Mull-ifzg it over! 4.1

ODAY, because of present time conditions, a well-rounded background and knowledge of history is essential. Right now events are constantly occurring which will be recorded in the history books of tomorrow. Vxfhile this is happening, our efficient staff of instructors help us to learn and to understand the facts upon which our historical knowledge is founded. It is believed by the de- partment that a greater knowledge of our past will give us a greater understanding of the future. The department offers courses in Ancient, Medi- eval, and Modern History in addition to American History, a year's study of which is required for graduation. The lessons taught by the periods here represented should be of great aid in building a better world after the war. Economics and Social Problems are also offered by the department. These subjects help students to a better understanding of the conditions and problems of our time. In recent years the department under the able direction of Mr. Paul Nash has sponsored a special trip by four deserving and worthy Heights students to the National Institute at Washington, D. C. This practice, however, has been suspended for the dura- tion of the war. 16

Ege PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HIS year, more than ever before, physical edu- cation plays a prominent part in the Heights curriculum. This is true, for it is our duty to be as physically fit as possible in these troubled times. The vernacular of Heights he-man is today full of such Words as chinning, push-ups, rolls and rope climbing. The gym and swim instructors are en- deavoring to toughen up our Heights boys in every possible Way in order to see that they are fit to enter the service. The girls, not to be outdone, also have an exten- sive physical program. Hockey, Marching, Exer- cises, Basketball and Baseball are the intensified sports. Swimming. as always, is required and stressed. After school sports for Sophomore, .lun- ior and Senior girls are carrying on as usual. Checking each student's health is the task of the school nurse. Once during the year each boy and girl is given an examination by Doctor Lockhart. This year Mrs. Bennett, our capable nurse, also assisted in the Tubercular tests which were given to all seniors. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT OW as never before, the study and under- standing of mathematics is stressed at Heights for both boys and girls. It promotes clear and ac- curate thinking and skill in mathematical computa- tion. It also promotes an ability to apply the mathematical fundamentals and principles to prac- tical problems. The department is under the able direction of Mr. Ralph Fraunfelter. Plane geometry is taken by the majority of sophomores. In the Junior year if the student is planning to enter college he con- tinues his math with a semester of advanced algebra and solid geometry. Trigonometry is also offered. Courses in refresher math and pre-flight aero- nautics are oHfered to those students Who are con- templating active service in U. S. Forces. Heights math teachers have prepared students exceptionally Well for any phase of work in the future. If the student is planning on going to college, or Working, or if he is going into some branch of the service, he will have a good background in the field of mathe- matics.
