New classes constantly are created to insure the better students more chances to forge Music The music department, under the direction of Mr, Bardon, district supervisor of music, is now almost completely divided into two distinct sections-the vocal and the instrumental.

Head, 0 W 0 Commeravial Art Home lwfonolnufs Helping to prepare students for the hustling business world is the major aim of Clover Park's com- mercial departments. Miss Cul- len, department director, instructs classes in such courses as office practice, business correspondence, bookkeeping, and business mathe- matics with the aid of modern dictaphones, comptometers, adding machines, and filing systems. Mr. Herin, the typing teacher, with the help of thirty new type- writers, instructs approximately one hundred beginners, intermedi- ate- and advanced-typists. Miss Brenner, Clover Park's sole instructor in art, guides stu- dents in realizing their latent abili- ties in the graphic arts. Classes, therefore, are not limited to the older students, but extend into the Junior High School level as well. It is hoped that by bringing the younger student in direct associa- tion with some phase of the arts he will possess a little enlightened culture. All in all, three courses are taught: one to the Junior High School-elementary art: one in be- ginning art, and one in advanced art. The Home Economics depart- ment is divided into two distinct sections-foods and clothing. Miss Luft heads the sewing department, which makes the clothes, while Mrs. Bardon supervises the girls in the food lab, All modern equipment is fea- tured throughout both rooms. Sewing and ironing machines, gas and electric stoves, refrigerators, and many other up-to-date con- veniences stand waiting for the use of the girls in the several classes. ag if The social science classes this year have been trying to put Ha little punch into their not always exciting topics. They feel that, in competition with the worldly patter of Walter Winchell and Dick Tracy, their material possibly lacks the dra- matic interest and popular ap- peal which the majority of high school students demand. But in addition to the search for easily and pleasantly consumed reading material, the social science teachers of Clover Park still feel they have an essential task to perform: to create within the minds of the younger generation the evaluation of conflicting ideas, the basis of social thinking.
