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.

Efficient Faculty is Departmentally Urganized Science and Mathematics Under the capable, guiding hand of Mr. Lackey, the Science and Mathematics department in Clover Park is co-ordinating the students' interests in this Held throughout both Junior and Senior High School. They are trying to find the proper level in which to place each student so that he may work at his own pace in a class of his equals. 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. With the able assistance of Mrs. McMullin, accompanist and piano instructor, Mr. Bardon directs the Senior High large and small choirs, as well as the three nonettes and boys quartette. Kept equally busy is Mr, Oppelt, who has charge of the Senior High band, the Senior High orchestra and the Junior High band, as well as teaching an instruments class. Mr. Kerr, in addition to his own instruments classes, handles band instruments in the grade schools. Mr. Peter J.

In addition, the ratings of Clover Park's students as compared with those of the nation are being sought through the institution of standardized tests in the school. The teachers can thus find out how well the students are progressing, and what their chances in work or college will be in the future. Physical Ed Head of the Physical Educa- tion Department and head men- tor of the aspiring football and track devotees is Mr. Tone, who also has charge of the boy's gym classes. Working in nearly the same capacity as Mr. Tone is Miss Bell, girls' P. E, in- structor. Mr. Sutich, coach of Jr. High football and track also teaches courses in health and drivers' training. Mrs. Mace guides the girls of the Junior High School in health classes and on the playfield. A healthful recreational program of athletics the year round has been fostered by this depart- ment.

Maintenance Walter Evans, who keeps very busy as supervisor of all the school buses, and head of the high school custodians, also plans the bus schedules, routes and stops. He reports that our seven school buses together average 6,000 miles each month and use nearly l0,000 gallons of gasoline for a school year. Several of our six custodians work to beautify our school from 3:00 P. M. until 11:00 P. M. Receiving little of their deserved recognition, these employees spend time during the summer months thoroughly cleaning the entire school plant. Walt Evans Head Custodian and Supervisor of Buses Safety What Work in maintaining law and order need be done with Clover Park pupils was done this year by student control. Under Mr. Evans, captains Arlene Turver and Mel Johnson, aided by six lieutenants, led those who patrolled the halls, the grounds, and the parked cars on our campus. Numbering some sixty, the patrolmen Wore badges for identifi- cation and each received a certificate for his service from the state patrol. The traffic squad was reorganized at midfyear for more efficiency and from that time operated under Mr. Owens, Advisor, and Dean Hansen, Captain. CUSTODIAL STAFF: Bill Donnelly, Bill Cocldington, A.
