Miss Elizabeth Valentine took com- petent charge of the eight girls who participated in advanced sewing and design. Fifteen boys took advantage of the Mechanical Drawing course offered un- der the direction of Mr. Claire Robb. For those students interested in mathematics and science, and desiring a better understanding of the slide rule, slide rule classes were held by Mr. Kenneth Johnson. Miss Bess Huey conducted a special music class for those students who, be- cause of conflicting activities, were un- able to participate in the glee club or orchestra. Every Tuesday afternoon, Miss Edna Hyde met the Art Classes for two periods. Each of these classes proved to be of great value to those participating, and their continued development will be a practical asset to the school. Top to bottom: Miss E.
