KrausefStudy Hel' Tevshefs' The department that gives those students who are interested in business training and secretarial work an opportunity to become ac- quainted with typing, bookkeeping, short- hand, and junior business training, is the Commercial Department. If a student is plan- ning to work in an office, he should begin in high school to build for his career. Many girls have the opportunity of working with Miss Pasch in her office for practical experience. One doesn't necessarily have to be in- terested in working in an office before study- ing a commercial course. Even though a stu- dent does not plan to enter the business world, he will find that the knowledge of shorthand and typing is an invaluable ad- vantage. Library r To give service and guidance to the stu- dents and the faculty is the aim of the DeVilbiss High School Library. Everyone finds, whether he is searching for reference ma- terial or looking for an exciting novel, that the library staff is always eager to help. Since T931 the library's book collection has grown from 2,000 volumes to a present 'l2,000 volumes. The circulation sometimes reaches three hundred books daily, not includ- ing those used in the library. The library also subscribes to more than seventy-five period- icals for information and pleasure reading. 20

Art Department The Art Department of DeVilbiss is an im- portant one because it strives to show its pupils how art enters into their lives every day. Courses that are planned for students who are interested in entering business art are Fashion Illustration and Commercial Art. Crafts, General Arts, and Painting are offered to students who like to create with various art materials. Whether a student is interested in art as a high school maior, whether he is interested in it as a vocation, or whether he enioys it as a hobby, he will find capable guidance from our art instructors.

Realizing the struggles of groups of people in the past to live with each other helps us to see methods of solving our present and future political, economic, and social problems. We review the past in order to better qualify us to analyze these problems. For students with a college obiective a course of Ancient and Medieval History or one of Modern History is offered for pupils who wish a view of world history in a one year course. The real backbone of citizenship training is in the year course of American History and Govern- ment. For seniors a definite analysis in contemporary business and social activities and a course of the life of our neighboring Latin American nations is available. All through the three year curricula current events are taught once a week. l l 9

Boys' Athletics No school would be complete without an efficient Boys' Athletic Department. The enioyment of playing is taught as the fore- most obiect in the gymnastic program and, after that, the success and competition of the game. In class the freshmen and soph- omores participate in tumbling, volleyball, basketball, and other games. Their grades are based on achievement tests. Juniors and seniors participate in wrestling, bas- ketball and boxing, and they also have achievement tests. ln every class sports- manship is taught and is on display every minute. Girls' Physical Education Physical Education as an integral part of school work must contribute to the de- velopment ot the whole person . The main objectives of the girls' physi- cal education program are: to teach the mind as well as the body to be healthy, to assist the girl in acquiring the ability to get along with her companions, to put more emphasis on the fun of the games and the pleasure of dancing, to develop the spirit of fair play not only in games but also in everyday living, and to mold the 'girls into our democratic way of life.
