fine arts Present New Features This year the FINE ARTS DEPART- MENT. which includes studies in Music and Art, maintained its usual large and en- thusiastic enrollment. Four levels of Art, progressively requir- ing more technical mastery of the subject, tax the skill of students and discipline their tal- ents. Art teachers encourage pupils to devel- op their own projects, this year adding more slides and reference materials to aid students in their work. Music teachers also enhance pupils' en- joyment of religious, popular and folk music by utilizing new hi-fi and stereo sets, turn- tables and speakers. This year, the depart- ment also obtained new uniforms for the Trojan marching band. Both Music and Art courses instill in stu- dents an added sense of cultural appreciation. Mr. R.

Social scientists ponder the riddle of society. social studies Tries Teacher Rotation The study of the Social Sciences is a val- uable one. Only students who arc well- informed about both the past and present are properly prepared for the future. To improve in this preparation, the SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT introduced new materials and new methods of instruction. In American Problems, five new texts were added, each one dealing with a section of the course. Experiments in team teaching were conducted in three American Problems classes. These classes had three different teachers for three distinct course divisions. The successful first year of an experi- mental no-testing” program in selected American History classes led to the con- tinuation of the project this year. Accord- ing to the plan, each history teacher chooses one class in which there will be no testing; classroom discussion is stressed. CHARLES H. GOSLING GLENN C. OLNEY KATHERINE P. Houghton College.

practical arts Acquire New Drafting Machines Dave Suiicr leaves his imprint. Mr. Kenneth Lage directs the PRAC- TICAL ARTS DEPARTMENT, which is de- signed to develop the students skills in both Industrial Arts and Home Economies. The Home Economics section offers courses in food, clothing, and home manage- ment to prepare the students both for home- making and for careers. The Industrial Arts section gives courses in auto shop, drafting, graphic arts, electric shop, wood shop, and electronics. Tech- niques that students learn in these classes are useful in vocations and avocations. This year the department added to its machinery a new printing press and twenty new drafting machines.
