Carlson HOME ECONOMICS I-IE object of home economics is to fit the girls for successful, happy living. Food study teaches the selection, care, preparation, and serving of foods. It also gives the students a knowledge of food values upon which their physical well-being depends. The essentials of home making, wise choice of the lot, home, and furnishingsg interior decorations, budgetingg and sanitation, are taught in home course. In clothing classes our aim is to teach the girls not only the mechanics of garment making and millinery, but also the knack of dressing correctly. INDUSTRIAL ARTS HE industrial department offers manual training, mechanical drawing, and printing. lVIanual training includes woodwork and sheet metal work. The aim of mechanical training is to give knowledge useful in everyday life, although many boys here get their introduction to mechanical work which later intluences their choices of vocations. The printing department not only gives the boys instruction in the fundamental processes of printing, but does much printing for the schools and also prints the Aurorau. OFFICE AST High is fortunate in having so efficient an office staff, composed of Miss VVatson, secretary to Mr. VValdo and the Board of Education, Miss Cole, secretary to Mr. Walters, and IVIiss Itdurphy, who succeeds Iliiss Dittman as telephonic operator.

Thompson HISTORY T is the aim of the history department to give ancient, medieval, and modern his- tory students a valuable cultural background, followed by an understanding of modern European problems. The American history, civics, and economics cours:-s are designed to give students an appreciation of the place of the United States among the nations by acquainting them with the fundamental facts of our history, our leading men, and the growth of our ideals, political, social, and economic. PHYSICAL EDUCATION HYSICAL education is required of all students for two years. The boys' gym- nasium work is informal: it consists of games and relays, and track and basket- ball work. Due to the growing interest in sports among girls, the physical edu- cation department offers an intramural program which makes participation possible for all girls. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT HE responsibility of the commercial department is two-fold, it must give the student a well-rounded general education and at the same time special training to meet the demands of the modern business ollice. East High offers three courses: A two-year bookkeeping, a two-year stenography, and a four-year commercial course. The commercial subjects included in these courses are: penmanship, commercial geography, bookkeeping, junior business training, typewriting, shorthand, and general oHice practice. Veronica G.
