Develop Appreciation .Xi fish'- More than 14,000 volumes are available to the students, who nearly fill the library each hour of the day. The music and art departments give us an ap- preciation of the finer things of life. From the band room come the familiar birdlike sounds of the piccolo. the mellow note of the bari- tone, the sweet music of the clarinet, the boom- boom of the drum, and other various sounds which combine to form our fine band. In the glee club. we hear the sopranos, altos. tenors, and basses striving to improve their singing voices, and to blend them into harmonious melodies. We find a different kind of culture in the art room, where we learn to work with clay, to pro- portion correctly in drawing and painting, and to understand the language of artists. The library. too, presents a form of culture. Here we find all types of books, and with the help of our competent staff, we can obtain almost any information our hearts may desire.

Social Stlldi6S -l Make Democracy Mean More What a wealth of knowledge we have at our disposal in the various branches of our social studies department! How fascinating is the study of our history. of our government and our democratic way of life. which we are so inclined to take for granted. We begin to realize how many freedoms we enjoy. and we discover how much toil, hardship. and heartaches our ancestors endured to gain for us all these privileges. When a student graduates from our high school, he goes forth into the world with a clear perception of his rights and privileges, and also his duties as an American citizen. .2 Part of the work in Government class includes a knowl- edge of current events, which are discussed once each week.
