Bookcase Building And Sore Guidance is a vital part of our industrial arts program. The United States is in the position it is today because of tile numerous citizens who are highly trained in the field of industry. Without industrial arts, where would our country be? Our homes, our schools, our business, and our defense depend on the ability of the men who are devoted to the great business of industry. Our school is extremely fortunate in having such an advanced Industrial Arts Department. Our boys are given the opportunity to learn their chosen profession from beginning to end. They are instructed in mechanical drawing, blueprint reading, woodwork, machine shop, and maintenance. Our industrial curriculum also includes classes for those who wish to excel in one of the many special fields of industry such as printing, metals, leather craft, and electricity. These boys are just beginning their role of an industrial worker by taking advantage of the fine Industrial Arts Department in Willkie High.

And Tabulate Figures. Miss House instructs the office machines class in the daily routine of a competent secretary. Willkie High is very well equipped to give our students a fine opportunity to advance in the field of business education. These people are very fortunate to be under the direction of such a competent teaching staff as we have in our commercial department, for all through our lives we are in contact with the business world. For those who are anticipating a business career, whether it be a secretary, a salesman, or a business executive, our school offers outstanding guidance in the commercial curriculum, such as typing, shorthand, general business, office machines, secretarial training, selling, and bookkeeping. Even for those who do not intend to major in commerce, such subjects as typing and bookkeeping are invaluable assets. Business is a routine thing in our daily lives. The men and women who are employed non-commer-cially are constantly dealing with the world of commerce. Even the homemaker must be educated in business matters, for it is her job to manage the home in an efficient and orderly manner. In order to become better equipped for the future which lies ahead, it would be wise to consider business when we are given such a great opportunity as we are given here in Willkie High.

Muscles Are Part Of School Too Physical education is required for all Freshmen and Sophomores in Elwood High School. Classes are conducted at regularly scheduled periods, attendance is carefully checked and the student is graded according to the ability and interest shown. Each class meets three days a week. In physical education classes, the boys participate in many of the major sports, such as, basketball, boxing, volley ball, and tumbling. The intention of this class is to awaken the interest of each individual, so that he realizes the necessity of maintaining a careful inventory of his physical well- being. The Girl's Physical Education class is enjoyed by almost every girl in high school because it breaks the monotony of school work. It also relieves tension and makes the girls relax. The girls participate in such activities as volley ball, ring toss, basketball, tumbling, and dancing. The girls also must establish physical stability. This is accomplished by exercising in die physical education classes. All in all these classes help us to maintain a co-ordination of the body and mind. LORRAINE LEWELLEN, A3.
