Take a letter, Miss Jones COMMERCIAL Hundreds are aware of the opportunities await- ing them outside the classes of EHS in the busi- ness world of today. Preparation for this work must be done in a manner that will bring satis- factory results in actual work. Through the classes in typing, shorthand, and general office practice, each student has opportunity to become expert in the class of his choice. Each student is able to advance under the helpful direction of Miss Robinson, Miss Gustafson, and Mr. Horner. Lecture today-test tomorrow SOCIAL SCIENCE Today, because of world situations, it is even more important that we learn to live intelligently with our fellowmen and companions. The social science courses, American Problems, Modern America, Sociology, World Problems, Orientation, and Psychology, provide us with the opportunity to learn the values of true Americanism. The teachers, each fully capable of justifying his posi- tion as teacher of these courses, are: Mr. Brooks, American Problems and Orientation, Mr. David- son, Modern America, and Mr. Hackman, World Problems. The purpose of these courses, all of which are prerequisites of graduation, is not only to acquaint us with the knowledge of how to pre- pare a dinner with a can-opener, but how to hold a job of advancement with respect and civility toward fellow-beings.

Not jive-merely Spanish :,,. F Q . gi H , - s. . f-wif? 1. Y is ,S Perfect audience l?i LANGUAGE Whether you imagine yourself as a Maid of Spain, a Matador, a Roman Senator, or a Joan of Arc, you will find an atmospherein the lan- guage classes that will greatly enhance the art of the language -itself. Daily you can hear stu- dents struggling over Caesar or exclaiming over the beauty of a French play, as our Tower of Babble engulfs the school. The value of know- ing other languages is fully acknowledged by those who have studied them. They find that it not only gives them a broader view of other people and their customs, but it greatly helps them understand the English language. The linguistic teachers are Miss Mary Archibald, who teaches Latin, and Miss Florence Sullivan, who teaches French and Spanish. Page 6 ENGLISH The English teachers, Misses Hood, Lewis, McElroy, Florence Sullivan, and Mr. Powers in- struct in one of the largest branches of the school curriculum. Each student, during his high school days, must have at least two and a half years of English, however, the opportunity for enrolling in numerous elective courses is great and is taken up by a large number of pupils. An account ofthe English department would not be complete with- out mentioning the loss of Mr. Abrums, now in the armed service. Although he won the admir- ation of all, Miss McElroy is to be well com- mended tor filling his vacancy. Without the English courses, surely we would all be without the knowledge so necessary to exercise our demo- cratic rights-freedom of speech! i X gf T iii I S

ARTS The Arts Department, with three divisions of activity and study, offers students an opportunity to learn by doing, brings them in direct contact with a great variety of materials, and offers an opportunity for the student to work on lines of his own interest and to progress at his own rate of speed. Mr. Humphrey, Instructor in the In- dustrial Arts division and head of the newly or- ganized department, supervises students working in the areas of drafting, printing, woodworking, and the various crafts. The Division of Fine Arts, under Miss Rember, offers work in design and drawing fundamentals, color theory, art appre- ciation, and actual work with various mediums. The Home Arts division, under Mrs. Decker, en- ables girls to learn the techniques of home mak- Page 8 Wotcha Makin'? ing. Under Mrs. Decker's supervision, the en- tire home economics department has been re- modeled this year. Throughout the department, student work is of laboratory nature, as the em- phasis is placed upon Iearning by doing--a maxi- mum of student activity is attained. PHYSICAL EDUCATION i In keeping with the times, all the boys of Englewood High School have been meeting twice a week to take a course in advanced calisthenics under the direction of Kenny Goff, boys ath- letic director. Realizing that keeping fit for the war effort is important, those attending the classes have entered into these courses with great sincerity.
