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.

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.
