,Mdfwy SOITLE5 30 In a democracy all citizens and future citizens play an important part in making the country's history. At least they should ideally. Students in Mr. Martin's classes in U.S. History are made sharply aware of this. Stressed particularly in that connection is the role each of them can play in giving direction to our nation's ever-changing development. Thus to students in these classes history is transformed 'from mere words in cold print to something close to home. It takes on new meaning and new dimensions. It takes ,on the breath of life. It becomes vital and dynamic, and of direct, vivid, and intimate concern to the boys and girls involved. The attitude generated in l'vIr. Martin's classes is discernible in the faces and posture of the students in the adjoining photography. igltyaica ecjuired Wuckg gall do QUE UGA Physics is an exacting subject. It requires continuous and close attention on the part of those studying the science. Perfect precision is essential. For the self-discipline all this entails there is, however, ample reward. First there is ,the gratifying sense of accomplishment which results from vic- toriously carrying through something mighty difficult. Secondly, there is the escalation in mental growth and self- confidence that is a significant by-product of having met the challenge entailed. There is in the study of physics also an opportunity for creative accomplishment. An enthusiastic teacher such as Mr. C. Smith conveys a genuine appreciation of the creative potentialities in this field to his students. A dawn- ing realization of the scope of these potentialities is some- how suggested by the action photo of the group of budding scientists on this page. 2xmass-wwwxsmmwfxsbwfi?'11sY .sis sq svsusx we :si wsu -is is-as '

' earning gy :Doing .911 OMF' 'IMJPLJLOIQ Mr. C. W. Johnson, head of our Art De- partment, is not only a highly respected crea- tive artist in general. He has for years made a specialty of mural painting-as is evident in our corridors where murals of his are almost constantly on display. Moreover, these large paintings have value not merely as art but also by virtue of the ,message and inspiration they bring to our students. As can be seen, furthermore, in one of the photos on this page, students in his art work- shop receive special instruction in painting murals. They thus directly benefit from his extensive experience in this type of artistic creativity. And from the looks of things they are making the most of this with diligence, enthusiasm, and very creditable results. ,gn .Sawing aya sggiyxgigg-.Qt-Q...-..ts...t,.ctscc.,, .t,. Q ta- :- -.:f,,.,c.:5sc:.,,,:,.gs:3.,:.E,MEb' 'Rx is , ' . Sewing is a craft, a most useful and satisfying one. Many who learn to sew well make an art of it also, par- ticularly if they develop an aptitude for designing the garments they make. In an emergency, individ- uals who have built up a note- worthy skill in sewing can earn much needed cash by making practical use of this skill. Those fortunate enough not to have to do this can save money merely by making many items of their own ward- robe. Furthermore, they can in effect save additional money by making garments for other members of their family. In doing this they not only save money. They enhance their self-regard as well. They thereby gain greater psycho- logical strength. Mrs. Moten, instructor of our Clothing Classes, is ever mindful of all these factors, and she imbues her students with la lively appreciation of them. She also strives to de- velop in them good taste as regards what kind of clothes to wear and what kind not to wear. '---.. ..: .,,. NXx NlN .sckvwwss+sNs..sastMsM
