' 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,.

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

Xxx NNN XXX jke Saeciaf .xdppeaf jrenckp For centuries French has been a favorite second or third language among cultured people the world over. And no wonder. It is limpid and beautiful in sound. Then, too, French literature, scientific writings, and philosophical works are equally distinctive in various ways. One of their outstanding qualities is lucidity. This is notably true at least of some of France's most characteristic. novels, plays, and essays. Another quality that is especially French is the cultivation of a highly civilized attitude. For such reasons and others, French is steadily gaining in popularity among Englewood students. An uppermost reason for this is the enthusiastic regard felt for the French language, French literature, and French generally by Mr. Wloodson-Levey, chairman of our foreign language department. This enthusiasm is shared warmly, moreover, by our teachers of French-Miss Coggins and Mrs. Reed. That lively spirit, moreover, has passed on to our students, it seems. The photos on this page bear eloquent testimony to this gratifying development.
