The motto, All work and no play has surely been disproved in the girls' gym classes. Here the girls are learn- ing the rules ot basketball as they compete against each other on teams formed in the individual classes, An important aspect of education, the gym class gives the student a chance to release some at the physical ener- gy that has been building up while sitting in other classes. Although the students learn in gym there is no end tothe fun to be had Six weeks ot health seems like tor- ture to the boys after basketball, toot- ball, baseball, tumbling, and swim- ming. Physical education does more than build bodies. lt teaches sports- manship and provides one period a day tor some healthy recreation. Six hundred students can be accom- modated in the library, theretore, tests are often given there. lt's more com- mon use is for research work on term papers and book reports during study halls and before and after school. Red leather easy chairs were added to a corner of the library this year to be used by the students interested in rec- reational reading. 8

ln Professor Blackburn's senior English class the emphasis is placed upon composition and English litera- ture. No student will ever forget Macbeth complete with sword play, reading the Atlantic Monthly, and Mr. B's funny glasses. Brakes, clutch, electrical system, motor - these are all familiar words in the automotive classes which are designed to intelligently select, use, and repair automobiles. Stressed equally with the fundamentals of au- tomotive construction and mainten- ance are the appreciation and care of tools, good working habits, and the responsibilities of car ownership. The seniors with a true interest in advanced mathematics can be found in the two solid geometry and trigon- ometry classes. Many of the third dimensional pictures seem difficullt to understand, but with the aid of models and a large supply of pointers the laws of space are soon learned, Through trig the students learn that all logs don't come from trees, since the use of logs is helpful in solving for ci side of a triangle. 7

ln Euclid's typing classes the future secretaries are trained to enter into the competitive business world. Most of the beginning typing students have never typed more than their names, but after starting with the alphabet and working up to writing business letters they increase their technique and speed enough to enter advanced classes. Printing is one of the many courses offered by the industrial arts depart- ment. Beginning students learn the fundamentals of type setting, after which they learn to operate platen presses to print tickets, programs, and office forms. The advanced students lock up and print the school paper on a flat bed cylinder press as well as learning the fundamentals of lithog- raphy. ln the office practice room only the advanced students in the commercial field are allowed to work. Each secre- tary is assigned to a certain teacher and they ditto tests, check papers, record grades, and make out the grade cards. They also learn to operate the Burroughs adding machine, the book- keeping machine, the ediphone, and the electric typewriter, 9
