A strong body is necessary to a good soldier or a good citizen. Everett high school's physical education teachers carry out a program which aims to give students physical recreation in addition to their regular studies. The P. E. teachers have the additional tasks of helping students in extracurricular ac- tivities. Mr. Gowan is basketball coach, Miss Aitkens advises the Girls Athletic Club. and Mr. Smith is director of athletics. Anyone can and does get sick-even a high school student. Our school provides a nurse to whom students may go when they feel the neces- sity. Examination of these students by the nurse may prevent the needless spread of an epidemic.

Mathematics is always a neces- sary subject, but in time of war it is especially important.

McCormack, Valhorg Ofstie, John Kolkana, and Noel Walther. Future office workers are trained by the Commercial Department. Standing: Dora Knapp. Cora Lynn Smith, Robert Briggs. Seated: Dorothy Miller, Helen Lalin, and Anna Sturgeon. Clicking of many typewriters and adding machines greet a visitor to the rooms of the commercial department.

The department, besides its regular duties, is helping those boys and girls who will enter into the armed forces after graduation. Homemaking will play an important role in the post-war world: thus the arts taught by the home economics instructors are vital. Vocational instructors are training young men to step into the industrial world as competent workers. Car repair, electrical work, and operation of machines are but a few of the profitable trades in which students are trained. Right: Shop teachers-R. B. Farr, B. E. Smead, Harold Cosser, Guy S. Rose.
