THE COLONIAL 1 9 3 2 0 4 ez ART DEPARTMENT Art History is the only full solid in the Art department s pro- gram, the others being hall-solids. The half-solids include general art, design, poster art, stage design, commercial art, costume design, arts and crafts, and art appreciation. Seven hundred students are enrolled in these classes. Mr. William Paxton, head of the depart- ment, plans a class in sculpturing. The advertisements seen in the rotunda, and the artistic posters advertising the Senior color days and other events arc the work of the Art students. Other accomplishments of this department were shown at various times in the rotunda and library cases. The Art Department is di- vided into two groups. Crafts and Fine Arts. Arts and Crafts under Miss Odgard, and stage design and painting under Mr. Kurvers, represent the first of the two groups, while the latter is exemplified by costume design and pose classes. BOYS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION Corrective and regular gym classes are the divisions of the Boys’ Gym department which has an enrollment of 1125 boys. During the spring term the gym classes engaged in a track meet. First, the classes during the same period met, and the first three places in each event were taken. Then these boys met the winners of the other periods in a final meet held after school. This department sponsors the competitive athletics. It was cal- culated that 30 per cent of the Fairfax boys are in athletic competi- tion. The boys can try for basketball, baseball, football, track, or tennis teams. All of these sports, except tennis, are divided into classes according to weight, age. grade, and so forth. Fairfax should be proud of her athletes of former years. Many of these boys have attained high honor in collegiate and pro- fessional athletic fields. I «0 1
