X- J Our orchestra is an important part of many school functions such as assembly programs and com- mencement exercises. Under the direction of Mrs. Piedra. this group of sixty-five students all display the ability to play an instrument proticiently. This past year the orchestra has played for the P.T.A. Christmas program, the Service Assembly. Pan- American Day. and Commencement. To Mrs. Piedra and sixty-five very talented students we owe one of the most enjoyable forms of entertainment at Flush- ing High School. Both the Junior and Senior Chorus are under the direction of Miss Miller. The Junior Chorus is comparatively new. lt was organized by Miss Miller in 1936 and now is composed of eighty-five students. These students perform for many assembly programs and make occasional appearances. Once a student is graduated from the Junior to Senior Chorus, he learns more than the fundamental of singing. Miss Miller instructs this group in sight reading and recognition of keys. The Senior Chorus performs annually for the P.T.A. and sings each June at Commencement exercises. Both the Junior and the Senior Chorus have supplied Flushing High School with many enjoyable hours of delightful musical performances. .., ORCHESTRA A nftffrw Q. 92, of '7 ' rs it 935, Row I: Billy Reiseher, David Deversky. .loan Evens, Deanna Akulin, Abby Heyn, Llewelyn Scharlack, Hariet Roth.

The goal of the Commercial Department is to train pupils in the practical application of secretarial skills so that they may start work in the business field im- mediately following graduation. ln order to receive a commercial diploma, the candidate must have three units in either stenography or bookkeeping, and two terms of secretarial training. Specialized instruction is given in the use of the mimeograph, the electric type- writer, the comptometer, the ditto-machine and the Rex- o-graph. The Industrial Arts Department of Flushing High School trains students for a vocation. There are special- ized shops for drafting and work with metals, wood, and electricity. This work serves to familiarize the student with what will probably be his chosen field after graduation.

All Flushing High School students, whether or not they are the I can't draw a straight line type, take two terms of Required Art. Grades are based on efforts, rather than talent. For those students who can draw a straight line, the Art Department offers courses in Basic Art and Advanced Art. Artistic talents play a prime role in extra- curricular activities at Flushing High School. At rally time, political parties stake claims on either side of the halls. Art com- mittees gather in basements, producing eye- catching design and jargon to solicit party slates. The finest art work of Flushing High students is published each term in Folio, the creative literary and art publication.
