FACULTY IDEAS deeply essential to practical living have been instigated this year by Miss Kath- erine Mauthe, Science head, who has attempted to create individualism by fostering interest in some phase of the course, and to give each student a hobby. New in the Commercial Department, of which Miss Mabel Snoeyenbos is head, was the requirement that each member of the Shorthand IV class work at least one week in the principal's office for practical experience. Home Economics classes under Miss Jane Crow and her assistant, Miss Neva Houk, utilizing old material flargely old band capcsj completed seventy-six childrcn's dresses for the Welfare Association. Training for sure-handed thinking, the slogan which the Manual Training Depart- ment, under Mr. W. M. Phares, took this year, showed its influence in completed projects. There was effort to combine the different vocational plans with an emphasis on the practical side. Carrie Longfellow, Vivian Peterson, Mabel Snoeyenbos, Ione Helgrason. . N. page fifteen

FACULTY SERVICE never quite paid for in student interest and appreciation comes from a staff of forty-five experienced men and women who direct us not only in the many curricular branches of study but also in innumerable activity projects. The English Department undertook this year a progressive step. Under Miss Ruth Goodrich, department head, the teachers, with diagnostic tests, examined tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades for English ills, drilled on weaknesses, and retested to note achieve- ment, comparing class medians with national medians. ln credit bonuses for magazine and newspaper clippings the Latin Department, headed by Miss Mary Boxwell, stressed the relation between current life and Latin. French was added to the curriculum. Educational projects enlivened the study in history of which department Dean Sigurd Jorgenson of Junior College was head. Through intensive work this year, mathematics teachers compiled for Miss Ethel Shannon, department head, typewritten Workbooks to save expense for students.

'QE FACULTY T1-Hs year noted mass work and more enthusiasm in the entire school physical education program, and though it was necessary to cut down in sports, nothing was definitely elim- inated according to Mr. Fred N. Cooper, head. Mr. J. Howard Orth and Miss Lucile Corey of the Music Department had their hands full to satisfy the many calls for public performances. Mrs. Clara Dean took charge of freshmen and transformed Room 16 into a room in which it has been a pleasure to study. So many new users have been added to the library this year that Miss Catherine Cruik- shank, librarian, has had Junior College and High School assistants, and has used student librarians for Study Halls 101 and 102. For the first time crafts have been emphasized by Miss Marian Maag in art. Problems, design, and color have concerned Art I students, While advanced classes have worked on individual projects.
