ART DEPARTMENT G-A has two types of Art Classes--Fine Arts and Arts and Crafts. In Fine Arts we do drawing and sketching in as many mediums as possible. We try to develop an appreciation for all of the arts in general, through study of pictures and displays of completed art work and various materials. In Arts and Crafts we plan and carry out prob¬ lems. Design is studied at the beginning of the course to help the student plan creatively and deco¬ rate his project.

The objectives of Boys Physical Education in high school is to increase the overall physical de¬ velopment of the body. Muscle tone, agility and co-ordination are stressed in activities. Competi¬ tion, sportsmanship and health training are further emphasized. The purpose of Girl’s Physical Education is to help students grow and develop into the kind of citizens this country needs, not only physically, but also mentally, socially, and emotionally. Classes provide situations to keep girls physically fit, achieve confidence in themselves, express themselves in creative activities, and to have wholesome fun. VIRGINIA THERESE WINTER Gitfs! SCIENCE The science program is divided into two areas--natural and phy¬ sical. Students begin with general science as an introduction to all areas. It can be followed by biology, advanced biology, chemistry, and physics. This allows the student a better understanding of his environ ment and the laws governing these relationships. The student has a laboratoiy experience in all areas, as well as the mathematics concepts that relate to the laws involved. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The Industrial Education Department is divided into three areas: Drafting, woods, metals. This year, for the first time, we are of¬ fering two years of drafting and architec¬ tural drafting. Machine Woodworking and Furniture Construction are taught in the well-equipped woodworking shop. The metal shop offers several areas of interest to the student who is curious about •the many trades and processes of the world of industry. Many find satisfaction working in the areas of foundry, forging, machine shop welding, or sheet metal. VERNON W. CRAMER When I was your age. 12 ROGER EDWIN BOOMERSHINE Uh...
