R. To develop our aesthetic personality we add the beautiful strain of art. In this department we de- velop individual tastes and preferences. Whether we choose an old refrain in the classic school or the new melody of modern art, we gain a love of the beautiful which is necessary to complete our knowl- edge and to satisfy our souls. In Girls High we believe that art is for all, and Miss Katherine Comfort as head of the department emphasizes this fact in all the courses. Some girls study leathercraft under Miss Annie L. Liggin while others choose a different theme in art work such as costume designing, interior design, modeling, draw- ing and painting, or art appreciation. lPictures of Miss Liggin and Miss Comfort are not in the bookl. We learn the advantages of shading to cause a harmony of color tones. By grouping the various colors or using brilliant or pastel shades we are able to create lasting impressions and vivid pictures. After studying art we hope that our lives at Girls High will have the design and graceful coloring to create a lasting harmonious pattern. I. Mary Poole and Frances Miles pack the kiln with their pottery for a final baking. 2. When finishing touches are needed, Carolyn Davis can easily add them to the graceful figure that she is making. 3. Miss Kluttz shows an interested student the correct way to weave her mat of vari-colored hues. 4. It's hard to believe, but in the art classes rugs, mats, and pocketbooks are made from toweling and yarn. l May Kluttz

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Gertrude Cadwell Maude Parry Head of Department Athletic Association I. These talented girls show the technique of modern dancing in an assembly. 2. A knee-holding exercise will improve the posture of these students of Miss CadweII's posture classes. 3. Physical education classes find a new use for weighty volumes. 4. 'A Woman's Work' is never done , but Sue Reese seems happy in spite of that fact. By developing our bodies in the physical education department we acquire grace and poise. These two inflections help to give a student a more pleasing refrain. We are judged by the way we look and act, and if we sound a discordant note, we do not leave a favorable impression. A well-developed body moving with ease and grace is beautiful and rhythmic. A girl with these characteristics brings joy and hap- piness wherever she goes. As long as we practice fair play in our games, we will at the same time be developing clean minds. The harmony and coordination that we display here is carried into our future lives and makes us easier to get along with and more cooperative with our fel- low workers. By the various tempos of basketball, volley ball, archery, ping-pong, and tennis we finally develop the melodious harmony of well-balanced exercise. When our interest in sports accelerates, we are able to take an active part in intra-mural contests and compete for the championship. There is no thrill so exciting as scoring a point for our teams. Every student takes part in these gym classes, and as we play, our hearts are filled with the music of our hap- piness.
