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

COMMERCIAL The meter in which the rhythm of the commercial department flows is composed of balance and repe- tition. From the regular mechanical action of typing and the movement of making characters in short- hand to the balance of the figures in bookkeeping, there is a harmonious cadence that is completed by the guidance of our teachers. The classes that are led by Mrs. McElheny, Miss Nell Booth, and Miss Theresa Haack lpictures of Miss Booth and Miss Haack do not appear herel are de- lightful tunes for those of us who take part in them. Working after school to finish budgets in typing or to attain speed in shorthand are inflections of fun for all. The subjects we take from these teachers are in joyful tempos. We find our instructors always ready to help us with a difficult note in our work. We ex- perience much enjoyment in learning each of the tiny details in the work, for we are capably directed through these measures of studies. The commercial subjects that we take are melo- dies that shall be useful in every score of our lives, and we are happy that, if we wish, we can begin singing them now. I. Mrs. Anne Dye McElheny, head of the commer- cial department, watches Mary Katherine Prickett as she types in class. 2. One of the typing classes practices under Mrs. McElheny's supervision to in- crease speed and accuracy. 3. Evelyn Knight takes the part of the banker in her bookkeeping class and acts as a teller to receive Violett Pilgrim's deposit. 4.
