cl-ls --- CRIM: soN ---1923 be given over to instruction on wind and string instruments, ensemble work of orch- estra and band. Through the efforts of a few of our business men and the Board of Education a Holding Company was formed which made possible the building of a gymnasium. A certain misunderstanding seems to exist as to the purpose of a gymnasium. The general idea is it is a place to play basketball games. This phase has been considered and necessary seating capacity has been builded to comfortably seat those desiring to witness such games. The real purpose oi having a gymnasium is a place where phys- ical education may be taught. ln order to give proper courses in physical education we must have the necessary plant. The gymnasium, athletic field and tennis courts will furnish all that is necessary in this line, and all athletic teams will be organized as a part of the Physical Education Department of the High School. Since the boys and girls who are members of the various teams make up a small percent of the stu dent body, and are the ones least needing physical training, special plans will be made to give every boy and girl work in physical education. It is purposed to organize classes for girls, meeting twice a week, the course being arranged for those needing correcting exercise, and who are not strong enough to stand regular gymnastics. This course will be under the direction of an individual who understands anatomy and will be able to give exercises that will correct these deficiencies. Group games will be featured as they are enjoyed more than ealisthenies and can be made to serve the same purpose. Similar courses will be given the boys. This plan will keep the gymnasium in use all dayy approximately half time to be given to girls and the other half day to boys. Dressing rooms, individual lockers, and shower baths will be installed so the entire equipment may be kept in a sanitary con- dition. Our theory is a clean, healthy body will tend to create a clean healthy mind, better fitted for the academic work. This is a brief and general discussion of the proposed curriculum to become ef- fective at the beginning of the next school year. PRINCIPAL, O. L.

cl-ls --- CRIMI son ---1923 semesters given to some of the subjects will be increased. In fact this department is a vocational department, and all who successfully complete the courses offered will be able to obtain employment in clerical work. Two years of stenography, two years of typewriting, one year of bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic and business English will be offered. Four rooms of the new building will be used to house this department, each room will be especially equipped for a particular course. lklore attention is being given to work in science than formerly. Especially is this true with applied science. Our facilities for development in this Department will be the equal of many colleges and universities. The biological laboratory and equip- ment will be placed on the ground floor. Three rooms and a small green house ad- jacent to one of the rooms will be used. The course in natural science will consist of general botanv, agricultural botany and biological physiology. The equipment for the physical sciences will be placed on the second floor and will consist of a suite of four rooms, a lecture and demonstration room, and adjoining on it either side the physical laboratory and chemistry laboratories. A special room or rooms are provided for proper storing of chemicals and apparatus. hiore effort will be made to build up the Art Department. Two years work in each of commercial and decorative art will be offered. Courses have been maintained in vocational work for girls. While the work will be continued the Department will be more closely co-related to the remainder of the curriculum than has been the practice in the past. Serving and cooking will be given the first yearg advanced sewing and cooking in the second year, in which attention to cafeteria work will be an outstanding featureg also preparation and serving of mealsg and the study of dietetics. Additional courses are home management and nursing and millinery. One small room is being equipped for pattern making, cut- ting and fittingg a larger room contains a number of sewing machines. For home management and home-making, one large room is divided by built in partitions into a suite of rooms similar to a Hat and these will eventually be furnished as living room, dining room and kitchen. For elementary and advanced cooking, a large cook ing laboratory is furnished with individual tables, and small gas stoves with ovens. Each table will contain necessary cooking utensils. Under the management of the Home Economics Department a large cafeteria will be operated for the purpose of serving hot lunch to pupils and faculty. This cafeteria may be used for many other functions. The capacity of the dining room will be for one hundred. This depart- ment will be located on the ground floor. The remainder of the ground floor will be occupied by the Manual Training Department for industrial work for boys. The rooms are arranged for wood work- ing, iron working, printing and automobile repairing. Only a part of these courses will be established at first and the remainder added as a demand for them is made. At the beginning, the wood working and automobile repair departments will be organized, and probably before the end of the year some metal work. Now that there is sufficient room the llflusic Department will be organized. A large room on the second floor will be available for music, as now planned half of each day will be devoted to vocal work, chorus classes and individual instruction. Also classes in harmony, history of music and appreciation will be organized if a sufficient number of pupils desire such courses. The remaining half of each day will - -- eos:-len - -- 15
