 LUTCH down, check for neutral, are some of the most famous words used by Mr. White, instructor of Driver Education. Theory classes are held three times a week. Here the students have an opportunity to learn all about the automobile and how it functions. Once a week they are given road training and at the termination of the course are ready for the state road test. The Industrial Arts Department at the Prospect Street School which offers courses in general metal, electricity, and wood and leather working, is under the able direction of Mr. Monsell and his staff. Its wide scope makes it possible to obtain a well-rounded background in the understanding of tools and machines, industrial processes, work- ing conditions, problems of industry and labor and the processing of raw materials into finished products.

nu THE whole world enjoys the soothing strains of fine music. Under the competent leadership of Miss Boyle, the students achieve a greater understanding of this art, which is superbly dis- played at its outstanding winter and spring con- certs. The repertoire, throughout the year, spotlights the major essentials of music as performed by the orchestra, band, choir, and glee clubs, all of which compose this department. THE Dramatics Department specializes in the study and application of public speaking and drama. Public speaking develops the student’s poise, self expression and speaking ability. This is car- ried on under the guidance of Miss Randall, chairman of the department. Drama provides the students with experience in one of the most fasci- nating of the communicative arts. During the course of the year, the entire school enjoys the numerous productions presented by this department.

UeJ PHYSICAL education and health are both very necessary for the proper functioning of our school. The health office is the infirmary for anything from a broken arm to a stomach ache, thus ren- dering first aid to the teachers, students and custodians. Here, cases are handled by either Miss Best, the school nurse, or Doctor S. A. Combes, our school physician. Another division, the Physical Education De- partment, consists of the boys' and girls' ath- letic activities. The boys' predominant sports are football and basketball followed by wrestling, bowling, track, and softball. The girls take part in softball and basketball, but nothing is more exciting than their prepara- tions for Greek Games. Therefore, you can see why health and physical fitness go hand in hand in establishing sound citizens. B. Voorhies gives R. Campanella medical aid. John Streeter and Raymond Meyer practice calisthenics in Mr. Krause's gym class. 23
