14-4 C W g-TH-E LANTERN SCIENCE - Upon entering high school, the Freshman is introduced to the subject General Science. This acquaintanceship which lasts a year paves the way to the higher sciences. Botany and Biology become friendly to the Sophomore and hold his attention for two semesters. At this point, if the student is very much interested in the science family, he may seek the companionship of Physics. Having taken a year in learning the ways and manners of Physics the student may be desirous of including Chemistry. Finally, after spending four successful years with the Sciences and finding them agreeable, the student may be on his way to become a second Einstein. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT English apparently is the most important subject for it is the only one which is required for three and a half years. To teach all Hibbardites the art of intel- ligently, and possibly eloquently, expressing themselves either on paper or orally, we have the English Department with Miss Fick at the head. The department is well organized and has eleven teachers at the main building, three at Branch I and five at Branch II. The courses for each semester are carefully planned and followed out. The B or beginning semesters usually stress gram- mar and composition, while the A or advanced semesters deal for the greater part with literature. The course, as completely outlined, includes a great many features that would be too numerous to mention here. However, one of the outstanding features of the English Department is the Special English Class, under the direction of Miss Fick. This class aims to give a student the opportunity to develop his literary ability by giving him a Fine background. Many different types of work are taken up in this class. At pre- sent the creative workshop idea is being carried out a good deal while last semester good literature was studied for the greater part of the time. Also, members of this class are urged to join all kinds of contests and have many Limes proved successful. MUSIC Music is a minor and required for only two years. The course tries to give the student a general idea of the art and to cultivate an appreciation for the finer type of music. Besides the regular classes, however, the most im- portant sections of the department are the orchestra and the Choral Club. Credit is given for belonging to either the Choral Club or Orchestra just the same as any other regular subject.

tgp, yy pg 'PHE 1..1xN'1'ERN , I' . . . f i i SHOP zuzcrmc ART ROOM The Sewing Department has made many lovely things in the way of cloth- ing and making over old clothes. They have taken time to study the home and see the necessary interior decorations and try to make some, in order to Deautifv the proposed home. i ln the future the girls are planning to have a style show and display some of the lovely things they have made. TECH NICAL For those who wish to take technical subjects, there is the Teclmical course which includes work in the wood-shop, print shop, auto shop, electric shop, and mechanical drawing. This course is a foundation for further work in college or purely technical schools. These technical departments are more important to the school as a whole than one would imagine at hrst thought. The print-shop boys, do practically all the printing needed in school, especially putting out the XVeekly. The wood- shop and electrical boys take care of some of the stage-settings and electrical effects used in any of the performances given at school, always meeting with the approval of everyone. A R T ln every course except the Pharmacy, Art is a required subject. Two years of it are all that are necessary for graduation. However, in the Special Arts Course, Art is taken all four years, besides such subjects as History of Art and special art. The special art classes make practically all the posters used around school. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Since all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy so it is that in order to sharpen our wits we exercise our bodies by Physical Education. Gymnasium, although a minor, is required as long as one stays in high-school, thus giving us no chance to become dull through lack of exercise. NVhat is to be done each semester is fully outlined. Everyone takes part in the regular Gym classes while those who especially like athletics join either the B. A. A. or G. A. A. or get on some of the teams. So with all these opportunities to oil the brain through exercise of the body there is no reason why anyone should be dull at Hibbarct.
