LEN DON ALB H- AL INDUSTRIAL ARTS A manis greatness lies in his skill to do his chosen work well. Certainly Hope has to offer any future tradesman the finest facil- ities available. Powertools, wood- working materials, and metals provide a business preparatory student with a working knowledge of his trade, rather than just an- other completed course. Ably su- pervised by Mr. Ruoff, a boy can learn his own aptitudes and start preparing for his later career. WILLIAM L . SCHA LLER 28 L , , , , FLORENCE B. McCARTE CHESTER A. RUOFF Head of Industrial Arts Department CEORC HOME ECONOMICS Planned to help girls become more useful and intelligent mem- bers of their families, Home Economics deals with the educa- tion for home and family living. The students are encouraged to develop graciousness, courtesy, and hospitality, and to recognize and preserve family traditions. Know- ing about the social and economic changes that constantly affect family life helps the student to gain an understanding of related fields, such as dietetics, industrial man- agement, costume designing, nurs- ing, and homemaking, instrumental in teaching self-reliance and effi- ciency.

RT Miss Frances S. Burnham, with her touch FRANCES S. BURNHAM MUSIC The universal tongue understood by all peoples is music, the comprehensive, power- ful language of emotions. ln our music department, headed by Hope's revered Mr. Roger W. P. Greene, future musicians and students interested in music for enjoyment alone can learn to appreciate and under- stand the finer points of this great art. The Music History and Appreciation course, the finest of its type in the state, is an accredited college course. To provide for more effi- ciency in rehearsal, the band, orchestra, and drum corps are no longer an elective, but rather a scheduled activity. After a year of experimental working with a selec- tive group, the choir is making outstanding achievement. It is with a great deal of pride that we consider our Music Depart- ment, which has made great strides in bringing fine music to the participating pupil, the listening student body, and the general public. of genius, skillfully trains and interests pupils in the various phases of art-proper perspective, appreciation of design, and interpretation of form. For a particular group of students with extraordinary talent, the Art Department offers advanced courses, but in all the classes a certain basic skill is taught-that of crystallizing emo- tion into thought and then into the fixed form.
