Besides exercising, everybody gets a chance to get excited about a close score in basketball, base- ball, football, and volleyball. Then there are the swimming classes, and those in health. Physical education is essential for the healthy bodies-the only bodies-which hold healthy minds. LIBRARY XYe are lucky indeed to have such a large library and such an excellent staff of librarians. VVhen the freshie Hrst enters Hyde Park, he quickly becomes acquainted with the library's many books and magazines. And he goes on using these facilities until he is a senior. The librarians are always there in case of trouble- to help find a book, to find a reference, or to answer questions. 27

They are staring striaght ahead at a chart on the wall and talking to themselves. Ah, comes the dawn-they are looking at a chart of the typewriter keyboard, and they are repeating the letters on that chart to themselves, thus learning the positions of the letters on the typewriter. None of that Columbus system for them. You know how that goes, don't you? Explore and discover. What is going on in this school? Look at the hieroglyphics on the wall-they look like chicken scratches. This is one of the short- hand classes. Take your pick ofthe secretaries early. They are going fast. WVould you like to be a Fuller Brush man? have a forceful personality? Then selling and advertising arejust the subjects for you. After 26 you have finished this course, you will be able to knock on any door, push your foot into the opening, and sell any old thing with a vibrant personality, poise, and a smile. Of course you may encounter some over-worked and disgruntled housewife . . . All kidding aside, selling and advertising are excellent courses. Other commercial studies offered are com- mercial law and commercial geography. All of the commercial subjects will be a great help to you, whether you go into business or not. You can always use shorthand and typ- ing-in college and on many other occasions all during your life. Many students leave Hyde Park and immediately go to work. Others go on to business college. But all students agree that the training they received at Hyde Park was really super,

N.APIERALSKI, B.S. in Engineering MUSIC AND ART Two of the courses offered at Hyde Park are designed to give some of that polish which combines with the three R's to make culture. One of these courses is music. It is clearly understood, of course, that some people can't carry a tune in a basket. But everyone can gain a knowledge and understanding of music. Some of the teaching is done by means of records. This is a painless means of teaching the elements of music, the sounds and uses of the various instruments-and the necessity of the inevitable scales. The students also put the theory of music into practice by singing many popular and semi-classical songs. Besides teaching and learning a lot of music in the classrooms, the teachers and students ofthe music department are also very active in most of the performances given at Hyde Park. Various choruses and orchestras par- ticipate in many assemblies, give performances for the P.T.A., and are important parts of 28 many shows. The climax ofthe music depart- ment's activities is reached in the Music Fes- tival, in which the whole music department unites to present a brilliant show. In the art department, also, one is recon- ciled to the fact that budding Rembrandts are rare. There are many phases to the art program-making masks, drawing plans for a future home, creating stage sets-orjust paint- ing plain pictures. But among all these activ- ities, everyone is bound to Hnd something that is to his liking. And there's method in the madness-for by coming into constant contact with all the phases of art, the Student is bound to learn to like and appreciate it. The art department, too, has many projects, and it turns out many prize-winning posters. For a good knowledge and appreciation of art and music, you will value and enjoy these two courses.
