Shops In addition to academic courses, the Virginia High School offers numerous vocational sub- jects in which are taught the mechanical trades. These subjects are given in a system of shops, one of the best in the country. Each boy in junior high school is given a varied course in shop training in order that he may choose more easily the mechanical trade which he might desire to take up. After this intro- ductory training, he may choose any of the fol- lowing shop courses: printing, woodwork, turn- ing, foundry, forging, machine shop, electricity, auto repair, or drafting. In the printing department the student has hand composition, press work, and some linotype in- struction. In woodwork and turning, he learns to work with carpentry tools and machines. Foundry, forging, and machine shop consist of instruction concerning metals and metallic pro- ducts. The electricity course helps to explain the mysteries of electrical appliances. Auto repair is beneficial in teaching youthful mech- anics the workings of the auto. TOP--W00dW07k practice. CENTER-Mr. Wieland. RIGHTTMY. Buntrock, Mr. Pottsmitlv.

. English The purpose of the English course is twofold: to instruct the student in the essentials of compo- sition and grammar and to instill in him an appreciation of literature. The functional grammar drills of sophomore English aid the students in developing correct habits of speech. The composition work gives training in writing effectively. In the semester's rhetoric course for seniors, emphasis is again placed on func- tional grammar and upon the forming of unified and coherent sententes and paragraphs. The student preparing for college finds in the course an excellent review and foundation for his col- lege English, and the student who enters the vocational field should be better able to fill his place in society. The courses in English and American literature aim to give an experience in literature, vital in itself. They are, it is hoped, an adventure which will send readers questing to discover further beauty for them- selves. TOP--,411 English Claxxmom. CENTERfMlX5 ilfnrfarlanc.

Physical Education Progress has long been symbolized by the de- velopment of the human body. From the Olym- piads of three thousand years ago to those of today, men have been striving in physical com- petition. However, taking modern athletics in a broader view, it is a recognized fact that training results not only in a higher physical development but in all-around betterment, Split- second accu1'acy, instant comprehension, the ability to draw logical conclusions in a flash of the mind are the result of careful training in these sports. Truly, modern athletics is more of a game between brains than brawn. In this branch of development Virginia has done its work well. Our athletic department has a record of which it can be justly proud. As the other branches of education have been specializ- ed, so has our athletic department directed by Mr. Hurst been divided under the supervision of Mr. Michels, Mr. Eide, Mr. Boardman, Miss Por- than, Miss Swedberg, Miss Lomen, and Miss Anderson.
