l l Music The instrumental music department of Roose- velt lligh is an example of what conscientious training and instruction can develop in the way of youthful musicians from high school student material. The instrumental department is well organized and has its place among the regular classes of instruction, the band rehearsals being held during the fourth period every day and the orchestra on Tuesday and Friday evening. In- strumental students have not only the privi- lege of free use of instruments, but also have access to a remarkably well-stocked library. Mr. Verner Delianey, who took the place of Mr. Uonald tl. Tuttle at the beginning of the second semester, makes this statement for the annual, The Roosevelt High School vocal department at present is comprised of a mixed chorus that meets twice a week. From the weakest depart- ment in the high school and one which has not, evidently, attracted the students, We are hoping the annual of 1934 will have to refuse us space for our various activities.

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.

Natural Sciences Nature has played an enormous part in the de- velopment of mang consequently, the study ot' natural sciences deserves a high place in il school's curriculum. The program of courses of the Roosevelt High School contains four ol' these natural sciences, namely, chemistry, bi- ology, physics, and geology. Chemistry deals with the composition of sub- stances and the changes in the composition and constitution of molecules. In order that the student may understand more readily the prin- ciples of chemistry, he has the opportunity of working two days per week in an up-to-date and well-stocked laboratory, while the other three days are spent in the classroom. Biology, which is the scientific study of plants and animals, acquaints the student with living organisms and teaches him the manner in which each of these organisms, through its structure, carries out its function and lives in its environ- ment. Each student dissects both plants and animals to get a concrete illustration of the workings of nature. Physics presents a well-equipped laboratory to the one who Wishes to become versed in the laws of nature, the properties of matter, and the forces which act in nature. Intricate ap- paratus and extensive experimenting enable the student to grasp these laws .more securely, Physics stresses not only the laws of nature itself but also the ways in which man has used these laws. Geology. which is the study of the earth and its inhabitants, trains the student to be more alert as to his surroundings. It gives him the facts about the agents which construct and deg struct the lithosphere or the earth. TOP-A problem in cfvemulry. CENTER-Studying bacteria. V BEI.0W-Miss Barronfx, Mixy Ambroxe.
