The Jayem Symphony Our editor types Jayem’s physical education classes provide en- joyment for many students. These classes also provide exercises that keep the students physi- cally fit. The art classes are kept busy helping organiza- tions carry out the projects they undertake to do. They make extremely attractive posters on many timely events. They are always willing to help in any way they can. Besides this, they become skilled in molding clay, making vases, and many other things. Many of the art students furnish drawings for the school publications when they are needed. A new course was offered this year in photog- raphy. This subject proved to be extremely interesting, and more are expected to enroll in it by next term. The class first studied instruction slides from a large photo supply manufacturer in this country. These future photographers learned how to take good pictures and how to develop and print their own material. John Marshall has many extra departments {21} Soft and serious Vim, vigor, and vitality Physics

Physical education There’s a good one Sight Conservation Class how to select and care for their clothes as well as how to make them. Sometimes these classes have fashion shows at which time they display the outfits they have made in class. In cooking classes the girls particularly enjoy serving the delicious foods that they have prepared. Often outside guests are invited to these gatherings. A new course was offered this year in commercial foods. The course takes the first three periods, and at lunch time the girls serve the foods they have prepared to the teachers in the newly opened tea room. Not only are the lunches delicious, but they are nutritious and inexpensive. While oper- ating this small tea room at school, the girls learn more about the management of a regular tea room. John Marshall also has classes in music, both vocal and instrumental. The school orchestra takes part in many activities as well as the vocal classes. Sometimes they present programs in the assembly. They also take part in music festivals. In whatever they undertake they receive much praise from music critics. Are you in the red? Wonder if it will work?

They help students in their choice of studies, help some to locate jobs that are best suited for them, help others that are going to college select the college that will help them most, and give useful information to prospective students. These people are on the job all the time to render service in any way they may be needed. “Please, may I buy another book?” Cadets in the tunnel There is the sight conservation class directed by Mrs. Burruss for those whose eyes are bad. She helps them in reading, typing tests and other papers in large type for them, and guides these handicapped pupils in any other way that she can. Our cafeterias are in exceedingly capable hands. Each day students may buy tasty hot lunches at a very low cost. Since our books are furnished us free of charge by Richmond, they are used by many people and must be taken care of. Mr. Lux is in charge of the book room. He issues books to teachers that are in turn issued to the students. He looks after the ordering of new books and the binding and mending of old books. If a book has been lost, Mr. Lux is the person to see about paying for it and getting another to replace it. It is often said that an apple a day keéps the doctor away, but it just seems that sometimes we get sick anyway. That’s where Miss Michaux, our nurse, comes in. She determines whether we are all Journalists in the making right to come back to school and when we are sick 22 }
