This territory is subdivided into nine grammar school dis- tricts as shown. On May 4, 1920, the Ex-Oflicio Board detached all of gram- mar school districts 104, 107, 108 and 109 and parts of 103 and 106. The present area of the district is bounded by the heavy broken lines.

Report of the President With the school year of 1928-1929, Lyons Township High School is beginning another era in its steady develop- ment. The addition to its material equipment makes possible greater progress than in the past. With a strong and capable faculty, and the cooperation of an earnest student body, the value of the school to our district will continue to enhance. The Board and the Faculty are united in believing that a good physique is an important part of a well rounded educa- tion. The boys' new gymnasium which was used during part of the last school year has contributed greatly to the pro- gramme of physical education. An important adjunct is a four lane 75 yard indoor straight away track specially floored for its purpose. There is also provided a room specially equipped for corrective gymnastic work. The older gymnasium, with its lockers and showers, has been renovated and will be devoted exclusively to the physical training of the girls. Miss Catherine Thompson who comes to our school from Clayton, Missouri, after a successful regime and a voluntary and regretful departure, will be in charge of the physical education of girls. Ideas of those expert in physical education con-cerning the methods of attaining desired physical fitness have been grad- ually changing and progressing so that, instead of a pro- gramme of calisthenics and expert gymnastic exercises not particularly attractive to the average student, result is sought and, in an increasing degree, attained by a combination of gymnasium work and participation in -the so-called athletic ac- tivities requiring more or less field area. In accord with the latter idea, the Board has acquired for the district 264 feet of frontage on Cossitt Avenue immedi- ately west of the present athletic field. This addition for Em- mond Field will give it nearly 800 feet of frontage on Cossitt Avenue extending north to the property of the Chicago, Bur- lington and Qunicy Railroad. 1928-Year Book-1929 11 The development of this tract to serve the athletic needs of a rapidly growing school and also to accommodate the con- stantly increasing number of those outside the student body who are interested in athletics is being given careful study by Messrs. Pratt and Vaughan of the Board and Messrs. Stenger and Gordon of the Faculty. I-t is expected that a plan will be adopted and some preliminary Work commenced before the end of this year. In addition to the above work the Board has authorized the construction of tennis courts to occupy the unused space at the southwest corner of the block on which the school building stands. It is expected that these courts will be constructed before the coming winter and be ready for early spring use. The Board feels that the work above outlined is necessary for the development of the High School plant for its proper uses and believes that with all the facilities so willingly made possible by the people of the District, our school will continue its high standing among the suburban high schools of Cook County. It is our duty as men and women and citizens to properly equip youth to succeed us and continue progress. We will not recede or fail in such an exalted endeavor. ROBERT C. FLETCHER, President. Report of the Principal As an institution increases in numbers it becomes neces- sary to furnish additional physical equipment. In no type of institution is this more true than in a school. The very organ- ization of a school is of such a nature as to require housing fa- cilities in direct ratio to varying enrollments. Lyons Township High School has grown substantially during the past decade as is shown by the following table of enrollments and grad- uates: Year Enrollment Graduates 1918 470 77 1919 508 65 1920 624 80 1921 648 '71 1922 680 91 1923 730 1 19 1924 800 130 1925 858 140 1926 938 157 1927 1007 180 1928 1109 177 Another evidence of the growth of the school may be seen in the fact that although the .institution has existed for forty years, more than half of all graduates have graduated in the last six classes. Modern schools must give to their students greater facilities of a physical nature to offset the lack of ac- tivities other than those of the school, in order to fill up the hours of leisure time. The chore 'boy is a forgotten member of our American community. High Schools must substitute ex- tra-curricular activities for the chores of former times and in order to do so must have additional space both within and without the four walls. Ethical and moral ideals are far more permanently established indirectly through actual participa- tion in activities with other students under competent direc- tion than by direct appeal to do what is right High school students are at an age when things aesthetic make an especial appeal. School environment consequently -should be artistic and should lead to an appreciation of things beautiful. Youth of such communities as those which comprise the Lyons Town- ship High School District have every reason to expect that opportunities for ethical moral and artistic development as well as for intellectual advancement shall be furnished them. Education has a far broader connotation than the mere trans- rnitting of historical lore and scientific facts. No community can afford to deny its youth opportunities for spiritual and aesthetic culture. In October 1926, President F. K. Vial initiated a new era for L. T. H. S. when he broke ground for a new building. On June 5, 1928 the community had presented to it a new building with opportunities for all types of cultural activities.

A brief summary of the physical plant of Lyons Township High School is herewith submitted. C11 With the acquistion of an additional 264 feet of ground on the north side of Cossitt Avenue through condemnation proceedings, there will be an athletic field of a little more than seven acres. This athletic field will be arranged to make available ample space forl physical training and athletics for both boys and gir s. C21 In the original building and additions built prior to the present addition are located: fab A library of 4000 volumes housed in adequate room with possible seatings for one 'hundred forty pupils. fbi A study hall seating 250 pupils. ich A science lecture room seating 67 pupils. Cdl A chemistry laboratory accommodating 25 pupils. fel A physics laboratory accommodating 25 pupils. ffl A domestic science kitchen accommodating 24 pupils. fgh A typewriting room with twenty-three machines. fhb A modern cafeteria seating 230 or more at one time. CU A girls' gymnasium, with office, lockers, showers, and running track. fjj A series of rooms for Manual Training work. fkj Twenty-nine additional classrooms equipped for other special or general work. Q33 The new addition more than doubles the floor space of the original building and the earlier additions and is par- ticularly designed for fostering the aesthetic and cultural phases of education. The factors of utility and beauty can only be appreciated when the building has been visited and studied. Suffice it to say, that this building is worthy of any community and will furnish ample opportunity to educate 2000 or more pupils at the same time that it offers to the public possibilities for a real community center. This new addition contains the following: fab An auditorium beautifully designed and decorated in the gold and blue of the high school. It has 1834 fully upholstered seats in addition to accommodating 60 in the orchestra pit and 250 or more on the stage. A fully equipped stage, selective lighting, moving picture equipment, and a pipe organ makes this room ideal for school and public performances alike. For- tunately, the acoustic properties of the room are ex- cellent. The entrances and foyer to the auditorium are in Mankato marble and their beauty is enhanced by a caste of the western frieze from the Parthenon lb? CCD fd! feb ffl Kg? Chl Lyons Township High School ' which was a gift of J. C. Llewellyn and Ralph Llew- ellyn, the architects. Across the foyer from the auditorium is a Community Room with a stage, fireplace and artistic furnishings. This room will seat 250 to 350 persons and will doubt- less be used often by clubs both from the school and from the community. On the first floor is a series of administration offices consisting of' a spacious general office, offices for the Principal and for the Assistant-Principal, a vault, and a large room for Board meetings and Teachers meet- ings. For the first time in years, privacy for those wh? desire conferences with administrators is pos- sib e. On the ground floor is a suite of offices for the Dean of Girls and a girls' rest-room. On the opposite side of the ground floor are offices and rooms for the department of physical training for boys. In the central portion of the ground floor is the boys' gymnasium which has a lioor 60 X 102 feet, a basket ball floor 85 ft. x 45153 ft. and bleacher seats for 1100 spectators. There is a 20 lap track which also ac- -commodates spectators at exhibitions. The gymna- sium floor is the celebrated Blox-on-end construction. Outside the west doors to the gymnasium is an 80 yard indoor straight-away on which three sprinters or three hurdlers may compete at once. There are very complete locker rooms, constructed from terazza throughout. Shower rooms, team rooms, and lockers for 1000 boys make up the details of these locker rooms. At the north of the ground floor, is a large band and music room with locker room adjoining. This will remove a distraction from other classes as no other classrooms are near. On the second floor is a rest room for women teach- ers. The former rest room in the old bulldlng IS set aside for men teachers. GJ There will be two additional study halls When needed, lil facing the east on the second floor. In addition to the features enumerated there will ul- timately be 30 classrooms. At present only eight of these class rooms are finished. Others will be finish- ed as needed. 1928-Year Book-1929 15 fkj Floors of halls and corridors and toilet-rooms are fin- ished in terrozza and in some places have battleship linoleum for sound deadening. The three corriders at the north are nineteen feet wide and will consti- tute an art museum. It appears that there is little left to be desired in physical equipment for a high school. Later when the junior college of our dreams becomes a reality, the facilities are such as will likewise adequately house this added institution. The outlook is bright. As the Westminster chimes ring out the passing hours and the heavy peals of each hour is struck, our eyes inadvertently picture the stately towers and cathe- dral walls of the new L. T. H. S. Harmonies of tone, color, de- sign, and form tell us that they who built have fbuilded well. May new visions commensurate with new opportunities lead us on to higher endeavor to attain the goal of L. T. H. S.-a full life. G. W. VVILLETT Aids to Effective Study In order to study efficiently it is first necessary to pro- vide a physical environment which will not interfere with a student's work. It is difficult to study in a room which is not warm, well lighted and well ventilated. Home study should be done in a room where there are no other persons or disturbing noises. Although all study problems cannot be solved in the same way, the following directions should be found useful as a general guide to the task of studying: 1. Each student should make it a point to form a def- inite daily schedule of plans for his work and should as- sign a regular time and place for the study of each subject. Then, when a certain time of day arrives, he will be ready to apply himself promptly to studying and will not be in danger of getting behind in his work. The entire universe operates on schedule and a student's first duty is to be on time. He should always accomplish his work on time. 2. It is a good plan to study an assignment as quickly as possible after it is made. For example, if the student's first class in the morning is mathematics and he has the second period free for study then he should study mathe- matics during the second period while the work of the previous period is fresh in his mind. The lesson should be briefly reviewed before the student goes to class. If the worker waits to study a lesson just before going to class he may have difficulty in remembering what he has studied or he may have failed to allot sufficient time for the study of that lesson and as a result ineffective work may be done. 3. Much time will be saved if plans are made to have everything ready for effective study and continuous work before studying begins. The student should have texts, reference books and all study material accessible so that when he is ready for work he may begin with a rush. He should waste no time in getting started. He should begin studying with a determination that he will keep his mind on the task he is to do, that he will work hard and that he will finish his task as quickly as possible. 4. The student should not ask for assistance until it is absolutely necessary and then he should secure help from an '?2:u' , gr 1 r ' cl L, .. 45- 1 4 , . -:-- 1 xf ?' x - 1 Q A , , M 4 , I - I? .,l, ' iz A -AX 1 f ld L F. 1 , . .

B. HALL R. C. FLETCHER J. M. PRATT LEONARD H. VAUGHAN EDWARD HERBERT 1928-Year Book-1929 17 a competent authority. It is the working out of his own problems that prepares his mind for the harder tasks which are to follow. If he gives up easily or asks for help every time difficulties arise he will not be prepared to do the more advanced work because he has not trained his mind to accomplish hard tasks. A strong will power is a pre-requisite to success in any work, so the student should keep at his work no matter how difficult it may be. It will not be enough merely to understand another person's solu- tion to the problems for that does not train the student's mental powers for working out his own solutions. 5. In general it is a good policy first to read rapidly over the assignment as a whole, keeping in mind the na- ture of the work to be done with the material assigned. Then the assignment should be carefully studied the sec- ond time and the essential details should be obtained at this reading. A third reading should clear up any difficult points involved. In studying, a student should constantly be on the lookout for study helps which the author has purposely included such as chapter headings, paragraph topics, leading phrases, clauses or sentences such as therefore, as a result, the cause of -in the effect of this was-, etc. Usually, the author's main statement is the first or last sentence of a paragraph, the intervening sentences being placed there merely to explain the leading sentence or statement. 6. After the lesson has been studied a written sum- mary of what has 'been learned may be prepared in a notebook used for that purpose. The author's vocabulary should not be used in this summary but each division of the outline should be stated as a complete sentence in the stud- ent's own language. Then, when a review of the entire unit is desired, the main points will be in a complete, but simplified form which will facilitate a complete under- standing and mastery of the unit. 7. If there are items which the student is unable to understand he should check them for the purpose of ask- ing the instructor for additional information which will be helpful in understanding the work. It is a Worthwhile prac- tice to plan to ask the instructor at least one intelligent question on each assignment. 18 Lyons Township High School To accomplish anything worth while in this world it is necessary to work hard. If accurate and efficient work is done each day the work will become gradually easier be- cause the student will have a better understanding of what he is trying to accomplish. Above all he should not give up. No one ever accomplished his work by giving up in his efforts. Students, resolve right now that you will work harder than you have ever worked before. Say to yourselves, John and Mary seem to be getting along nicely and I can do the work if they can. Anyway, I'1l do my very best every day. Summer School The thirteenth summer session of the high school began June 18th and closed July 27th. The total enrollment was 131 of which 62 were boys and 69 were girls. Thirty-one of the students were freshmen, 48 sophomores, 44 juniors, 3 seniors, 1 special, and 4 already graduated from high school. Three received their diplomas at the end of the session. Four teachers of the regular high school faculty were retained for the summer session. Miss Ruth McCusker taught the courses in Eng- lish, assisted by Miss Margaret Gregson. The course in Ancient History was taught by W. L. Payne. John W. Payne who succeeds D. C. Bailey the .next regular year, taught the Medieval-Modern History course for- merly taught by Mr. Bailey in the summer session. J. F. Towell taught the courses in Mathematics. Miss Cecelia Listing had charge of the secretarial work of the session. The character of the student body in the modern summer school is quite similar to that of the regular school year. Twenty-three of the 131 students had been on the honor roll during the regular year. Twen- ty-seven were expecting to graduate in less than the customary four years. Ten -were meeting some of their college entrance requirements during the summer session so that they can make broader course elec- tions during the regular year. Seventeen declared that they were at- tending because they wanted something worthwhile to do during the first half of the long summer vacation.

Compiled by Robert W. Edwards, M. D. Prizes and Awards The school has established a chapter of the National Honor Society for secondary schools. Membership in this organiza- tion is limited to members of the Senior class whose marks for scholarship place them in the upper one-fourth of the class. Character, service to the school and leadership must also be considered in the choosing of members. A council composed of six persons of the faculty by a five-sixths vote elect seniors to membership under the above conditions. See the com- mencement program for the names of members of the class of 1925. By action of the Board, a system of honor awards for scholarship has been established. Scholarship is the primary purpose for which schools exist and it is fitting that excellence in scholarship should be rewarded. Herewith is given the regulations relative to the awards: 1. The honor roll for any six weeks' period shall include all persons who are maintaining an average of 90W or bet- ter in four or more subjects. 2. Each pupil who in any year maintains an average of 90W or more in four or more subjects for one-half or more of the six periods shall be awarded an old gold L on a blue field. CCelluloid.J 3. Each pupil who maintains such record for any two years will be awarded a M3 inch block bronze UL . 4. Each pupil who maintains such record for three years shall be awarded a M3 inch block silver L . 5. Each pupil who maintains such record for all four years shall be awarded a My inch block gold L as the highest award which the school can grant. 6. The first three awards shall be awarded at some special assembly during the last two weeks of each school year. 7. The gold awards shall be publicly presented on com- mencement night, following the granting of diplomas. 8. In case any pupil completes the four year course of the high school in three years and maintains the average for the three years, he or she shall be awarded both silver and gold awards in the last year. 9. No person shall be permitted to Wear an honor L who 26 Lyons Township High School has not earnedit.

The Vaughan Medal for football was awarded to Robert Goodyear. Dr. A. M. Harvey has established a scholarship to Knox College which will pay 3550 to the individual to whom the school awards it. The pupil who is to receive the first refusal of the prize is that member of the four year Latin course who has the highest scholastic standing. Dr. Harvey also makes the request that the recipient shall not be a member of a high school fraternity or sorority. In our estimation, Dr. Harvey has done a worthwhile thing in establishing such a scholarship. It seems quite probable that there are alumni of other institutions who could aid both their alma mater and worthy high school graduates by estab- lishing such scholarships. Dr. Harvey was intending to make a donation to his alma mater and thought it well to aid deserv- ing students as well and especially to aid those whom he might know personally. Cannot others follow his example General Information LOCATION The Lyons Township High School is located at LaGrange, Illinois, a Chicago suburb with a population of about 10,000 people. It is fourteen miles southwest of Chicago on the Bur- lington Railroad. It is also reached by electric lines. It is an ideal town, having beautiful shady streets and well kept lawns. LaGrange is a particularly desirable location for those who have children to educate, as it has an exceptionally good school system. ENROLLMENT The principal will be in his office in the High School build- ing during the week prior to the opening of school on Septem- ber tenth between the hours of 2:00 and 4:00 P. M. Par- ents and students are cordially invited to call or telephone the office about school matters. The telephone number is LaGrange 458. Students who have not enrolled or who are transferring from other schools should enroll during this week. Work begins promptly at 8:30 A. M. on September 10th, and regular classes :are held throughout the day. Pupils who have not been enrolled prior to that date will have to wait until their cases can be considered by the Principal. Register in advance and avoid any such delays. Bring credentials with you, if possible. SCHOOL HOURS The school day opens at 8:30 A. M. and closes at 3:00 P. M. The cafeteria serves lunch between 11:30 and 12:00. The building is open from 7:00 A. M. until 4:30 P. M. for those who desire to work at the building. COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY RECOGNITION The Lyons Township High School is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Grad- uates are admitted without examination to the Freshman classes of the colleges and universities of the Association pro- viding speciiied courses have been elected while in high school. Students should check their courses with the admission re- quirement of the institution which they expect to enter. The high school 'has on file at the office, catalogues of leading higher institutions. The public is invited to call and examine the same. Students may check out catalogues at any time by 30 Lyons Township High School seeing the ofiice secretary. The principal will be pleased to ex- plain any difficult passages in catalogues. The school has been placed on the accredited list of several eastern colleges and universities. The school cannot be held responsible for choosing the courses which will admit pupils to any college or any course given by a college. The authorities will be pleased to cooperate with pupils and patrons in such mat- ters on all occasions. TARDINESS AND ABSEN CE A pupil who is to be absent on any particular day should arrange for his parent or guardian to telephone the high school office early on the day on which the absence is to occur. In such a case the pupil will receive a make-up percentage of 8596 if the absence is on account of illness. If the office is not noti- fied by telephone, the pupil should bring a written excuse sign- ed by parent or guardian on his return to school. The make-up in this case is 7512. Teachers are directed to give a zero grade for each unexcused absence. A pupil who is tardy without a telephoned or written excuse may be required to miss his first recitation and will be given a zero make-up for the absence. Regular attendance and punctuality are necessary for success- ful school work. CREDITS AND CLASSIFICATION A credit is given to a student in subjects requiring prepara- tion outside of this class and requiring recitation five times per week during the school year. In all subjects a grade of 751: must be obtained or no credit will be given. Half credits are given for subjects completed in one semester. When a subject continues through the year, a pupil is in most cases required to take the full year's work in order to receive credit. During each semester three estimates of the results of the work of each pupil in each subject are determined, and from these estimates the mark for the semester is usually obtained by ascertaining the average shown by the three estimates. Students are classified according to the credits received as follows: All students having less than 3 credits are classified as freshmeng from 3 to 7 credits, as sophomores 3 from 7 to 11 credits, as juniorsg and 11 or more credits, as seniors. How- 1928-Year Book-1929 31 ever, the school is most interested in the fact that 16 credits are needed for graduation and does not emphasize the differen- tiation between classes. SCHOOL REPORTS The estimate of each pupil's work is regularly made at the end of each period of six weeks. This report is delivered to the pupil to be presented by him to his parent or guardian for in- spection and signature. ' At the close of each semester the report given will indicate the class standing, and may indicate the final semester mark. Special reports will 'be sent upon request of the parent or at such times as the principal may deem them advisable. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS Among organizations maintained by the students are the following: The Boys' Band, The Orchestra, The Boys' Glee Club, The Girls' Glee Club, The Forum, The Philomathean Literary Society, The Athletic Association, The Honor Society, The Boys' Club, Hi Y, Older Girls' Conference, French Club, Spanish Club, Math Club, etc. The Lion a newspaper, is also edited and supported by the students. The senior class publishes each year, an Annual called El Tee Hi Tabulaef' REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Pupils residing in Lyons Township High School District are admitted to the high school in September upon presenta- tion of a certificate of graduation from a regular eight years' course in a grammar school. This certificate should be accom- panied by a record of the work done during the last year in the preparatory school. Certificates from schools outside of Lyons Township High School District will be accepted when such schools are sufii- ciently organized to warrant recognition, Pupils who transfer from other high schools should present a full statement of the work done, including evidence of the time devoted to each subject, the work covered, and the stand- ing obtained. 32 Lyons Township High School REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION A diploma is given when sixteen credits have been obtain- ed. No pupil will be graduated who has not been one year in residence and such year must be the senior year. Three years of English, one of Algebra, one of American History, one semester of General Science and one semester of Elementary Civics are required for graduation. Physical Training for four years and Music for one year are likewise required though no credit is given toward graduation. In addition to these requirements pupils are advised to take three years' work in one of the following groups: Mathematics, History, Science, Foreign Language, Manual Training, Domestic Science, or Commercial subjects. When Latin, French or Spanish is elected, the pupil is ex- pected to do at least two years of work in the language chosen unless he has already completed two years' work in another foreign language. The work offered by the school will enable anyone who selects the proper subjects, to enter any college or university either by certificate or by examination- The pupil who does not intend to go to college may select -his subjects with a View to his future needs. Consult the Principal on such selection. If there is a possibility that a pupil may go to college, election of subjects should be made to meet the requirements of the chosen institution. Colleges usually require as admission credits: Three or four years of English, two or two and one- half years of Mathematics, one year of History, one year of Science, and two or more years of Foreign Language. Consult the catalogues in the Principal's office for specific re- quirements.

First Semester The work of the first semester is largely devoted to an intensive study of grammar, with these aims in view: Q11 A knowledge of the basic structure of the language, including both the 'ability to recognize readily the parts of speech in their more -complicated forms, and a thorough un- derstanding of the fundamental relationships existing between the parts of speech. ' 121 The development of -the pupil's powers of expression, oral and written, through his increasing familiarity with the more difficult constructions. 635 A continuous practice in the organization of ideas, so that the pupil may learn to speak and write with greater clearness and definiteness. In connection with the work in grammar, emphasis is laid on the principles of organization. To this end an equivalent of at least one day a week is devoted to the study of the speeches of outstanding American orators. and to debates or assigned fioor talks on subjects of general interest to the class. In this way the pupils come in contact with the most logical presentation of ideas, and receive trainin-g in assembling material and organizing it for its most effective use. The last two or three weeks of the semester are devoted to a study of books of travel, including those dealing with the United States and her dependencies. This survey might well be a preparation :for the literature work of the second semes- ter. Each pupil prepares a long written report, using as source material a minimum of one book of travel read in en- tirety, and as many additional references as he has opportun- ity to employ. These latter will preferably include some work of American fiction which has as a background the section of the country being studied. A list of fiction and travel books thus correlated is made available for class use. Second Semester ' During the latter half of the year, a survey is made of American literature, from Colonial times to the present. The method employed is ch.iefly chronological, for back- ground purposes, coupled with a study of types of 'liteature as representative of particular periods, as well as reflective of the life of the times. Thus, for example, diaries, journals, 1928-Year Book-1929 43 and chronicles of various sorts comprise the major literary expression of the colonial period, political satirw and ballads are the outstanding literary productions of Revolutionary timesg the American essay is connected with the Concord group of the earlier nineteenth century. The American novel is studied principally in connection with the required outside reading. Each pupil is asked to read one novel from the works of the early nineteenth century Writers, as Cooper and Hawthorneg one from the latter nine- teenth century, such as Clemens or Howells, and one from the twentieth century fDeland, Cather, Ferber, etc.J. Some consideration is given to the earlier magazines, not- ably the North American Review and the Atlantic Monthly, and to the men of literary distinction who edited or contrib- uted to them. The short story is also made the subject of separate study, as America's most distinctive contribution to literature. Authors of the highest literary attainment, as Poe, Irving, Hawthorne, Longfellow, and others, are studied as in- dividuals rather than as representatives of a particular period or type of literature. In this way the approach to American literature is made from three angles, according to chronology, to type, and to the individual writer. Some attention is also given to geographi- cal groupings, especially with regard to the New England, New York, and Southern writers. In general, the purpose of the survey of American litera- ture is to acquaint the pupil, as widely as possible, with the best in his native literature 3 to give him a background knowl- edge of American life and tradition which will help him to understand his own times, and to stimulate in him a desire to read with discrimination. PUBLICATIONS The high school sponsors two student publications: the Lion. a four page newspaperg and the Tabulae, the senior annual. The Lion is published each week throughout the year by a class in journalism, open to juniors and seniors. A year's credit in English is given for the course. 44 Lyons Tovmship High School The class assumes full responsibility, both financial and editorial, for the Lion. The paper is financed through subscrip- tions, advertising, and the revenues from one large entertain- ment each year. The members of the class choose the editors from their own number, and themselves gather and write the news, pre- pare the headlines, correct proofs, arrange the dummy, and supervise the assembling of the paper. They also solicit the advertising and collect advertising copy, attend to the mailing of monthly statements, and of exchange and advertising copies of the paper, and distribute the papers to its subscribers. Three days a week are ordinarily devoted to the work of getting out the Liong the remaining two days usually are given over to theoretical study of some aspect of newspaper work, or to drill on some particular phase of writing. The course is not intended as a vocational preparation, although it may serve to interest some students in journalism as a profession. The prim-ary purpose of the class is to pro- vide an efficient means for publishing the school paper, and to give studen-ts who like to write, a chance to do work of di- rect interest to themselves. The Tabulae is an extra-curricular activity of the senior class. A committee, composed of the principal, the senior class sponsors, and the two teachers who supervise the publi- cation of the book, make recommendations for the positions of editor-in-chief and associate editors, on the basis of which the senior class elects students to these places on the staff. The editors, in conference with the class sponsors and the ad- visors, select the remaining staff members. The book is financed by means of subscriptions, class dues, the profit from the school candy store, which is managed by seniors, and the proceeds from class plays. The staff, with the supervision of a faculty advisor, col- lects and prepares all the material for the Tabulae. The illus- trations are made by senior students, under the direction of the head of the art department. The purpose of the annual is to commemorate each grad- uating class, to give a permanent record of this school's activi- ties throughout the year, and to foster interest in school achievements. 1928-Year Book-1929 45 ENGLISH IV. Through the course in English IV we aim to present to the pupils some of the famous writings in English literature, to develop the pupils' reading taste, to encourage reading in untried fields, to give remedial treatment for faults in com- position, and to lead pupils to write clearly and in some cases interestingly. Exercises in the mechanics of writing occupy the first ten or fifteen minutes of each period. The readings may be grouped somewhat as follows: I. Early narratives: 1. Hero stories of all countries. 2. Beowulf. 3. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. 4. Ballads. II. Plays: 1. Everyman. 2. Selections from Dr. Faustus. 3. Macbeth. 4. Other Shakespearean plays. 5. Plays of Goldsmith and Sheridan. 6. Plays of the present day. III. Literature produced under the following influences: 1. Monastic life. 2. Norman conquest. 3. Renaissance. 4. French influence. 5. Classicism. 6. Romanticism. 7. Spirit of reform or moral earnestness. IV. Elizabethan lyrics and Milton's minor poems. V. Essays and biography including Tatler, Spectator, Carlyle on Burns, Boswell's Johnson, selections from Ruskin, Newman, Huxley, and Stevenson, essays in current magazines, and essays found in many collec- tions of modern essays. I I Q 1 3 VI. Famous English novels. VII. Poetry: selections from 1. Burns, Wordsworth, and the Lake poets. 2. Byron, Shelley, and Keats. 46 Lyons Township High School 3. Tennyson and Browning. 4. Present day writers. n Pupils read outside of the class period at least three famous English novels as well as some plays and at least one hundred pages of essays. Most of the written work is done in class. During the year the forms of verse fepic, lyric, sonnet, Spenserian stanza, etc.l are taught, as well as the development of our prevailing prose forms, the essay and the novel. Mos-t of the literature is studied chronologically. The background for a reading, including the personality of the au- thor and his relation to his time, is sometimes presented by the teacher and sometimes left for pupils to discover in library readings. At the close of the year pupils group pieces of literature according to prevailing themes and attempt to discover in each case the attitude of the writer toward his theme. COLLATERAL READING The following book list is a tentative one. Pupils differ so widely in their reading abilities that ad- vice about what to read next must be individual. However, as a. partial guide to the pupil, numbers have been placed after the books on the fiction list to indicate the years in which those books are often appreciated. In general, American fiction tex- cept that suitable for the first two yearsl is labeled for the third year and English fiction for the fourth. Pupils must consult teachers about credit points for read- ing. Each pupil is required to make at least twenty points each year. 1928-Year Book-1929 Author Book Abbott Molly-Make-Believe ..........

Pupils preparing for college will find it advantageous in many cases to take the first three years of mathematics. ALGEBRA I. Through quadratics. The aim of the 'first year's work in algebra is to enable the pupil to solve practical problems by the aid of algebraic principles. To gain this end the early part of the year is spent in securing rapid and accurate manipula- 1928-Year Book-1929 57 tion of algebraic quantities in the four fundamental operations. This work is followed by drill upon fractions, involution, evo- lution and the resolution of polynominals into factors by the method in common use. The solution of simple equations is introduced early and is followed, as soon as the pupil is pre- pared, by the solution of simple quadratics and systems of linear equations supplemented by graphic work. Practical application of these principles is-made from time to time to the solution of problems. Text: Edgerton and Carpenter. III. First semester, third year. Quadratics, including quadratic and similarly solved equations, the discussion of their roots, calculus of radical, theory of exponentsg radical equations, the binomial theorem, simultaneous equations, par- ticularly of the second degree between two and three variables, graphic solution of equations and systems, ratio and propor- tion, the progressions and logarithms. Text: Edgerton and Carpenter. GEOMETRY II. Plane Geometry throughout the second year. The amount of work done is equivalent to that contained in the standard texts. Special attention is given to the solution and demonstration of original exercises and to the best methods of attacking them, law of converse, generalization of figures, figures in perspective, systems of points, loci of points, inter- section of loci as a means of attacking original problems, the relation of the method of limits to the indirect method and its advantages in application, maxima and minima, etc. Text-Ford and Ammerman. CPrerequisite Algebra IJ III. Solid Geometry, second semester of the third year. The subject as given in the standard texts is carefully covered and much emphasis is placed upon the solution of original problems. Considerable attention is given to the mensuration of model solids and to constructive work upon the spherical board- Text--Ford and Ammerman. fPrerequisite Geometry IIJ PLANE TRIGONOMETRY AND COLLEGE ALGEBRA Only students are admitted to these courses who have com- 58 Lyons Township High School pleted Elementary Algebra through Quadratics tone yearj, Plane Geometry Cone yeari , Advanced Algebra fone-half yearj , Solid Geometry fone-half yearj.

SCIENCE General Science is required of all students for one semester in the first year. Botany and Zoology are elective in the sec- ond year. Chemistry is elective in the third year and Physics in the fourth year. Physics is recommended as college en- trance elective. 1928-Year Book-1929 59 GENERAL SCIENCE General Science is a required course. As the name sug- gests, the course is a general one and at no time is mentioned any of the several sciences. The course is cultural. It is not in any sense an introductory course. However, we aim to cultivate the scientific attitude. Happy, indeed, is the finding of a mind that is more than curiously interestedg a mind where the imagination is being guided by logical reasoning. The high aim leads the class unit in such direction. Each of the several sciences is difficult in its detail. Funda- mentals, simple as they may seem, are thoroughly discussed. Much of our scientific practice of to-day is taken for granted. We cannot deny that there is more to know about a car under the floor than above it. The objective is to gain the students' interest, sustain that interest and work swiftly to the logical conclusion for the fundamental law. We cannot say that since a student is curiously minded that the student necessarily possesses a scientific imagination. The aim is to develop the curiously minded student into the logically minded student. Secondly, the course gives much general information. Theory, essential as it is, plays second to practice. The classroom procedure consists of quiet reading, general discussion, special reports, notes-written and sketched fas a rule a set of notes is the tell-tale to order and accuracyl, and text assignments. As the occasion arises the teacher, during part of the general discussion may give an informal talk on the latest findings and their applications to our every day life. Laboratory work is purely that of demonstration. The demonstration may follow or may lead to the general discus- sion. The following topics for discussion and demonstration will serve as a synopsis for the work required in the course: 1. Does air have weight? 2. Since air has weight does it press down as other heavy objects? 3. The Standard meter. 4. The Mercurial Barometer. 5. Graph showing relation be- tween thermometers 6. Moisture in the air. 7. Bacteria in milk. Molds. The yeast plant. Diffusion of gases. Structure of at particle of water. Hydrogen and its peculiarities. Oxygen and its peculiarities. 'Carbon Dioxide and its pecu- liarities.

Five periods per week are divided between recitations and laboratory work as occasion demands. The fall work begins with a study of flowers and weeds, fol- lowed by a study of treesg special attention is given to the trees of this vicinity, including a study of their summer and winter conditions. The planting and care of the various kinds of trees are consideredg and the nature and economic import- ance of some of the woods receive attention. During the win- ter months some of the lower forms of plant life are studied with a view to giving the pupils a general idea of the work of evolution. This is followed by experiments in physiology to show how plants carry on the function of life. The spring months are devoted to the higher forms of plant life 5 an effort is made to acquaint the pupils with other common spring fiowersg and ecology, as represented in swamp, field and flora, is studied. Bergen and Caldwell's Practical Botany is the text used. ZOOLOGY Zoology is an elective study of the second yearg five periods per week are required throughout the year, which include lab- 1928-Year Book-1929 61 oratory and recitation. The fall term includes a study of in- sects and their habits. During the winter months the higher forms are studiedg a special effort is made to give the pupils a general knowledge of comparative morphology and physiology. Ecology forms the basis of spring work, including types of pond, wood and field fauna. Pupils are required to bring into the laboratory material from this region, and field work is done at times appointed by the teacher- Lindville and Kelley is the text book used. CHEMISTRY The course in Chemistry is open to students of the third and fourth years. The course, comprising one year, is divided into two parts, laboratory and class-room work. The basis of the class-room work is found in, High School Chemistry , by Charles E. Dull, supplemented by the texts, Black and Conant: Brownlee and Fuller: Gray, Sandifur and Hanna: Emery, Davis: Creative Chemistry by E-. E. Slossen. Outside read- ing is encouraged, particularly from current literature, thus forming a link between the theory and application of chem- istry. The entire subject is divided into nine divisions or units. The titles of these Units follow: Oxygen-Oxidation and Chemical Change. Fuels and their Constituents. Water, Solution and Crystallization. The Effect of Temperature and Pressure upon Gases in General. The Idea of the Atom and Molecule and how it is Used. Ionization, Acids, Bases and Salts. Some of the N on-Metals and their Compounds. The Nitrogen and Halogen Families: The Periodic Classi- fication. The General Properties of Metals and the Solubility of their Salts. Organic Chemistry or the Compounds of Carbon Produced by Life. It is easier for the mind to retain subject matter if it is 62 Lyons Township High School related to some central idea. The Unit furnishes the hub for the wheel. A set of questions, covering the subject matter of the Unit is given the student before beginning a new Unit. The reading preparation is in this way made more definite and the student is better able to center his attention upon the more necessary parts of the text. These questions are made the basis of the future oral and written quizzes. Before credit is given for a Unit of work it must be complete, that is, the experiment must be done and passed, the daily work must be all handed in and the quiz covering the work of the Unit passed. The idea behind this procedure is to teach the pupil to FINISH a task once it is begun. The laboratory work usually succeeds but may precede the class-room study: the two are at all times related. In the laboratory each pupil is supplied with his own set of laboratory apparatus and works alone unless the experiment can better be performed with assistance. A careful record is made and kept of all experiments. They are handed to the instructor for inspection, and if errors are found the experiments are returned to the student for correction. This process is con- tinued until the experiments are entirely correct. The pur- pose of the experiment is, at all times, kept before the pupil by personal consultation and the recitation. A first-hand study is made of the laws governing chemical change. The common gases and solid elements are prepared and their physical and chemical properties examined, particu- lar attention being given to their relationships. As the work advances, compound of the elements are made, and as often as possible the commercial use of these compounds is shown. In order to impress the pupil with the higher order of modern chemical precision, some quantative experiments are performed, such as: the determination of the weight of a liter of oxygen: the strength of acids and bases by titration: the per cent of oxygen in potassium chlorate: tests for the per cent of butter fat in milk by the Babcock method: tests for the adulteration of foodstuffs: the metals of the first and second groups of qualitative analysis are separated. In all, about 70 experiments are performed. During the last quarter of the school year each student is required to prepare and present a special topic upon some 1928-Year Book-1929 63 chemical subject that is of special interest to him. The pur- pose of this theme is to furnish the pupil an opportunity to learn more about some one process or natural phenomonen than is otherwise possible in a High School course and to obtain experience in finding and compiling knowledge upon his own responsibility. As many trips to chemical plants are taken as is possible during the year. The course is elementary in character although advanced enough to arouse in the student an interest in some branch of Chemistry for future study because he has been taken far enough in the subject to appreciate it, and to understand its possibilities. The purpose is also to impart such facts con- cerning the chemistry of daily life that the student may be- come a more useful citizen and be more thoroughly adapted to his environment. PHYSICS Physics, a one year subject, can be elected by students in the third or fourth years. Two 'types of courses are offered, PHYSICS I and PHYSICS II. PHYSICS I The purpose of this course is to acquaint the student with the phenomena of daily life and to stimulate him to do some thinking on his own account about the whys and hows of the physical world in which he lives. The class-room and laboratory are kept in proper relation to one another in driving home the laws or principles of the subject. The text used as a basis of the course is, The Ele- ments of Physics, by Milikan and Gale, and Laboratory Physics by th-e same authors. In addition, the following texts are in the class-room library: Black and Davis, Fuller, Brownlee and Baker, Carhart and Chute, X Sears, Mer- chant and Chant, Dull. The laboratory is equipped with all the neded apparatus to illustrate each of the general principles studied and to allow a maximum of individual work. Many pieces of special appara- tus are used for class-room demonstration. About forty ex- periments are performed by the class during the year, among 64 Lyons Township High School them are: Determination of the density of an -irregular bodyg 2. Relation of depth to densi-ty in a free liquid. 3. Relation of volumes of gases to temperature and pres-sure. 4. Deter- mination of the linear coefficient of iron. 5. The mechanic- al equivalent of 'heat. 6. 'Ilhe electrical resistence of con- ductors Qby voltmeter, ammeter and by Wheatstone bridge.D 7. Determination of the length of sound waves. 8. Deter- mination of the index of refraction of glass. A careful record is made and kept of all experiments. As soon as each is finished it is handed in, needed corrections in- dicated and returned to the student for completion. The topics are grouped into related subjects called Units. During the Hrst semester the following units are considered: Pressure below the Surface. lSound. Work. Power and Me- chanical Energy. Force and Motion. The units of the second semester are: Heat. Electricity. Light and Invisible Radia- tions. In order to keep before the student the essential points he should master during his reading preparations he is supplied with a series of questions and problems covering each unit. Those questions and problems are used as the basis for recita- tion, written Work and for 'tests upon each unit. The general basic principles of the su-bj ect are emphasized throughout the course and details are made of minor importance. Physical problems and labratory work are given prominence as a means of fixing principles and illustrating the uses of physics. This course is intended primarily for students expecting to pursue scientific Work further after leaving the high-school and for others having a special interest in the subject. PHYSICS II This is a one year course open to third and fourth year stu- dents. 'Dhe purpose of the course bears practical identity to Physics I. The difference in the two courses is found in the method of approach and emphasis upon different phases of the subject. The text is, Elementary Principles of Physics, by Fuller, Brownlee and Baker, with Laboratory Physics by Milikan and Gale. The work of the course may be conveniently divided into 1928-Year Book-1929 65 the following topics: Properties of Matterg Heat 3 Sound 3 Lightg Magnetismg Electricityg Force an-d Motiong Work, Power -and Mechanical Energy. Each division of work is so taken up that it leads logically to the next. The daily work of the class is reinforced by simple demon- strations performed by the teacher. Experiments from the laboratory manual are performed when there is need for them in helping to clinch some physical principle. These experi- ments are performed by the teacher as a demonstration for the class, or by a group acting for the class, or if the supply of apparatus permits, each member of the class does the experi- ment for himself. All experiments are written up and handed in with answers to the accompanying questions. In many of the' experiments, where the results are known in ad- vance, it is the students business to account for the discrep- ancy between the result obtained and the correct one. In many cases this sort of practice is highly effective in cultivating the scientific attitude of mind. , The text is abundantly supplied with questions distributed throughout as well as at the end of each division of subject matter. The questions with problems from the book and out- side sources constitute the basic material for class work and for tests. - Formulas have been cut to a minimum, however, the few that are found are very essential to the progress of the study. Science must be exact-with this idea of exactness comes the hand-maiden of science-mathematics. It is quite impos- sible to talk of quantitative terms and make application of the various physical principles without the use of some simple mathematics. Various phases of the course make use of prob- lems involving the simple processes of arithmetic, fractions, percentage, ratio and proportion. Altho problems are not stressed in this course as much as in Physics I this fact is not looked upon as indicating a lack of work to be done in the course. Students of this course are not looked upon as future work- ers in science but as actual workers in that field, folks who want to become equipped with some scientific knowledge and the scientific attitude so as to make life a richer and more meaningful process. 66 Lyons Township High School HISTORY Three years in history are offered and for those specializ- ing in history the courses should be taken in the order given. One full year is devoted to each course- American History is required for graduation. Early European History. Mediaeval and Modern European History. American History and Government. ANCIENT HISTORY This course begins with the evidences and records of the earliest known human life, and from here the significant facts of civilization are traced down to the time of Charlemagne. How human beings changed in education, in mental ability and in habits of life through the ages, is one of the chief aims of this outline of history. W Webster's Ancient History is the required text, but much use is made of reference books in the class-room and library. EARLY EUROPEAN HISTORY i This course is planned for Sophomore and Freshman students. Outlines and summaries of the principal events and the achievements of man from earliest times down to the Fall of Rome are studied. Text: Webster. MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY This course has been reorganized to follow the lines of the direct teaching procedure so successfully used in American History. The study of history has for one of its chief purposes the building up of a series of intelligent attitudes, the creation of an understanding of the major tendencies of civilization. It has been assumed that there are four such tendenciesg the tendencies toward democracy, industrialism, nationalism, and imperialism. All four received their impetus to Growth in the Renaissance and all are interrelated. The course, therefore, has 'been organized to present the following units: 1. The Reawakening of Western Europe. 2. The Renaissance Age. 3. The Development of Demo- cratic Institutions in Western Europe. 4. The Growth of the Spirit of Nationalism. 5. The Industrialization of Western Europe. 6. The Present Day Tendency toward Imperialism. ' 1928-Year Book-1929 67 The direct teaching procedure has been explained under the heading American History. Webster's Modern Euro- pean History has been retained as the basal reference and an adequate class room library has been provided. AMERICAN HISTORY Adjustment to the world in which we live is the aim and justification of public education. Just as the individual must learn to walk and talk, so he must be taught to understand the more complex conditions of life which surround him, and to adopt himself normally to them. Since the world in which he lives is, among other things, a historical world, it is evident that adjustment to the conditions of historical implication be- comes the justification for the teaching of history in the public schools. It has been customary in the past to consider history as a body of facts to be learned. Since it is generally recognized that the mind was never intended to be a mere storehouse of facts but rather an organ for the adjustment of the individual to life-situations, it is clear that the above method of approach- ing the study of 'history is of doubtful value in developing a real understanding of the social, political and economic world in which we live to-day. Rather must this come through a comprehension of the underlying principles that have guided human progress in the past, and that are influencing it to-day. Thus, facts of history, cease to be things to be learned and be- come things to be rationalized for the purpose of throwing light upon those forces which govern human existence. The attainment of the above ideal in the teaching of Ameri- can history has made necessary the complete reorganization of the subject matter as well as the development of a new teaching procedure. The reorganization of the subject matter of the course in American history has involved two fundamental considera- tions. The first of these was to discover principles that have been basic in the development of the American nation. In the search for these facts or principles it has been necessary to avoid falling into the error of historical determinism thereby confusing historical theories with facts. A careful survey of the field has resulted in the adoption of the following units of study: C11 Setting the stage for Columbus, C25 Pushing back the frontier, C31 The New World breaks away from the 68 Lyons Township High School Old, C41 Making the Constitution, 151 Testing the Constitu- tion, CGJ The Industrializing of American Life. The second important consideration in the reorgan-ization of the sulbject matter was the selection of those facts and episodes which would make clear the principles underlying the units chosen. In each unit -it, therefore, became essential to discover the facts which would most effectively develop an understanding of the wut principles, and at the same time organize them into teach- able blocks. The development of the teaching procedure has been founded upon the idea of real mastery of the Unit Principles. Such mastery as is here implied involves a situation quite dif- ferent from that of learning enough facts to get a passing grade or better in the daily recitations and examination. It rather signifies such a comprehension of the Unit Principles as would amount to a revolution in one's methods of thinking or to put it another Way, it implies the acquisition of attitudes and abilities which make possible the proper adjustment to the historical aspects of everyday life. This may be illus- trated by the consideraftion of one or two of the units. In the Unit, Making the Constitution the principle involved is that no political society is likely to function successfully without an adequate form of government. The implication of this principle is made clear by a careful study of the facts of our history which are connected with the inadequate Articles of Confederation. The proper presentation of this Unit should leave in the minds of the pupils the conviction that not only should their own country have an adequate form of govern- ment, but also that any organizations of whatever kind must be strongly organized if they are to function successfully. Again take the Unit Testing the Constitution . It is mani- fest that the understanding or conviction to be gained here is that the Constitution of the United States has proved itself beyond question of doubt to be an adequate instrument of government to meet the needs of the people. To develop prop- erly this conviction or understanding, a careful study must be made of those facts of our history which make it clear that the government of the United States under the Constitution has been able not only to command respect at home and abroad, but also that it has been able to build up a sound and enduring national consciousness. The real mastery of this unit would tend to make one impervious to the fallacious argument of the propagandists of world Revolution. 1928-Year Book-1929 69 The teaching procedure used to develop such mastery is supervised study. This procedure involves first the careful pre- sentation of the principle of the Unit. This consists of a con- cise exposition of the chief forces involved in the unit under consideration. The purpose of the presentation IS to put the pupils into an intelligent attitude toward the Unit to be stud- ied. The next step in the process is the assimilation period. During this period the attention of the pupils is focused upon the carefully supervised reading of the facts and episodes of history which make clear the principle of the Unit. It is through the careful reading and rationalizing of these facts that the pupils make the principle of the Unit their own. The final step in the procedure is the organization of the material, which takes the form of analytical outlines, oral recitations, and carefully and logically prepared written papers. It is this last step which makes clear to both pupil and teacher whether the adaptation or mastery has really been made. CIVICS NINTH GRADE Each Freshman is required to take a S6l'Il9St61',S course in civics. The work is rather elementary but will deal with both the community and the National Government. The work is within the grasp of Freshmen and should fill a very evident need. American youth know far too little about American ideals of government and society. The Freshman year in high school should be the proper time to interest the pupil in the practice and elementary theory of good government. Hill's text book is used with abundant reference mate- rials made accessible to pupils. ECONOMICS AND SOCIOLOGY Economics is open to third and fourth year pupils. A brief survey of economic history is made, with special attention to the industrial stages in the United States. A thorough study is made of the principles underlying our economic development, and an attempt is made to secure fair and impartial consideration of controverted questions- The course covers the usual subjects of consumption, production, exchange and distribution, followed by a brief study of public finance. Much attention is given to recent and present economic legislation, emphasis being constantly placed upon principles and methods of interpretation, with a View to secur- ing insight into and appreciation of our live economic prob- 70 Lyons Township High School lems. Economics and Social Problems will be emphasized dur- ing the second semester. Library readings, reports and class discussions and debates constitute a large part of the work. Text: Fairchild's Economics. by MECHANICAL DRAWING The mechanical drawing course covers three years of work. Freehand drawing, lettering, geometrical drawing and ele- mentary orthographic projections are given. Practical work- ing drawings according to modern drafting room methods are emphasized. The proper conventions and symbols are taught in this course. Anthony's Mechanical Drawing Book which contains vari- ous types of exercises and practical problems is used for a text book. The pupils are required to provide their own drawing instruments, books, boards, T squares and other incidental drawing equipment. The classes meet one period each day during the semester. The second year work consists of advanced orthographic projectionsg isometric drawing, intersection and development of solids- Practical applications of orthographic and isometric drawings are emphasized. Working drawings, tracing and blue printing are required. Anthony's Mechanical Drawing is used as a text book. Machine Drawing is given as the third year course. The student is familiarized with the forms and proportions of sim- ple machine parts. The plates include the drawing of the fol- lowing problems: spirals, screw threads, bolt leads, shaft couplings, pillow blocks, and pulleys. Problems on eccentrics and gearing are also required. The designing of a gasoline engine is the last problem. Text books CMachi11e Drawing and Design-D. A. Low.J Advanced Shop Drawing-Vincent C- George. ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING The purpose of this course is to teach the pupil to draw up specifications and to make good working drawings and blue prints of moderate priced homes. In doing this all the prob- lems of building and the expense attached to it are studied. Architectural lettering, plates on foundations, framing, cor- 1928-Year Book-1929 71 nices, and miscellaneous details are required. The designing of the smaller types of residences, and making specifications for some is the next step. Text book: Ralph F. Windoes and Harvey B. Campbell Architectural Drawing. ' JOINERY AND LIGHT CABINET MAKING This course consists of a series of projects so designed that some of the most important joints in Wood working are brought into use. The cross-lap, blind mortise and tenon, through mortise and tenon, dove-tail and blind dove-tail joints are all employed in a series of useful articles- There is oppor- tunity for design and individuality in this course, and the pu- pils are encouraged to develop these traits. When these re- quired projects are completed the pupils may make larger articles of their own choice, such as a music cabinet, piano bench, umbrella rack, etc. Instruction is given in the use and care of tools. ADVANCED CABINET MAKING Articles of furniture which are made in this course are started only after they have been given careful consideration by both pupil and teacher. This work includes the making of Morris chairs, rocking chairs, book cases, library tables, buffets, desks, porch swings and other pieces of furniture for the pupil's room or home. Much attention is paid to the fin- ishing of the wood after the article is assembled. Boys in this course are permitted to use the wood Working machinery, after being properly instructed. WOOD TURNING Ritchey's book on Wood Working is used as the basis of this course, and includes exercises on turning cylinders, beads and coves. Problems are given in center turning, chuck and face plate work, sand papering and polishing. In this course we also place emphasis on good design and originality. Pupils design piano lamps, dresser sets in mahogany, book racks, candle stick holders, turned chair legs and other useful arti- cles. Mahogany, walnut, Vermilion, cherry, maple, birch and apple are kept in stock for the students in order that they may become acquainted with the most beautiful and useful Woods- 72 Lyons Township High School PA'l'I'ERN MAKING AND FOUNDRY PRACTICE The methods and practices of pattern making, moulding, and casting are studied. Each student is required to make a pattern and casting of each kind such as cored and split work, irregular parting, plate work, loose piece work, etc. Patterns for the following castings are required: ill for single piece patterns, the block is required to illustrate shrink- age, draft, finish, shake, finishing, and this pattern is supple- mented by demonstration of moulding and use of moulders' toolsg Q22 for cored work, the face plate and gland are re- quired to illustrate building up to prevent warping, and use of coresg C31 for split work, the turn buckle and clamp stand are required to illustrate the value of splitting, coring and finishing, and these patterns are supplemented by demonstra- tions of methods of moulding and making different patterns, Q41 for built, cored and split work, plate work, and irregular parting, the bracket, pulley, grooved wheel and wrench are re- quired to illustrate curved arms, finishing and groupingg C51 for loose pieces, the gear blank is required to illustrate the three part mould 5 165 for class problems, the gas engine motor or other patterns for the machine shop are required. In the foundry, the class takes a heat from the cupola every week, in addition to making the moulds and cores. Pupils are taught the nature of iron and steel, moulding methods, ram- ming, venting, parting, gate cutting, sand and cupola lining. FORGING Instruction is given in the building and care of the fire and the position in handling tools at the anvil. Problems of the following kinds are required: Q13 S hook is required to illus- trate drawing, C21 staple and lap link are required to illustrate bending, Q33 the pipe hook is required to illustrate shoulder- ingg C43 bolt is required to illustrate upsetting 3 C55 eye bolt and meat hook are required to illustrate forming 3 165 chain hook is required to illustrate punching, C71 tongs are required to illustrate chamfering, and use of finishing tools such as swages, fullers, and hardiesg C83 links and ring are required to illustrate scarfing and proper heat for weldingg f9J center punch, fiat cold chisel, cape chisel and lathe tools are required to illustrate forging, annealing, tempering and case hardening heats of tool steel. 1928-Year Book-1929 73 MACHINE SHOP The Machine Shop course includes the turning and finish- ing of the elementary exercises and then the machining of the castings for a small gasoline engine. 74 Lyons Township High School Commercial Department The commercial courses are: Bookkeeping, Accounting, Commercial Law, Commercial Geography, Shorthand, Type- writing, Office Training, and Commercial Arithmetic. These courses are elective. The purposes of these courses is to give the student such fundamental knowledge and training that he may readily adapt himself to the practical demands of the position he un- dertakes in the business world. The historical and cultural phases of the subjects are also taught to -enlarge the student's perspective of the commercial field. ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS PRACTICE The aim of the course is to acquaint the student with the elements of business and with modern accounting and business practice. The bookkeeping course develops the qualities of ex- actness and precision and establishes a set of business prin- ciples around which the later accumulations of business infor- mation are correctly organized. In the first year several short practice sets using the proper books for a trading business are worked by the student. In connection with the transactions, 'business papers, such as notes, checks, drafts, invoices, bills of lading are used. The theory of debit and credit is followed by use of journal, ledger, sales journal, purchase journal, cash journal, bill book, general ledger, subsidiary ledger, the controlling account and general journal. At the close of each practice set, trial balances, Work- ing sheets, statements of profit and loss, balance sheets, and ledger closings are all made in proper sequence. In the first part of the second year, the books of a manu- facturing business are kept by the student. Transactions are entered in voucher register, check register, cash book, sales book, and subsidiary ledgers. Vouchers, checks, and other busines papers are made out in conn-ection with the transac- tions entered in the books. The trial balances, working sheets, manufacturing statements, statements of profit and loss, bal- ance sheets, and ledger closings are made in proper sequence. 1928-Year Book-1929 75 For the remainder of the second year, the special account- ing subjects taken up are: corporate organization, capital stock-par value and non par value, comparative balance sheets, comparative profit and loss statements, application of funds, installment sales, corporation bonds, bad debts, depreci- ation and capital and revenue expenditures. COMMERCIAL GEOGRAPHY This is a semester course: It is a study of the geography of industry and commerce, with the purpose of developing an appreciation of the causes an-d conditions which effect the lo- cation of industries. The course is divided into three parts: the industries and commerce of the United Statesg the prin- cipal industries of other countriesg and the classification of the conditions affecting commerce. In the reading and the assembling of data the student becomes familiar with the common sources of information about industrial and commer- cial affairs. The data gathered are compiled in notebooks and in maps and charts by the student. COMMERCIAL LAW This is a semester course. The elementary legal principles and rules governing Contracts, Sales, Bailments, Guaranty, Negotiable instruments, Agency, Partnerships, Corporations, Real Property and Personal Property, are studied from a text book. The principles are applied to problems and sup- plementary cases. In parts of the course a sketch of the his- tory, ethics and reason for a law is developed, in order to show the nature of all law. A brief study is made of the powers and kinds of law courts in the United States. SHORTHAND The fundamental purpose of the course is the efficient pre- paration of the student for the work of a stenographer. In the first year the study of the theory of Gregg shorthand is completed. The second year is devoted to the development of dictation and transscription speed. The requirements for credit at the end of the second year are a dictation rate of 100 words a minute and a neat and accurate manuscript. TYPEWRITING The typewriting department is equipped with Underwood, Royal and L. C. Smith machines. The Touch System is taught, which means that a pupil operates the typewriter without looking at the keys. After the keyboard has been 76 Lyons Township High School mastered, accuracy and speed tests are gradually introduced, enabling the student to measure his progress. Certificates and pins are given by the typewriter companies to students who attain certain speeds. The requirement for the first year's work i-s 33 words per minute, net, the penalty for an error being ten words. This gives one-half credit. If a speed of 40 words per minute is attained, a full credit is given. The second year typing is correlated with the shorthand work, consisting of transcription of dictated material, dicta- tion direct to the machine, speed tests. If a speed of 55 Words per minute is attained an additional half credit is given. OFFICE TRAINING This subject is required of all students in Shorthand II and is open only to them. It is given the second semester in place of Typing II. The aim of the course is to make the student more efficient by giving her an understanding of the essentials in the routine of ofiice work, familiarizing her with the work of the various departments and enabling her to understand what part her work plays in the organization. The course also covers the principal methods of filing. The transcription of shorthand notes, and typing is continued. COMMERCIAL ARITHMETIC In the study of commercial arithmetic a great deal of stress is put upon accuracy and speed. The student is drilled thor- oughly in addition and the fundamental operations. Speed tests are provided in which the student is required to work the problems given accurately and within a certain time. Thus the habit of concentration and attention, which is needed in business, is acquired. Many modern methods and short cuts used in actual business are brought before the classes. The cou1'se is one semester in length. HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Upon woman, the chief spender, depends the wise or un- wise apportionment of the income to the various needs of the family-clothes, food, and the home. The girl of today, whether or not her future sphere of ac- tivity shall lie in the field of business, teaching, or home-mak- ing, must assume her share of responsibility in spending with- in her income or that of others. Whether or not she performs 1928-Year Book-1929 77 her part wisely depends somewhat upon the training furnish- ed her by her home and school. L. I. BALDT. The aim of the courses offered in Clothes and Food is to give the high school girl an opportunity to acquire knowledge of this art which will be of value to her in her later life. CLOTHING Since a large percent of the family income is spent for clothes and house furnishings, it is imperative that thought and careful study be given to this branch of household eco- nomics. The two-year course in Clothing is elective and one full credit is given for each year. The classes meet five periods a week. One period is devoted to recitation or theory and four periods to practical work which involves sewing of all types. CLOTHING-I A-Theory Text-The Girls' Problems in Home Economics.

CLOTHING-II A-Theory Text: Textile Fabrics. By Elizabeth Dyer. The purpose of the book is: To teach one to buy wisely and be able to judge qualities. To become more discriminating in taste. To make wise selections both in clothing and house furn- ishings. To care for clothing and lhousehold fabrics judicially so one may get the greatest amount of service possible. B-Advance Sewing Problems Each girl is required to make the following: 1. Tailored wool garment. 1928-Year Book-1929 79 ' Choice of: A wool dress-suit or coat. 'Special emphasis is laid upon proper technique in the handling of various types of wool fabrics. Also cutting, fitting and finishing the garment. Models of various tailored pockets, bound button-holes, arrowheads, etc., are made and mounted in note-books. 2-Household Problems Choice of one of the following: , Lunch cloth, napkins, pillow-slips, buffet, or vanity set, fancy pillow covers, towels, cur- tains, etc. A careful study is made of various household fabrics es- pecially of table linensg their quality, cost and care. 3-Silk dress--suitable for spring. Material may be of any type of silk, also vel- vet. 4-Summer dress. Choice of material and style left to girl. Note 1. The mothers are asked to cooperate with the department by seeing that the girls have their supplies on time. 2. Other garments or problems may be added when the occasion demands. FOODS . Food classes are elective to all girls. Two years work is given. The Bell Recipe File by Viola M. Bell is used in place of a text for both years. Meal Planning and Table Service by N. Beth Bail-ey and Dietetics for High Schools by Willard and Gillett are used extensively for supplementary work. Foods I The first year involves the principles of cooking, a working knowledge of the value of diet to health and table service. Work is given in the following order: 1. Canning of fruits and vegetables. 2. Vegetable cooking. 3. Quick breads. 4. Cookies and cakes. 5. Christmas candies. 6. Table service a. Teas given for class mothers. 80 Lyons Township High School 7.

FOODS II The second year deals with more advanced problems in cooking and table service, and home management. Stress is laid on the girl's own responsibility in the family life. The work is taken up as follows: 1. Making of jellies, jams, and pickles. 2. Table service a. QChinaware, silver, glasswarej. b. Teas for class mothers. 3. Meat cookery. 4. Meal planning a. for children b. in disease c. on a limited income. 5. Family marketing. 6. Budgeting the family. 7. Large quantity cookery a. A banquet is given if occasion demands. 8. Nutritional study. One home project involving an actual home problem is required each semester. THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA The aim of the school cafeteria is to furnish wholesome food at a minimum cost, served as quickly as possible. A high school student needs approximately 800 calories at noon. A hot lunch dish, a sandwich and a dessert furnish these easily, and prepare the student for an afternoon of efficiency. A limited number ofstudents may earn their lunch by helping in the cafeteria during a vacant period. ' '..:J1f f - -'- 1'f'f , -- 1539. ' h Us .PV ,A fi 5 . ,, , 55-1214! ,f ug ,J .

A review of each season follows: The 1927 football team was young, light and inexperienced. Three letter-men were the nucleus to 'build a team. The aver- age weight was 148 pounds, and the average age, a little over 16. Only one boy on the squad was over 17 years of age. ' In the opening game, Downers Grove 'held LaGrange to a tie 0 -to 0. Fumbles proved disastrous. Fumbles and long forward passes gave New Trier the long end of a 24 to 0 score, although L. T. H. S. actually made more first downs. Lack of a scoring punch or penalties inflicted within the 10 yard line cost LaGrange 3 touchdowns in the last half of the Riverside game. With LaGrange leading 7 to 6 and 4 minutes to play a fumble and a blocked kick gave LaGrange the most heartbreaking defeat of the year-19 to 7. Proviso's steam roller undefeated wonder team adminis- tered a 51 to 6 walloping. Only 15 points were scored on Pro- viso during the season. Hinsdale was beaten 13 to 6. A second half comeback turned the tide. The Intersectional game at Clinton, Iowa, was lost 32 to 0. Senn High was beaten 7 to 0 on a muddy field. The season's results total-2 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie. The Lightweights scored 2 wins over Downers Grove, one over Hinsdale and Riverside, and lost to Proviso Lights and Bensenville Heavies, thus experiencing a successful year. ' BASKETBALL Suburban District Champions is the title won by La Grange in basketball this year. This is the first championship LaGrange has won, thus substantiating the assertion, that the 1928 season is the best one LaGrange has ever had. In the regular season victories were won over York, Hins- dale, Riverside 125, Argo 127, Alumni, East' Aurora, Morgan 82 Lyons Township High School Park fDedication gamej and Ottawa. Losses were suffered from Hinsdale, Oak Park, Proviso, Morton and York. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT With the completion of the fine new gymnasium came the awarding of the Suburban District Basketball tournament to LaGrange for the first time. Thirteen schools were entered. Large crowds attended all the sessions. Well over 2,000 people witnessed the Finals. LaGrange drew a bye the first round. In the second round they defeated Proviso, 30 to 21. Leyden was the next victim in the semi-finals by a score of 22 to 19. Morton, in a 'great last minute rally defeated Riverside in the other semi-final game. Then for the Championship game Morton vs. LaGrange. Every inch of space was filled by noisy, enthusiastic rooters. LaGrange took the lead the first quarter and never lost it. With a great exhibition of passing and accurate shooting they defeated Morton CNational Champs of 19271 by a score of 33 to 30, for the Suburban District Championship. 1'-his gave LaGrange the right to compete in the Sectional State Tournament at Joliet. In the first game, playing the same brand of ba'll which characterized their Tournament play they beat St. 'Charles CDundee District Clhampsi 33 to 27. In the semi-final game with Waukegan, after leading the first quarter, they cracked under the strain and fell a victim to fWaukegan 32 to 18, thus gaining a tie with Joliet for 3rd place. LaGrange backed the team 10076. The whole village was aroused over basketball. Mr. Pierce, of Western Springs, sent tho band to Joliet for the Waukegan game. BASEBALL A strong schedule of 15 games were played. With seven letter-men back a good season was anticipated. After trounc- ing University High and Riverside, Ipsen, the regular pitcher hurt his arm, and the pitching burden fell to Bluder, an inex- perienced Sophomore. After a string of losses, Ipsen came back and pitching the best game of the year defeated Morton, the Suburban League -Champs, by a score of 3 to 0. In the final game, LaGrange playing a high g1'ade of ball defeated Evanston 4 to 3. The outstanding features of the season were the hitting of 1928-Year Book-1929 83 Lendrum, and the steady improved pitching of Bluder. 'Dhe interest in baseball was very good, over 50 boys trying out for the team and about 30 staying out all year. A schedule of 4 games was played by the Freshman-Sopho- more team. Besides developing maiferial for next year's team every boy who wanted to play baseball was given a chance to play. TENNIS The tennis team had a very successful season, winning 9 matches, and losing' 3. The outstanding player was Leonard Vaughan, who has all the ear-marks of becoming a real tennis player. GOLF Two matches were played with University High and Pro- viso, both of which were won by LaGrange. A good showing was made at the State High School Golf Meet at the University of Illinois where Dick Mullin placed 3rd, and Pete Heppes, 13th. Dick Mullin only missed qualifying for the National Open by one stroke. He won the Western Junior Championship. Financiallyjthe season was also the most successful La Grange has had. The crowds at the regular season games ranged from 1,000 to 1,600. The LaGrange Tournament rank- ed 5th of the 54 District Tournaments in total receipts. 4 V IN TRAMURAL SPORTS 1 ' Intra-mural sports at L. T. H. S. last year were largely confined to one sport--basketball. Some class teams were formed in football and several games were played. Basketball saw almost 200 boys registered for 26 intra- mural teams, distributed as follows: Junior-Senior League-6 teams, Sophomore League-12 teams, Freshman League-8 teams. The season was divided into halves, the winner of the first half in each league playing the winner of the second half for the league championship. - The members of the winning team in each league were presented with bronze medals at the athletic assembly in the spring. The intra-mural games were played on Tuesday and Wed- nesday nights of each week, each team playing one game a 84 Lyons Township High School week. Eight or ten minute halves were played making the game not more than sixteen or twenty minutes long. A stu- dent manager kept time, score and compiled the standings of the teams from week to week. The director refereed most of the games and was sometimes relieved by memhers of the L club. The coaching staff of the high school feel that intra-mural athletics are very much worth while for two reasons-they provide a way to physical development for those boys who are not on the Q League, light-weight, or 'heavyweight teams, and they act as a feeder or training school for these teams. The parents are cordially invited to attend inta-mural games this coming year. The interest manifested by some of the parents last year leads us to 'believe that there will be more spectators at the games in the future. Q LEAGUE SPORTS The Q League is a league in which freshmen and sopho- mores from four schools, Downers Grove, LaGrange, Hinsdale, and Riverside compete. The league was organized by Mr. Stenger of LaGrange in the fall of 1926. Since that time La Grange has been tacitly accepted as the headquarters of the league. During the basketball season the league is divided into two sections, freshman and sophomore. In 1927 banners were giv- en to the winning team in each division. This year a silver statuette was awarded. Out of the four awards given during the last two years, LaGrange has received two, winning the Freshman division last year and the Sophomore division this year. LaGrange also won the 2nd annual Q League Track and Field Meet held at LaGrange this year. Track is the other Q League sport. In this, however, the two classes compete to- gether. The Q League is but another link in the graduated sys- tem of athletics in vogue in L. T. H. S. It is a step below the light and heavyweight teams and -a step above the intra- murals. TRACK There were only two major letter men among the 1928 1928-Year Book-1929 85 track squad. There men were Captain Bill Mulligan and Tim Murphy. 'Ilhe interest in track and field athletics at L. T. H. S. was greater than in any previous year. A large number of boys turned out for both the indoor and the outdoor season. The increased interest no doubt was due to the improved facilities for 'handling this line of sport. We now have a place for running three men at a time in the 50 yard dash, the 50 yard low and high hurdles with plenty of room for the fini-shes of these races. Our indoor running track which is twenty laps to the mile proved to be very successful as the curves are very well built. The track is covered with a cork carpet which aids the runner a great deal. The new gymnasium floor has pro- vided ample space for pole vaulting, high jumping and shot putting. A school to be successful in any sport must have left over for the succeeding year some talented and seasoned athletes. The 1928 senior track team was not up to standard. Some of the boys made a good showing in several of the large track meets. Mark Swanson, a new man in track placed in the high hurdles in the State District Championship Meet, which was held at Oak Park. Morgan Clark placed in the javelin and Bill Myers placed in the running broad jump in this meet. Bill Myers also took third place in the running broad jump in the North Central College Interscholastic which was held at Naper- ville. At the end of the season only four major track letters were awarded to the following boys: Pete Haase, Morgan Clark, Tim Murphy and Bill Myers. To be awarded a major track letter -a boy must have made twenty points in dual meets or three points in interscholastic meets. Tim Murphy was elected captain for the season of 1929. A great deal of time was spent during the year on the jun- ior track squad which was composed of boys under 16 years of age. These boys were mostly freshmen and sophomores. The junior track team made a record which gives it the track championship of the Suburban League. Following is the rec- ord of this team for the season: 86 Lyons Township High School LaGrange versus New Trier 5216 24V2 LaGrange versus University High 50 27 LaGrange versus Waukegan 47 21 LaGrange versus Proviso 39 29 LaGrange versus New Trier 48 20 LaGrange versus New Trier and Proviso 34 201f2 32W LaGrange versus Evanston and Waukegan 47 23 27 With the showing that the junior team made during the year L. T. H. S. will no doubt have a better senior track team in 1929. MUSIC ' Music is being given a larger place in the curriculum of the up-to-date high school of to-day. This is partly due to the recognition of the importance of music, given by leading educators and thinking men of today. Dr. John J. Tigert U. S. Commissioner of Education states: The value of music in our schools can hardly be over estimated. Probably after the three R's music is of greater practical value than any other subject. Thomas A. Edison is quoted from the Etude: To the American, music is a human essential. Mere existence de- mands nothing but food, drink, clothing, and shelter. But when you attempt to raise existence to a higher plane, you have to nourish the brain as well as the body. Music is more essential than literature for the very simple reason that music is capable of releasing in practically every humand mind en- lightening and ennobling thoughts that literature evokes in only the most erudite minds. Charles W. Elliot fPresident Emeritus, Harvard Univers- ityj : The place which music now holds in school programs 1928-Year Book-1929 87 is far too small. It is an important feature in the outfit of every human being who means to be cultivated, eflicient, and rationally happy. The demand for vocational training in our high schools has increased the importance of music in the curriculum. More people earn their living by music than b.y any other profession except three, and when one adds the number who partly earn their living by music the group probably stands near the head of the list. Yet until recent years music was kept out of the curriculum and commonly assigned to after school hours. Even though the music profession is one of the best paid, until recent years most of this money was being collected by foreign born, and foreign trained musicians. As an avocationai subgect, music most rightfully demands its place. With progress in science and invention comes a shortening of working hours and the increase of man's leisure time. Here music offers much to all as a wholesome form of recreation and a rational form of emotional expression. Lyons Township High School offers the following courses in music: Freshman music, Boys' Glee Club, Girls' Glee Club, Beginners' Band, Advanced Band, Beginners' Orch-estra, and Advanced Orchestra. All Freshmen are required to attend music one period each week. This period is given over to music appreciation by means of phonograph, reproducing piano, and singing. No credit is awarded for this course. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs each m-eet twice a week and in addition a third time as a combined mixed chorus. One half credit is granted for the year. Boys qualifying in tryouts are -admitted to the advanced band. Daily rehearsals are held with full credits given. A Beginners' Bland .is maintained for elementary players and students desiring to begin training on a wind instrument. This is also a daily subject with full credit. Membership in the advanced orchestra is given to stringed instrument players of adequate training and to the school's most advanced wood-wind, brass and percussion players. The orchestra maintains complete symphony instrumentation. Full credit is given for daily rehearsals. 88 Lyons Township High School The .Violin Class offers elementary training in violin, viola, cello or string lbass. This is also a daily subject with full credit given. A music fee is required of music students payable at the office at the beginning of each year. This covers cost of music and about equals the cost of textbooks in ordinary courses, ranging from two to three dollars. THE LIBRARY In September, 1924, the library was moved to Hoskins Hall and the work of reorganization begun. At the end of this year, 1927, the room is almost com- pletely equipped, and the books, now totaling about 4,000 are accessioned, classified and abouit one-third cataloged. The work on the catalog will be completed next year and instruction in the use of fthe catalog begun. Use of the library is increasing steadily. The circulation this year was nearly double that of last year. The teachers are sending students in greater numbers to the library for material and are making more extensive use of library books in their classroom work. The school subscribes for about sixty magazines and these are one of the most popular features of the library. Fine Arts Course The art course is divided into three major divisions cover- ing three years Work. The department, being a single unit in itself, faces the problem of having in each respective class former art students 5 that is students who have taken art, who are unable to continue in a class specially provided for their needs. In this manner the class will have to rotate or the pro- gram changes every year for three years. In addition to these three major divisions, there has been planned a carefully developed field -in Art History. This his- tory course has been planned for the background of all class work. The following outline is the first major's work: The history course will develop in the student. 1. High Standards of Taste. 2 Interest in the beautiful rather than the sordid and commonplace. 3. Attitudes of research. 4. Authentic judgment and discrimination. Discrimina- tion is the basis of appreciation. The work in developing these standards this year will be in studying: The Renaissance in France and in Flanders. The Renaissance in Germany. The National Character of German Art. The School of Prague. The School of Cologne. The lack of refinement in German Art. The School of Augsburg. The School of Nuremburg. The School of Alsace. The extinction of national art in Germany. 90 Lyons Township High School The Italian Decadence and the Spanish School. The causes for the decline in art in Italy. The Jesuit Style. The Neapolitan School The School of Seville The unimpaired vigor of Modern Art in Spain. At the end of the year, there will be a short survey of art in the Nineteenth Century of France, England, Belgium and America. There will be slides, reproductions as well as small miniature prints which will be studied. , A note book will be kept containing outlines for help in reading and studying. The art coursewill follow closely the work done last year as in going over the last problems of the year I was delighted by the genuine insight and coherent composition which the prob- lems exhibited. This work then will be composed of six units. Each unit representative of some large piece of work called a problem. Unit I. This will be work in perspective, Instruction being given in the principles of perspective and of light and shade. Drawings being made from type forms, still- life and exteriors of buildings. Color will be studied from several different angles. Scales of hue Color Qualities: Scales of value Scales of chroma Color Mixture: A tri-dimensional balance. Unit II. Composition and Design in plant, bird and animal designs, furnish the principal subject for lessons in free-hand drawing. The compositions and border designs will be done by the use of the trellis or dynamic symmetry. 1928-Year Book-1929 91 Composite colors-the importance of color gradua- tions-Frequency of adjacent hues in nature: Hues se- lected at Varying intervals: Experiments an-d exercises will be given so as the pupil may know the results of the above color problems. Unit III. Commercial Design will be given to all students dur- ing this period. Exercises in lettering, and such prob- lems as posters, cover designs, trade marks etc., will be taught. Again the student will build these exercises through the trellis. The color work will be the near-complements and triads. The near-complements compared with comple- ments. Relation between near-complements and triads. Experiments with triads. Unit IV. Life Sketching: The trellis will be used as the background for sketching. Rapid sketching for action and proportion, the rendering of the full iigure in light and shade. Dunlop's Charts will be studied first in this unit's work. Color Harmonies will be studied: Brilliant colors not necessarily crude. Color harmony in art and in nature. Methods of relating inharmonious hues. Experiments in harmonizing colors. Unit V. Advanced Composition and Design. Filling geomet- UNIT ric forms with design as well as figure drawing. Ap- plication of design in batik design and dyeing. Decora- tion of wall panels, screens etc. VI. The students will work out a problem covering part of the year of some work already touched upon. It may be commercial workg designg colorg still life or figure work. This unit's work will cover the student s particular need, it will be a long problem. Trips to Art Galleries, museums, industrial centers will be planned throughout the year. Observations of good art works of others and at- tempts to imitate them will be stressed. 92 Lyons Township High School Acquaintance with books illustrative materials and other data will be placed in the hands of the student. Particular stress will be laid upon the habits of in- vestigation, analysis, experimenting, attention, en- thusiasm, appreciation, self-control, logical thinking, sociability, promptness, alertness, industry, observation, decision, responsibility, pleasure, joy and pride. Art Appreciation The Appreciation of Art Course, a course which is cultural will be to stimulate students in understanding the great schools of paintings. Also in formulating in the student the desire for knowledge in this certain field, as well as attitudes of research. I There will be the usual study of lantern slides, prints, and the miniature prints. The outside trips will be carefully planned, trips to Museums, Art Galleries, Industrial centers. as Well as field trips. Note books will be especially planned for the course. As there is no motivation art in this course, the Work will consist on outside reading and research problems. Outstanding periods of art history will b.e thoroughly stud- ied. In this course the students will know the characteristics and significance of great periods of art activity, of contribu- tions of nations and individual artists. The course will be as follows: 1. The Origin of Art. The art of the Savagesg how it compares with that of the child. Prehistoric Paintings in Cave dwellings. The magic element in Primitive Works of Art. 2. Art in the Polished Stone and Bronze Ages. First use of Metals. The Absence of animal forms in Bronze Age. Linear Decoration of this period. 1928-Year Book-1929 93 3. Egypt and Persia. The Characteristics of Egyptian Art Egyptian Decorative Motives. The Antiquity of Indian and Chinese Art. 4. Greek Art The period before Phidas Phidas and the Parthenon The Age of Praxitels Minor arts in Greece. 5. Christian Art in the East and in the West. 6. Romanesque and Gothic Architecture. 7. The Beginning of the Italian Renaissance 8. Lonardo Da Vinci and Raphael The Milanese School The Umbrian School The Roman School 9. The Development of the Florentine School 10. Michael and Correggio 11. The Renaissance in France and Flanders 12. The Renaissance in Germany. 13. There will be a brief study of American art both in Architecture and Painting.
