C RRICULU Future artists try to finish their plates before the marking Period deadline. THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS Bignall's Foundry donated two cash awards for the best vises made by vocational machine shop students from cast- ings furnished by Bignall's. Another contest was staged by the same company for the construction of woodworking lathes. A set of stencils used for lettering traffic signs on streets was made for the village. School forms, the weekly newspaper, tickets, and blotters were run off by the mem- bers of printing classes. Agriculture students and their instructor examine dif- ferent types of grains. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Correctness, cooperation, and sportsmanship are the aims behind the physical education courses. The skills and fundamentals of each sport are first worked out and then put into practice through spirited games. The major sports played seasonally in the Boys' Gym classes are foot- ball, basketball, baseball, tennis, and track. In the girls' physical education classes, the members participate in volleyball, soccer, basketball, softball, and folk dancing. Health Teacher Edith Grant explains an eye chart to four interested students. THE FINE ARTS Because every one is a constant consumer and an occa- sional producer of art products, the Art Department tries to develop, through experimentation and practice with the materials and tools of art, an appreciation of art and a development of skill in various art tields. In the lower grades, the pupil is encouraged to develop and apply criti- cal analysis and a feeling for form. Advanced courses make art work enjoyable and practical to those of both limited and special interests. Posters, programs, and tickets are printed in our own High School print shop. AGRICULTURE Agriculture becomes a more specialized and extensive business enterprise each year. In the agricultural classes dairy, fruit, and general farming problems are discussed. Supervised farming projects, field trips, and participation on judging teams at the Lockport and the New York State Fairs have added to the knowledge of the agricultural student. Through these experiences students are prepared for expert and skilled farming in the future. Girls limber up in gym class by means of toe-touching and stretching exercises. HEALTH Through health, the student is alerted to the methods of living in home, school, and community. The health course provides: information on the structure and functions of the bodyg the causes, preventions, and cure of major diseasesg mental and emotional healthg accident preven- tiong first aid measures: child careg and a wholesome home life. Eating habits, cleanliness, attractiveness, and social behavior in daily living are improved.
