FINE ARTS The music department transports us from the monotony of everyday life into a world of delightful melodies. The boys and girls glee clubs and orchestras furnish harmonious music. Three glee clubs, two orchestras, and a harmony class are included in this branch of work. The values and blending of colors, designing of posters, lettering, figure drawing and clay modelling are subjects presented to the beginning art students. The advanced class, known as the Daubers, give their attention to the designing of stage sets and costumes, the illustration of the Golden Key, and leather work. MECHANICAL ARTS In the wood shop, construction of boats, wooden toys and furniture occupies the students' 4? time. Closely related to this branch is the machine shop Q-Nw where the boys renovate and paint cars and learn about the l'21 various parts of motors and machines. Mechanical drawing ll: F, is taken chiefly by boys wanting a subject not purely artistic. R I l 7' Technicality and accuracy are required in the blueprints of machines and layouts for homes and buildings. COMMERCE The commercial field offers a variety of subjects for the practical minded person. The most popular and helpful is typing, which is needed in most business positions and which also helps the student in his high school and college courses. ln company with typing is shorthand, which dealss with many hieroglyphics, all representing different words and phrases of the English language. A knowledge of this saves time and is indispen- sable in the business world. junior business training is the elementary course in commercial practice, while bookkeeping is the study of accounting and is the foundation for many higher forms of accounting subjects. SCIENCE First in this department is general science. It lives up to its name, in that it is a brief summary of all sciences. Biology is the detailed study of the human body and organic matter. The biology students also collect and dissect various insects, study plants, and learn of the inorganic matter in the earth. Chemistry is a very different branch of science. The chemical and physical properties of the elements are studied and by formulas and equations chemical com- pounds and their actions are made clearer and simpler. Physics is the deepest science taught in our school. lt is a mathematical study of science, explaining such things as electricity and the laws of gravity and the pendulum, PHYSICAL EDUCATION All students except those physically unable. participate in the activities of this branch. Both boys and girls compete against other schools in various sports. In addition to team competition. the students are kept physically fit by gymnastic exercises. Pa gc Fourteen
