THE LIBRARY contains approximately twenty-five hundred books, including works of fiction, travel, biography, and reference. Two hundred twenty books were added since last year. A pamphlet service, aiding students in their reference work. includes a collec- tion that covers a wide range of subjects. The school subscribes to thirty standard magazines besides a daily Los Angeles newspapers, two local papers, and various pamphlets. The librarian is assisted by students who enroll for regular library work. These girls learn the duties of a librarian--checking out books, keeping daily records, and caring for all of the library material, as well as some fundamentals of library practice. That this department is a busy one is shown by the many students who flock to the library before school for reference work or for recreational reading. Rising cir- culation figures also denote that the library is serving its purpose even with limited facilities. At the beginning of the year all freshman English classes are brought to the li- brary and instructed in the use of the card-catalog and other aids they will have to use in connection with the library. English and business principles classes also spent several periods there doing special reference work, CAFETERIAS are essential in a well organized school and our cafeteria is keeping up with the times, Everything possible is being done to make this dining room mod- ern and efficient. The cafeteria is under the supervision of Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Sex- son who serve about three hundred students and teachers daily. Eight girls help through the rush hour, working in the kitchen, serving, and acting as cashiers. Others assist with the cleaning after the lunch hour. Another innovation is the posting of the day's menu in the central hall, for all those who may be interested. The cafeteria presents a most pleasant appearance with its gay window curtains and the murals showing the foods obtained from the jungle. The Girls League pro- vided the curtains, and the Daubers have made the murals which decorate the walls. PHYSICAL EDUCATION cares for the physical development of the pupils. All the students are required to attend these classes, unless they are excused by a doctor. The boys are given five periods a week and the girls three, of healthful and relaxing exercise. During the various seasons, different sports are taught. Boys practicing for com- petition and during competition are excused from regular physical education. ln the girls division work includes formal drill, with emphasis on posture and health habits. Passing the posture test is one of the requirements of the course On alternate Fridays they relax with ballroom dancing. On the other Fridays they have helpful talks by someone from the outside. Usually these talks cover conduct or vocations. The girls gym classes are so large that they are divided into two sections, and on alternate days take physical education, but all the girls have gym on Friday. Sports play a part in the gymnastic activity of the girls. As teams are not named until the close of each season, all girls participate in the sport as a part of the physical education work.

COMMERCE has become an important department in the school. It deals with the fundamentals of business procedure, with some actual practice. There are special classes in typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping where students are fitted for this special type of work. ln shorthand the students also study each other and present helpful criticism. Each pupil receives his list of criticisms kindly because no name is signed and the comments are made in all fairness. Since a fine personality is a leading factor in becoming a good business man or woman, each student strives to correct his faults. Each student who is taking second year shorthand and third year typing auto- matically becomes a secretary to some teacher, taking dictation and writing letters. ln this way they obtain practice in applying the principles studied in class. Students who take second year shorthand also become members of the Pen Pushers club, which is the smallest club in school. junior business training and business principles classes acquaint students with gen- eral principles of business such as budgeting, buying, and advertising. Students in the advanced classes develop projects in building and furnishing houses, arranging win- dow displays and acting as buyer for a department in a large store. Another help to the commercial students is the work in the school offices. This teaches them routine, filing, and special duties. This assistance by the commerce students also relieves the teachers and office force of much extra or routine work. MATHEMATICS classes are made up largely of college preparatory students and those who have special ability in the subject, because this subject is not a required one for graduation from high school. Two years of algebra are offered, but few care to take the subject farther, possi- bly because they feel there would be no future need for it. There are also classes in plane and solid geometry and trigonometry, although these are not all required for college entrance. These subjects are studied more for their essential need to those who intend to do work in engineering and advanced science. Geometrical calculations are also valuable to students of drafting. SOCIAL SClENCE covers the study of languages, history and English, these being taken by the majority of the students. Spanish is a popular language, with three years of the subject offered. Although Latin is less popular, it has its place in the curriculum, with two years of work offered. Three years of English are required for graduation, but there are four years of this subject open to the students. ln this course students are taught the love of good literature, the correct use of the language, and are given an introduction to authors of the past and present. Strong students may substitute one year of journalism. Second year students are required to have one semester of oral expression. They drill on voice control and informal speaking. This subject is necessary, as it not only aids the recitations in other classrooms but is highly essential all through life, in busi- ness or general conversation. Every student is required to take two years of history. The freshmen take world history: juniors and seniors must take United States history and civics along with modern history and social problems.
