Kidd I Picture on page 222 0 The Commerce Department, during the year 1939-40, continued to give a good general business education to stu- dents who wanted to learn to manage their own personal financial aifairs and to give additional training to those planning a business career with or without a college edu- cation. All courses continued to be popular. The success of the experimental class in Store Practice IV assures it a perma- nent place on the program. The faculty remains unchanged and no notices of withdrawals for next year have been re- ceived. Many of the questions asked of teachers in regard to the content of commerce courses can now be referred to the New Trier Handbook for answers. Plans are constantly be- ing considered for closer cooperation between the Commerce Department and other departments of the school. The past year saw increased cooperation with the Social Science Department and new relationships with the Art, Manual Education, and Dramatics Departments. O Staging several brilliant musical performances, the Music Department has displayed to the township the highest caliber of musical training and workmanship. Under the direction of Mrs. Marian Cotton-known affectionately to her students as '6Mama - these productions have set a precedent in superb productions which will not be equaled for some time to come. Of course, 6'Mama has not done all this alone, for she is very ably assisted by Mrs. Bradburn, Miss Ander- son, Mr. Swigart, and Mr. Schumacher. O Music is combined with many other subjects at New Trier High School and this new work, known as music integration, is developing rapidly and is serving many diilferent music needs throughout the school.

cience an rf lelaarfmen fri Q The Science Department is one that no student can avoid. As a result of this, New Trier has a very well-equipped scien- tific establishment, including complete and up-to-date physics, chemistry, and biology laboratories. Two new addi- tions, the greenhouse in the M. E. court and the Hildebrand Memorial Museum were completed last year. Among the activities, during the year one of Mr. Windoes' physics classes conducted an unofficial Babcock test for the butterfat con- tent of milk which caused quite a furor at the Borden- Wieland Dairy. A biology class'conducled by Mr. Reynolds made interesting experiments concerning nutrition of ani- mals and other forms of life both in the biology lab and in the greenhouse. This year Mr. Clader was added to the Science Faculty. 0 The most outstanding activity of the Art Department this year is the addition of a fine new studio. Mr. John Stenvall, a well-known Chicago artist, was the new teacher in charge. All crafts, but especially that of metal, has been stressed in his course. As in other years, art exhibitions, this year the American Index of Design and the W.P.A. exhibitions, were hung in the main corridor. Also work done by our students was sent to exhibitions in different parts of the country. This year the department is making a series of colorful murals to be hung in the Commerce Department of the school. SCIENCE DEPT. FACULTY Mr. F. C. Windoes Department Head Mr. N. C.

Courses are offered in cooking, clothing, and home furnish- ing. Again this year the department assisted in the costumes for the productions of the dramatic and musical organiza- tions. In the Foods course many enthusiastic housewives en- rolled for night work in the Cooking School. As a result of excellent guidance in sewing, the students were able to put on a worthwhile fashion show near the ,end of the term. Q The Industrial Arts Department includes in its curricula courses in mechanical and architectural drawing, and wood, auto, and machine shop. The emphasis in this department is placed on giving the students consumer information which will enable them to judge products more wisely, and not necessarily on developing various skills. The courses, how- ever, do provide the necessary background for the pre-engi- neering student. 0 The Dramatic Division, only three years old, has offered during the year 1939-1940 eight different courses in which more than 200 students have been enrolled. Speech im- provement and training in acting gave us better performers for student plays. Stage craft and Theatre Arts make possible the more elaborate and attractive settings provided for these plays. el06U il'l'l en tif HOME ECONOMICS DEPT. FACULTY Mrs. J. W.
