QettirUf 9 t Shape, TOUCH ONE, TWO, three, four! Calisthenics broaden those manly shoulders and keep my boys fit for any sport in which they take part. They run the track, practice football and baseball, and study hygiene. During class time, the boys ' interest is aroused in sports and after school they par- ticipate on intramural softball, foot- ball, and basketball teams. This work- out prepares them for positions on the varsity and junior varsity. SHIFT YOUR gears, step on the gas and you ' re off, explains Mr. J. C. Range, in- structor. A brand new course offered this year is drivers education which gives the future driver instruction in the rules and regulations of driving and actual behind-the-wheel train- ing. SWING YOUR STICK! Make that goal! Cries from teammates urge this hockey player on. Fall sports for the girls, soccer, speedball, and fieldball are also on schedule for the gym classes. When the weather becomes cold, the fair damsels turn to basket- ball, tumbling, and dancing. In the Spring they run outside again to play softball, volleyball and participate in track events. 15

Aleut IlieosUeA, x KNIFE, SCISSORS! It sounds and looks like an important operation, but it is only a Biology I class dissecting a crayfish. In their study of animals, students learn about characteristics of many animals from the minute to the larger, more complex ones. In connection with this study, a wild life exhibit was given by the Mammalogy Club in the Fall. Not to be outdone, the Biology II classes take the flower apart to see what makes it tick. INTENT ON the dis- covery of what all liv- ing things are made of, these general science students investigate an onion cell beneath the microscope. Probably the busiest of any of the classes this year, as far as field trips go, they viewed the stars through a microscope, studied plants and rocks. CHEMISTRY STUDENT Ralph Wicke, is busy with an experiment on hydro- gen, one of many experiments con- ducted in class. After class study, the students toured the gas plant to see what man has done with the earth ' s natural resources. Also the class dis- covered many interesting odors such as hydrogen sulphide during the year ' s work. Just as busy were the physics classes which worked on the principles of heat, light, sound, and electricity. 14

CorttirtMuiCf GooJzittCf, TWO VERY BUSY GIRLS, Joyce Knox and Mable Reese, are laying and cutting a pat- tern. In their clothing class they learn the easiest and best way to make their pretty clothes. Another duty of the class is the al- teration of chorus robes. The class made and showed the latest fashions to me and mice- to-be in a Spring style show. LEARNING ONE of the first steps to a man ' s heart this advanced foods class prepares pas- tries. During the year the girls in the cooking classes learn the fundamentals of good cook- ing and how to prepare wholesome, nutritious meals. The different classes have breakfasts and lunches which they prepare and some- times serve to my visitors. 1 0 - 3 r 7 j THE TREE DECORATED by these home management students made those last few days with me before the Christmas holidays more bearable. Egg shells, paper, and paper cups furnished the dec- orations made by the class. Later the tree was used at a dance given by the Future Homemakers of America and Distributors ' Club. 16
