ptyairal Etmratinn Two recent innovations in the Physical Education Department have been a special physical fitness re- port card and activity selection for seniors. The free selection of activities has been offered for the past two years with some favorable success on the day seniors only have physical education. The pur- pose is to offer individual and dual activities that have post graduation value such as tennis and archery. However the lack of indoor facilities has handicapped the winter phase of this program. The special report card, which will be sent to the home of each eleventh grader, will indicate the stu- dents’ physical fitness test scores while pointing out his or her strengths or weaknesses. MR.

JlniutStrial Arts Department The Industrial Arts Department is designed to give each student some meaningful experience in the areas of woodworking, metal, graphic arts, engineering drawing, and electronics. Last year a special program was incorporated into the engineering field which was designed to give experience in both design and application for those planning to enter this field. Also a greater move toward more technical experience in the woodworking field was put into effect. The results of these new programs were many. Students who didn't feel they wanted to go on in school were given jobs faster. They had practical experience in their chosen technical field which is one of the goals of the Industrial Arts Department. MR. ANTHONY ANTONELLI Central Conn. State College, B.S., M.S.

B.A. Yale University, M.A. Art The aims of the Art Department are three-fold. One is to provide adequate preparation for those who wish to go on to art school, two is to acquaint all with a satisfying use for leisure time, and three is to instill in all students an appreciation for the worlds art heritage, both past and present. An I introduces the student briefly to the many areas included in commercial art and fine art. Art II takes a few of these areas and delves more deeply into them. Art III emphasizes a free choice of proj- ects under the direction of the teacher. LORRAINE ANDERSEN Southern Conn. State College, B.S. University of Connecticut, M.A. Special Reading fllusir What would you do with 33 sophs who play the tonette?,, This year the high school band, under the direction of Alex Winsco made a tour of all the elementary schools at Christmas time. This gave the band ex- perience in performing so that when the March Spring Music Festival was given the band sounded quite professional. The Chorus, Concert Choir and newly formed D.Q. added much to both school programs and public pro- grams. At Christmas the annual concert was given at the Junior High, and the WTIC Hootnanney Road- show came to the school in early December. Both the band and the choral part of the Music Department devoted much time this year to the entertainment of the school. ALEX WINSCO Chairman Danbury State Teachers College, 23 B.S. MR.
