Rotogravure THE LEGEND Page 11 Home Economics North Side's home economics department, staffed by the Misses Martha Beierlein, Laurinda DeVil- biss, and Agnes Pate, trains girls in the arts of sewing, cooking, and home making. Here may be seen one of the classes industriously en- gaged in the gentle occupation of plying the needle. In addition to the cooking and sewing rooms, a fully-equipped apartment has been furnished to train girls in specific tasks about the home. Art Class In this room the talents and ideas of many artists are put into material form. Miss Gertrude Zook and Miss Bernice Sinclair lend their welcome assistance to all those pupils who were born with paint brushes in their hands. On walls of the rooms one can see the many results of these two women's teachings. ' xi A -ativfw' Girl's Gym Class Under the capable direction of Hilda Schwehn and Mrs. Fritz, the girls of North Side are given the healthful advantages of construc- tive gymnastics. In addition to these exercises much time is spent in basketball, volleyball, and base- ball. The teams of each class com- pete in games held after school to decide the winner. Work or play of this type holds the interest of practically every girl in school. Study Hall Three hundred sixty seats fill the wing of the school occupied by the study hall. Here during every period of the day one can see lit- erally hundreds of pupils prepar- ing their lessons for the succeeding day. The huge room is also the office of Mrs. Ella B. Clark, at- tendance ofhcer. Her business is to take care of all truancy cases, absence excuses, admit slips, and many other things too numerous to name.

Page 10 THE LEGEND Rotogravure Vergil Class These little boys and girls are wading diligently through the trials and tribulations of our old pal Aeneas and Dido, his would-be girl friend. It's generally conceded that only smarties talce the subject, but Miss Loraine Foster, the lady sit- ting graciously at the deslc, makes up for the unpleasantness of the subject. From what we've heard she actually makes 'em talce it and like it. Geometry Class Angles, triangles, spheres, or what have you-they're all to be found in Mr. Everett Penningtonls famous geometry classes. Here we see Don Harrison in the throes of a geometric equation of vast im- portance to those concerned, al- though it's just another headache to us. Incidentally, Mr. Penning- ton has a collection of blocks and balls fspheres to himj, with which he amuses his future engineers when the subject becomes too deep. A Class in Geography Maybe this is a picture of Atlas, but we rather imagine it isn't. Ir is none other than Mr. Fred Breeze, North Side's incomparable instruc- tor in geography. Those studying under the direction of Mr. Breeze find the subjects pertaining to the reactions of the earth most inter- esting and profitable. Mr. Breeze is the adviser of the Geography Council. Mechanical Drawing Class Here me have a scene in the me- chanical d r a w i n g room. Mr. Thompson is the teacher. The class has successfully turned out a great many fine blue prints, which plans have been used in the con- struction of airplanes, machinery, and cabinets. Mr. Thompson is the adviser of the Airplane Club. The school this year has held a great interest in the field of aeronautics.

Mr. Tourist Thompson, seen in the accompanying picture, is one of the competent instructors. Here the boys are shown manipulating some of t h e complicated machinery which has been installed in the de- partment to aid the boys in their study. When they get through with this course, they know how to han- dle machinery. Library North Side has one of the most modernly equipped libraries of any high school in northern Indiana. Exceptionally fine references are obtainable for any subject desired. Besides being a place for reference work, the library affords the latest and varied selection of magazines for leisure time reading. The atmosphere is enhanced by the beautiful oil paintings and modern furniture which adorn this spacious room. f 2 3 .- Q, ' z -1 1 . A ' , uv' ' 152-'fs5ia ,s ff?

Cafeteria One of the most modern con- veniences, which is for the entire student body and faculty, is the cafeteria. Meals are served the fourth and fifth periods. In the accompanying picture, we see many patrons doing their part to support the school and its cafeteria. Well- balanced meals and varied selec- tions of food are obtainable. The menus are arranged under the per- sonal direction of Miss Laurinda DeVilbiss, instructor of home econ- omics and manager of the cafeteria. Swimming Pool Of the three high schools in Fort Wayne, North Side is the only one which is equipped with a beautiful, green-and-white tiled swimming pool. With this convenience, stu- dents, both the boys and girls, have the opportunity to learn swimming, diving, and life-saving. Annually swimming meets with out-of-town teams are held, and in the spring, a swimming carnival is arranged. Both the public and the students are invited to attend. l
