In all of these departments the school is well equipped For the Classical and English courses there is the library which is well supplied with books for reference and general reading There are now some seven hundred and fifty books on the library shelves and this number is being added to yearly. Of the courses offered, Eng- lish, History, and Language are the most stressed. In the Science department there is a well stocked laboratory which is sufficient to conduct classes in physics, chemistry, botany, biology, and general science. The equip- ment is gradually being added to year, 35150 in new equipment being purchased this year. The Commercial department is well equipped with adding machines, typewriters, bookkeeping tables, etc. Courses in typing, stenography, and bookkeeping are offered. Early in the school year a glass partition was placed between the typing and bookkeeping rooms with a door connecting, which has added greatly to the efficiency of the depart- ment, as it enables the teacher to conduct two classes at one time. The Manual Arts department is giving the boys valuable instruction in woodwork and the proper handling and care of tools. Emphasis is placed upon the proper joining, dressing and finishing of the work in varnish, shellac or enamel. Some very excellent pieces have been turned .out this year, among which are cedar chests, oak tables, taborets, foot stools, flower trays, tea wagons, piano benches, and dressers. In the Home Economics department courses are offered in both sewing and cooking. The girls are taught to plan and make their own dresses and are given instruction in diete- tics and food values as well as the proper preparation of foods. It is planned to have on display during commencement week the products of both Manual Training and Home Economics departments. The office has had an addition this year of a new eight-foot oak table which was made by the boys in the manual training department. This greatly improves the appear- ance of the office and serves as a convenient place for board meetings. A new looseleaf system for the keeping of student rcords has been installed. test periods enables the keeping of a more detailed record of the students' work. The installation of a Hansen automatic program clock has greatly facilitated the movement of classes as well as adding to the appearance of the office. This with the six-week -C.. W. MURPHY.

12:4 Qlflehatn Debate was one of the major interscholastic activities of the high school this year. We have had a very profitable and successful season, having won two debates and secured a total of seven votes out of a possible twelve, which tied us with several other schools for fourth place in the league. There are 26 high schools in the Southwest Washington league. A regular class composed of the six debaters met the seventh period each day until the close of the debate season .on February twelfth, with lVlrs. Ruth Brazel, our coach. During the year four league debates and two practice debates were held. We were fortunate in having three of last year's debaters in the class again, Rose Bartell, Claire Beckwith, and Delbert Irvin. Rose Bartell and Claire Beckwith each received a letter in debate last year. The members of the debate class this year were Rose Bartell, Claire Beckwith, Cleda Erekson, Eric Bjorkgren, Sylvan Ely, and Delbert lrvin. The members of the debate class have shown a great interest in the work and the competition for a place on the team was keen. A tryout of speeches, with members of the faculty acting as judges, was held before each debate. The question for debate this year was: Resolved, That the constitution of the United States should be so amended as to impower congress to restrain, regular, and prohibit the labor of persons under fifteen years of age.', OAKVILLE vs ELMA The first league debate was held at Oakville on November thirteenth, with Oakville upholding the affirmative side of the question. The Oakville team was victorious by an unanimous decision of the three judges. The students who debated were Cleda Erekson, Claire Beckwith, and Rose Bartell. OAKVILLE vs Mossr Rock On December eleventh, the Oakville debaters journeyed to Mossy Rock where they upheld the negative side .of the question.
