l t The melodic arts, enjoyed by an active and efficient music department, help instill in the pupils' minds a love of good music. Carter Brown, who joined the faculty this year as music instructor, although laboring under great difficulties, has brought the many projects of this department to a successful end. The future business men and women, secretaries, and bookkeepers, all receive their training under the apt supervision of the members of the commercial department. The school is fortunate in possessing the facilities for the study of typewriting, shorthand, bookkeeping and commercial law. Many boys are fitted for the machine age by the knowledge they obtain from the indus- trial arts department. Mechanical drawing, woodwork, auto mechanics, and printing are all studied in such a way that complete and dependable understanding of the subjects is received. To aid in the building of better developed minds and bodies, gym classes were organize ed. The athletic department besides conducting these classes, has supervised basketball, football, track, golf, tennis, and wrestling, and receives much Commendation for this work. Due to the guidance of the faculty in the instruction in every line of work, eXtra-cur- ricular activities, methods for building the physical welfare of the students, and practice in social contacts, the graduates are equipped with wellfrounded abilities in everything and a help in building good strong characters and bodies.

SB lORS liilll., We, the Senior Class of 1937, have come to the end of one of the most important periods in our livesiour high school career. As we look back over these four years, we realize that our hard work and sacrifices have not been in vain, and that we have gained a great and worth-while victory. How quickly these last years have passed! Now we are about to ascend the steepest grade of all, that of lite. But before we look into the future of this Senior class, let us look at some of its members. Beginning at the top row, left, we see the Trent twins, Moiselle and Ardell. Next to them, giving an imitation of the Statue of Liberty is 'lShorty Long, one of the former yell leaders. Then our class officers. 'tChuck King, vice-pres- ident, Charles Keyes, treasurer, lean Van Steen- berg, secretary, and Shirley Maloney, president. What's Charlie smiling at? By the way, he was business manager of the Narcissus this year, and a good job he did, too. Paul Miller, president of the P Club, Mary Cecilia Vlfelsh, student council member, and Billy Buffing- ton. l think that Billy is on the wrong page, but then the three are usually together anyway.

Here we have Mary Sharp, Max Wildman, who is quite a musician, and Charles Hoover, snapshot editor of the annual.
