job is being done in each case. The usual college preparatory course is given, and this year a new class, senior mathematics, has been added to the curriculum, designed to give seniors a chance to review arithmetic as applied to problems of daily life and an appreciation of the value of facility in the use of numbers. The course was at once popular ....... Many students in the MUSIC DEPARTMENT are studying for their own enjoyment, but a small group is studying to get the necessary foundation for professional careers. Members of the music organizations assist in many assembly programs and at parties. The string quartet, choral groups, and members of the orches- tra perform also off the campus over radio, at the Shrine Auditorium, and in churches ....... Interested in building character as Well as bodies, the BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT schedules regular gym classes, corrective classes for those who need them, and teams in all the sports. Special interest is taken in the Gym Club, and members have appeared on several programs for the rest of the school during the year ....... The GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT is actively engaged in creating interest in sports and games among the girls. Besides the regular courses in gymnastics, there are several popular classes such as rhythm work, hockey, ten- nis, and the new swimming class. Entering into competition with other schools on Girls' Play Days, the Poly girls' teams seldom fail to win honors ....... Courses in the SCIENCE DEPARTMENT are based on the fact that, in this day of great scientific advancement, it is necessary for everyone to know something of science. As only students expecting to go to college usually enroll for a second year in the department, a new course, physical science, which is a mixture of physics and chemistry, provides valuable experience for students not expecting to continue schooling after graduation. Experiments performed in the laboratories make science of vital interest to the pupils ....... In the SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT the emphasis is on problems of American citizenship. This department teaches the functioning of our government and our duty towards it as citizens. A working knowledge of the major laws passed by Congress is acquired. The faculty of the department gives valuable assistance to students who enter school and city contests on related subjects ....... The SPECIAL DEPARTMENT offers some of the most interesting classes in Polytechnic and some which are not duplicated in any city school. It provides classes in orientation, foreign opportunity, Americanization, and training for deaf and for blind students. Poly has the only Braille department in the city high schools. Their excellent equipment includes a Braille machine, several typewriters, and an extensive Braille library. Pottery Chemistry Cosmq
