ART THE primary aim of the Art department is to enrich the students, lives by satis- fying their creative instincts and natural love for beauty. The department also endeavors to develop creative artists and people with fine artistic taste. The development of ability in the pupils to discriminate between good', and ubadn in art, and to appreciate fine work are important factors of the courses. I Art education is based on the theory that a knowledge of art is of value to pupils both from a practical and cultural standpoint. Everyone is surrounded in his daily life by various phases of art, and it is believed important that a person should know as much as possible about design and color in order to properly appreciate his surroundings. ll The department, by making posters and other art work, cooperates with all agencies in furthering general school studies, the conservation of resources, fire and accident prevention, human welfare, and finer citizenship in general. I The department wishes to stress the fact that all students may participate in the work of the art classes, regardless of whether or not they possess talent or as ire to become rofessional artists. P P I Mrs. Mary C. Christian and Miss Leihla Davenport comprise the faculty of the department. HEALTH SERVICE VALUABLE aid is rendered by the doctor's office to students of the school. Work done by this department is of a preventive nature, that is, pupils suspected of being ill are examined and advised as to the care which should be taken to cure them. Those students wishing to be excused from gymnasium activities because of poor health, or illness, obtain a permit through this office. All boys and girls taking gym have their hearts tested. Boys competing in interscholastic sports are given a very thorough physical examination. -Another service rendered by this office is the testing of eyes of students who may be in need of glasses. Glasses are in many cases furnished to students through the cooperation of the local Li0n's club. I Dr. E. A. Cook is in charge of the medical service. He is assisted by two nurses, Mrs. Hazel Ellicott and Mrs. Isabel Stevenson. Dr. P. B. .l ones is the school dentist. O
