ARTS AND CRAFTS DEPARTMENT Under the supervision of Miss Pauline Dunstan, this department has been doing excellent work. Drawing is taught to the different classes by the use of living models and copy prints. The pupils are taught the use of charcoal, pencil, pen, and water colors in the principles of drawing. MUSIC DEPARTMENTS The classes in Music are all very well attended, and good work is ac- complished in both classroom and in outside work. This outside work is an important bit of the school life, and consists of major parts in Opperet- tas, plays, and other parts of the school life.

V BIOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY DEPARTMENTS +c- Not many schools have the efficient and modern equipment of the High School in this line of work. Among the apparatus in the Anatomy class is a skeleton. Far from keeping girls away; they flock to the class. The study in these two courses embraces all the lines of Physiology and Bi- ology. The classes in Physiology of course, study the human body, bodies of animals not human and hygiene and sanitation. The Biology classes take up all the phases of the relation of nature to man. J5 Kar- Under the tutelage of Misses Greenlee and Jones these two depart- ments are the most popular in the school. One year of Science in the first F. two years is required here and this requirement is met by the students by V7. entering classes in Biology, a one-year course, Physiology, a half-year sub- i F ject or General Science, a whole-year subject also. F! k x The one who enters the laboratory of these two departments unawares will be astonished by the array of birds there. All kinds, species and fam- ilies almost are represented in the bird gallery. Those who are entering $ High School will do well to take both these subjects, as they are both inter- esting as well as instructive. E

MECHANICAL DRAWING DEPARTMENT Miss Elizabeth Siddall has succeeded in placing her department well to the front in importance in the two years she has been here. The Me- chanical Drawing classes include four years of work. Many very good workmen have teen developed who are headed towards a successful profes- sional career, The classroom is large and very well equipped with the most up to date material available. THE PRINT SHOP This is where the iiSeagull is printed. Printing is taught in the same manner as at a regular printing school. The course is under the direction of Mn R. Winfree, who is a very capable instructor, indeed. Not only is the Seagull,y printed here, but it is also bound here, and better work or workmen can hardly be found anywhere.
