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.

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.

THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Our Library has also shown remarkable improvement in the last year or so. A larger space has been required for this department. Miss Mar- vis Summers has charge of this work, and few ever find fault with the management. THE CAFETERIA The Cafeteria has also grown very much in the last year. A picture is here shown that gives a view of the waiting counter. Almost anything that can be desired can be bought here.
