Its importance today is even greater. Art enriches other courses as well as general reading. Interesting hob- bies and many specialized types of work may be developed in art. One of the busiest departments in school is the art department. Students and faculty sponsors seek its aid for class plays. band and orchestra concerts, publicity work, publications, conferences, and numerous other activities. The preparation of students to undertake the continuous demands for art skills in many projects throughout the entire year is given in the following courses: art I, stagecraft, and commerial art. Under the capable and inspiring guidance of Miss Wihelmina Marm and Miss Marion Dodderer, the various undertakings progress rapidly. The fundamental prin- ciples of design and composition, knowledge of color and how to create harmonies, and appreciation and understanding of great works of art in many helds are a few of the units studied which help the students to master skills and techniques, and to develop creative ability. A Practicing these skills and abilities, the art classes up in the north end of the building are busily at work all hours of the day adding to their growing and varied list of activities. To the student and visitor the studios present a striking array of diversihed projects which give proof of the great range of interests covered by the courses. .. Sqv.

THE MYSTERIES of the principles of the past, the problems of the present, and the forecast of the future are unfolded in the social science departments many classes. This department is headed by E. W. Stubbs who, with the assistance of eight instructors, presents and interprets the many courses offered. It is the object of the Central and South American, Far Eastern, and modern European history classes to show the development of these areas in relation to the United States. Either college preparatory or United States history, which are designed to give an understanding of America's own back- ground, is compulsory for all seniors. In addition to these courses, students may study world history, sociology, political science, modern life, Civics, and current history. Psychology, a one-semester course which is open to all juniors and seniors, was offered for the first time this year. Its purpose is to give students a broader appreciation of some of the areas of human living and a better understanding of how and why human beings behave as they do. Top Riglafx M. M. Finrlad and E.

PENICILLIN, sulfa drugs, and other headline improvements have been discovered by scientists, many of whom received their start in high school laboratories. Today in our high school labora- tories, student scientists are at work 3 tomorrow some of their names will be well known because of the great discoveries they will make. The student's first introduction to science is through a general course which touches briefly on all phases of high school science. His alternative is a health science course. Then from the knowl- edge that he has acquired in freshman science, he may take up either natural science, physical science, or both. Two years ago, for the benefit of those students who would be going into the armed forces, the department added war courses in radio and aviation to its list of subjects. These will be retained after the war as regular subjects. Under the able guidance of the departments staff of fourteen teachers, more than half of the school learns the fundamental sciences. One of the teachers has a doctor's degree, twelve have masterls degrees, and one has a bachelors degree.
