I Miss Mitchell prepares the girls' chorus for a program. I 6 ART Originality and creative ability are the principal ideas stressed by the Art Department. Through realistic and abstract approaches, students are urged to reproduce their interpreta- tions of subiect matter. ln commercial art, students pursue those principles essential to advertising, while more creative undertakings are encouraged in other art and crafts classes. To add interest-to this program, competition is encouraged, field trips and exhibits are planned, and works of students are offered for sale. Even more encouragement is offered by the Art Club, which presents speakers to inform the student of opportunities in this field. Beatrice Dunning Music students, through participation in different programs and activities, enrich school life. Chorus, orchestra, band, music history and appreciation, and harmony provide a varied field from which the student may choose. Not only does he gain a background in music, but he also profits from cooperation with others, which is so essential to a musical performance. Hzaffallwfff 45,477 77 ,pwfllwc Lois Ruth Mitchell N. J.

BUSINESS Mr. To acquaint the student with business procedures, the Busi- ness Department offers courses in typing, shorthand, book- keeping, business law, and business arithmetic. Many students have realized the value of these courses in securing office positions for their spare time, while others find the courses helpful in everyday use. Advanced business classes try to simulate actual business situations as part of the training.

BIBLE The origin of the Bible, its authority, and its influence on civilization are stressed by Paschal's Bible Department. Stu- dents are urged to recognize the Bible's value as historical literature and to become familiar with its content. The course is taught with the Bible itself in mind and is completely void of the influence of any particular denomination. X' G. W. French Miss Terry visits a D. E. student on the job.
