THE ROUND-UP Mr. W. D. Fletcher Graduate of the Battle Creek School of Physical Education. Wheaton (111) College, 2 years. Elmhurst (111) College, 3 years; Professional baseball, basketball and football, 3 years, in actual competition. Department of Physical Training and Athletics While Rawlins High School was unable to compete in interscholastic athletics during the past year, basketball, the major sport, was fostered with the idea of maintaining in the High School, material for the future. This was accomplished by the institution of an intra-school basketball tournament and by correlating basketball work with Physical Training classes. The aims of Physical Training—excluding basketball were to provide recreational deviation from the regular school work, to stimulate an interest in wholesome sports and games and to build up bodily strength and vigor through exercise and play.

THE ROUND-UP Mr. S. A. Axtens Manual Training Instructor Manual Training Department No other department in the High School curriculum offers to a wide-awake energetic boy so much enjoyment and practical knowledge as the Vocational Department. To know how to do cabinet work and carpentry after you are out of school is an asset. With the Mechanical Drawing Department, The Wood Turning Department, The Cabinet Making Department and the Department of Carpentry, each fitted with modern hand and power tools no real boy ought to go through High School without having some years of Manual Training to his credit.

Rawlins, Wyoming, Supervisor of Music and Art. M usic Department The first week of school the Girl’s Glee Club and High School Orchestra were organized. Conflicting class honors made it impossible to organize the Bovs’ Glee Club. The work of the Girls’ Glee Club has been very satisfactory and of a high order. History of music has been added to the class work. Most of the girls found note book work more difficult than singing but did most with good results. The boys planned a minstrel early in the year but prevailing conditions occasioned its abandonment, just when the work was well under way. The regular year’s work of the H. S. Orchestra ended with the Second Semester. The operatta this year was given by the pupils of the grades. “The Maid and the Middy” was presented, and proved a great success. At present the Glee Club is working on songs for May Festival and Commencement. Art Department The work of the Art Department has been very comprehensive. History of Art has been added to the regular work which includes design, lettering, book plates, book stands, placards, decorative, still life, modelling, posters, calendars, posing, charcoal, water color, landscape, perspective and Art in Nature. Much work has also been done for the Annual.
