THE PILOT ART The aim of the art course is to develop the visual consciousness of the student, that he may be aware of the visible laws, thus giving him power to create, and a wider, freer expression. Drawing develops initiative, and independent thought. The student of drawing must make his own observation, and his own interpretations, and state his own vision. The art course is the fundamental training for talented students who will be painters, sculptors, architects, or designers ; the course develops, at the same time, skills needed in the equipment of every individual, such as: the ability to make sketches demonstrating ideas to be executed, the knowledge to combine colors and mix pigments, the ability to letter legibly, neatly, and quickly, and the expression of facts, in matters of the selection of dress and house decoration, developed in design and color. In addition to the regular class work in the third and fourth years, pictures and lives of artists are studied outside of class and reported on in class. MUSIC DEPARTMENT The music of our High School occupies an important place in the curriculum as it has recently been adopted by the State Board as a major, thus, classifying it with other subjects accepted for graduation. The course gives opportunity to specialize in music for extra cultural or voca- tional purposes, thereby preparing the student for entrance to colleges of music in higher institutions. The major subjects offered are Music Reading and Ear-training, Elementary Harmony, History of Music, Appreciation of Music, Junior Orchestra, Senior Or- chestra, Glee Club, and Pipe Organ. PHYSICAL EDUCATION It is the purpose of this department to enable every boy and girl enrolled a reasonable amount of exercise each day. The amount depends upon the physical make-up of each student. The normal bov possessing a certain degree of ruggedness and a desire for keen competition may take part in the Inter-Scholastic games. Those who do not care for the keen competition are required to take part in the same games in the gym classes. Those who are not physically normal are given special work. Some formal work is given but it is believed that games, because of their varying degrees of competition which will keep the student interested, are more beneficial to the st udents. There is no inter-scholastic competition for girls with neighboring schools. [22]
