mpewmzve.. A well coached team is the result of fine direction. The mentors of the different positions are experts in their fields and interested in the success of their students. lt is as thrilling for the coach as for the trainee when a goal is made in the form of special recognition or honors. Each department contributes to the success of the game as a whole. The homemaking department sponsored luncheons served to faculty members that provided good training, were fun, and much appreciated. Attractive, useful garments are made, and foundation for better home relationship and home making is laid. Beautiful displays and poster work have been furnished by the art students. The backbone of all education is English, so it is not surprising that the English department includes more instructors than any other. Here showman- ship is not so apparent, but the records of our graduates have been good. In dramatics excellent work was accomplished and Hanford brought home the bacon in the only competition that was entered. The library, well stocked with volumes on all subjects, is a favorite and familiar spot of the students. There, too, a class in library science is held. The busy typewriters indicate the popularity of the commercial department. What would we ever do without the mimeographing work of the hard-pushed office practice students--programs, letters, hand bills, even those dreaded exes take shape in Room 2 ? The merchandising program is a unique and success- ful one, and one of the prides of the department. Practical training for home or vocational use is provided in the bookkeeping classes. The colorful Latin American Day program gave recognition to the vital and functional value of the Spanish language. Motivation for Latin was increased through the Latina Societas, a Latin students' organization. A line that holds the scholastic front is the science department. Without the flash of the quarterback or fullback who claims the spectators' eye, the well drilled scholastic linesman is here developed. This is equally true of the mathe- matics department that gives training in all phases from fundamental arithmetic to trigonometry. The whole music department has been much applauded as the improve- ment in each division has become apparent. Much pleasure has been pro- vided at numerous programs by glee, band, and orchestra. The social studies department lays particular emphasis on history. Every senior will always remember his United States history and term paper. The orientation work of the social living class is important to the freshmen, helping him to meet personal problems and establish goals. This is supplemented by the counselors, who keep the goals fresh and point the way toward their attain- ment. As usual the trophy case has new additions brought in by the agriculture department. Fairs, exhibits, and rodeos keep the work exciting and both interest and educate the general student body. At exhibit time the fine work accomplished in the shops always brings oh's and ah's. This time the work of the hand craft classes came in for their share. ln addition to being a most valuable and interesting personal acquisition, the knowledge of wood work and auto mechanics can be put to vocational use. Physical education-perhaps the girls think of dancing or swimming or basketball. Then again it might be archery, volley ball, or cold showers. A varied program has been devised and a good one. P.E. and sports seem to be synonomous as far as the boys are concerned. This is not altogether true, for a fine physical training program has been built up by the staff, and other sports besides the major competitive ones are taught. So all our teams are coached enthusiastically and well. May they be winners on the field.

'Wfw These are the men who give us the best of service, that we may enjoy beauty and cleanliness. The garden- ers keep the grounds fresh, neatly pruned, and clean. They've become experts at making string fences, too! ! The custodians keep the furnace stoked on cold winter days and brush the sunflower seeds away. More amazing, they always seem cheerful and happy. The bus drivers get up early and come horne late, so that we may en- joy the free education of our dernoc' racy. They have a fine record of practically no accidents. Bus VGTS I k IO lmvlll Vtlaic Adams, Brown, llorliu, llunscn, Llonqdon. rxonl iaw iulicuds Randxll Ianni Bertama,Garc1a. wir
