The machines at their disposal train many of them for their future work, as do almost all the industrial arts classes. This depart- ment is indeed a place where students find themselves and determine whether or not they are interested in and adapted to the industrial trades. THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT of Roosevelt High School, in the spring term of 1935. had an enrollment of 1,006 pupils. There are nine members in the teaching staff and thirty-eight classes, all operating on the second floor. I he classes are dis- tributed among the various sciences as follows: Bot- any I and II. six: Chemistry I and II. twelve: Gen- eral Science I and II. three: Girls' Physiology, two: Boys’ Physiology, two: Physics I. II. III. eight: Zoology I and II. five. Perhaps the greatest benefits derived from a study of science is the training in doing things, seeing things, and drawing conclusions from facts observed. Incidentally, a tremendous fund of information is acquired. CIASSIOOMS

A CLASS in piano playing is but one of the interesting and unusual courses offered by the music department. In this class, students are taught the pri- mary steps in playing on miniature dummy key- boards. In addition to keyboard harmony an advanced class in harmony and music I-IV are offered to music majors. A Cappella. senior and junior orchestra, band, senior and junior glees arc all classes which often reveal talent. Each year the opera is produced by members of these classes. Other outstanding musical events arc the Mid-winter Concert, and this year, for the first time, a Band Concert. THE STUDENTS of Roosevelt’s foods classes have a very good opportunity to obtain knowledge which is used definitely to a great advantage in their every-day life. Successful cooking of plain foods is the outstanding project taught while correct serving and eating of these foods are expressly stressed. Econ- omy and wise choosing in buying of foods are neces- sary essentials in successful living. Students are also taught that courtesy pays at all times even though it may cost a little inconvenience. The foods classes are open to boys as well as girls, and at the present time the boys represent 36% of the number enrolled in the classes. FACULTY
