TYPING Both first and second year typing, under the watchful guidance of Miss Wightman and Mrs. Smith, learn the different types of letter writing, correct spacing, and everything else that will be needed by a typist in an office. Typing is beneficial to a person even though he does not intend to be a typist, for it teaches co-ordination of the mind, eye, and hand. Also, emphasis is placed on accuracy, not speed. GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The principal objective of physical edu- cation is to teach a student the meaning of cooperation and good sportsmanship, and also to make one alert and able in body and in mind. , This year, Miss Regan, Physical Edu- cation instructor, began teaching the rudi- ments of field hockey. This proved an interesting sport and resulted in a tourna- ment between the different gym classes. Also this year, the students learned how to do the square dance and other old-time dances. MECHANICAL DRAWING Mechanical Drawing, a subject taken by both boys and girls, is one of the most interesting classes in the high school, for it teaches the student how to plan and draw blueprints which are used as a guide in constructing various projects.
