S., a student may wish to pursue the complete commercial courseg or he may choose to elect only a year of a business subject. Many new pieces of equipment were added to this department. These pieces included six electric typewriters - five I. B. Mfs and one Royal machine - and several other new manual-operated typewriters. A new accretion for the advanced commerce classes was an Edi- son Voice Writer dictation machine.

And Use Uur Minds And Bodies .Ari Many art students, this year, have derived a great deal of pleasure from their courses in fine and applied art. Various new features were added to the art department which enabled students to develop their skills more fully in this field. To the ceramic department were added three potters' wheels, two kilns, and a spray booth. Large drawing tables, double sinks, and added cabinet space are many of the new features which were enjoyed by Lorena Williams' art classes. Doloris McDonald and one of her girls' health classes ex amine Oscar in their study of the human body. 8 ollglaafy A new feature at S. H. S. which students en- joyed throughout the year was the spacious four-room library. The reading area in the large main room has been furnished with a couch and two lounge chairs. Magazines and newspapers could be found in this part of the room. The quiet, new study room was a great help when making special reports and doing research work. Sev- eral sets of encyclopedias provided students with information which enabled them to have better understandings of their chosen topics. Olive Kinsley, the librarian, had a workroom adjoining the main reading room for preparing the books for the shelves and for taking care of all the necessary library paper work. JUMAL A subject of great importance to all students is health. Doloris McDonald, girls' health in- structor, and Arthur Barnett, boys' health in- structor, helped pupils to obtain a better under- standing of the functions of the body. During the one-semester course, the students studied cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Blood typ- ings were made on all class members and on members of the faculty who requested it.
