- ART A new department, of which everyone is very proud, was added this year. It is the Art Department, with Mrs. Doris Grif- fith as the art supervisor. Sheridan has never before had a trained art teacher. Art is taught to the grade students and is offered as a course to the high school students. This is the high school class sketching out-of-doors. MISS COLBY One of the most indispensable persons in the school and to whom We owe a lot is the office secretary, Miss Colby. Besides her secretarial duties, she effi- ciently performs a variety of other tasks, such as applying first aid to ill or in- jured students. Around tourney time, she is exceptionally busy handling basketball tickets. HOME EC What's Cooking?? These industrious beavers of the kitchen represent the Home Economics depart- ment of Sheridan High School. Many de- licious delicacies are prepared by the girls under the able supervision of Mrs. Esther Linn. Not only do the girls learn the phases of the culinary arts, but they also learn about sewing, home decorating, buying thriftily and all the helpful hints that will enable the girls to later become competent homemakers. CHEMISTRY LAB My, what mysterious proceedings are going on here? This must be the chem- istry lab. Could this be the discovery of a new chemical compound that will set the World ajar?? Those flasks and test-tubes make a fascinating array and the class certainly seems interested in the experiment Mr- Hobson is explaining. Chemistry is one of the foremost sci- ences and the students are fortunate in having the facilities and the opportunity of taking such a course. ASSEMBLY Sh! Sh-h-h-hl Don't make a sound. This is the study hall and you mustn't disturb all the industrious students twho are studying hard on their lessons. That is they're supposed to be study- ing hard, but Mrs. Cline has a sneaking suspicion that sometimes their minds wander from chemical terms, history dates, and Latin phrases to wool gathering and day-dreaming.

CONSTRUCTION This scene is a familiar sight to all who have had a glimpse of Sheridan High School this fall and winter. The new Wing is badly needed and will certainly be an added attraction to the school when it is completed. Upon its completion, not only will the wing have more classrooms, but it will also include a new music room, visual-education room, cafeteria, and showers. It crawls on my pencil, tickles my noseg Eats my lunch, and plays with my toes, lt tortures, it steals, it's a plague to meg lt's the nastiest thing l ever did see. Gads! it's a fly, a monstrous thing That hides in the dust, - Dust, oh, what a pain, That chokes me and gags me. lt seeps in the windows and under the doors. Through the walls, and up through the iloorsg lt settles everywhere, all over the place Then comes the drill's steady pace, What a nerve wracking sound! The h.arnmer's loud pound Makes a crack in my brain, And slowly drives me insane. The workmen whistle and yell, And it's -, but oh well, W'e'll stand the ily, the noise, the dust, For it's simply a must To have our new wing, Such a wonderful thing. IANITORS The smiling gents shown in this picture are the school custodians. Their duties include care of the gymnasium, halls, and classrooms, and the firing of the furnace. Mr. Harbaugh and Mr. Land have been with the school for several years, but Mr. McKenzie joined the staff just this year. In case you cannot distinguish among them, they are: Left to Right: Clarence Land, Frank McKenzie, and Bud Harbaugh. BUS All Aboard! Another day of school is over and it's time to shove off for home again. The first six grades are dismissed earlier than is the high school. They rush to the buses to get the choice seats much to the dismay of the high school stu- dents, who sometimes find that because of the large number of students living in the country, the buses are already packed full and seats arb as scarce as hen's teeth. BUS DRIVERS ln case you have not already recognized this group, its members are better known as the school bus drivers. A 'We Wish to take our hats off to these individuals who certainly deserve credit for braving all kinds of weather and road conditions. First Row: Gurnie Stowers, Russell Godby, lr. Forebush, Iohn Bowen, Harold Kercheval. Second Row: Elisha Stowers, Mrs. Paul Armfield, Ray Noble, Everett Goff, Odie Cline, Lee Egler.
