Stars in the making! PHYSICAL EDUCATION . . . Oooooo! OW! Whew! What a workout! Am I tired! Besides making us ache all over, the Physical Education Department trains us in many other ways: discipline, muscle coordina- tion, and many games. The boys stretch and strain in basketball, baseball, football, and wrestling, while the girls strive and sweat in dancing and rhythm exercises. This year the gym oiiice rented towels to all the boys, and gave everyone extra time to take a shower. Students get a well-rounded program from their athletic instructors, combining feats of skill, exercises, and games. A stitch in time . . . Girls' gym class toes the mark. HOME ECONOMICS . . . Girls make good wives . . . but they won't make really good ones until they have studied home economics. Our Home Economics Department teaches girls to go easy on their husbands' pocketbooks as well as their stomachs by teaching them to make their own clothing and prepare delightful, delicious, and delectable dinners. The halls on the second floor are often iilled with the aroma from the cooking classes which are whipping up a new batch of candy. If you walk by some of the Home Ec rooms you can see the girls cutting out patterns and preparing themselves for their future lives. Future homemalcers get acquainted with pots and pans.

LANGUAGE . . . Parlez-vous francais? Sprechen sie Deutsch? With the World shrinking every day, we need more and more to be able to speak other peo- ples' languages and understand their cultures. Students in French can correspond with chil- dren in France. Our Language Department is one of the few departments in the country that offers Greek to its pupils. It often brings noted speakers to talk to the students in its department on the merits of language in the World today. Four-year courses in French, German, Latin, and Spanish are offered by this department. In addition to the scholastic Work, the language office sponsors popular school clubs in which the students who study in those fields can participate. ART... Has anyone noticed the south corridor on the third floor? Why, of course, it's the Selleck Art Gallery. Art students display their paintings and pencil sketches here for all Shortridge to see. Our Art Department enters many con- tests and brings away honors. in all. Pupils become very adept at using their hands in all kinds of handicraft.
