Two years of physical education is also required for both girls and boys. Driver education, an elective for juniors and seniors, includes classroom theory as well as prac- tical experience in operating a car. Our musical groups are under the supervision of a capable director, Mr. Mori, who also has classes in music appreciation. Special instrumental and vocal training are available as extra-curricu- lar activities. Shop and mechanical drawing courses during the freshman and sophomore years are held here at school to prepare boys for their last two years at the vocational school on the hill. There, during their junior and senior years, they become skilled for trade and industrial occupations. Art classes are held one day a week for those wishing to participate.

A college stu- dent is required to take at least two years of math. The all important sciences: general science, biology, physics, and chemistry are managed by four men teachers. Anyone who survives all four subjects has acquired a great deal of scientific knowledge. An excellent education in the fields of radio and elec- tricity, auto mechanics, machines, and monumental design is provided for the boys on the hill. Spaulding boys are very fortunate in that the experience they receive in these sub- jects is considerably more than other high schools can furn- ish. Those taking this course spend three periods at Spbulding and three periods at the trade school acquiring personal experience.

United States History, a required subject, presents the necessary knowledge of the growth of our country and democratic principles. This subject is taken either the junior or senior year. American Problems, a senior subject, teaches the exact democratic form of government. Four years of home economics are available to girls who learn the arts of homemaking by preparing food, making clothes, and studying nursing and nutrition. The two women teachers prepare the girls for future careers in home management, dressmaking, and nursing. Our cafeteria staff serves well-planned meals for students through a system of two lunch periods. The maintenance crew has a full-time job keeping the school shining and clean by daily sweeping and dusting. As we leave the draftsmen of our future, we wish to thank them for their endless help, for their encourage- ment when we were discouraged, and for their wise counsel. They have guided many of us who wish to go on to further education. They put their after school hours at our disposal for our personal problems. We sincerely thank them. 12:01 and everybody is still eatingl 9
