The Art Department of the Springfield High School offers a most interesting and helpful course not only to those who intend to carry on more extensive work in this field but to those who are delighted in acquiring a more 'thorough' knowledge of art in its better forms. Two courses are offered to the students: the 'regular art course, and an art appreciation course. In the regular art course the first year students are given fundamental work, which includes pencil and color design work. Later they are in- structed in painting flowers, figures, posters, in advanced charcoal and Pencil design work, and in wood blocks, water colors, and in drawingsg The art appreciation course teaches the fundamentals of architecture, house furnishings, color harmony, and master paintings. - ' .

L. AURELIUS General Offices The renowned efficiency of the high school office is due to four intelligent, likeable young ladies, Miss Aurelius, Miss Atkins, Miss Taylor and Miss Davis. These ladies all graduated from Springfield High School in recent years and at present are very important cogs in the office machinery. V The affairs of the Cooties', are in charge of Miss Aurelius. Their absences, cuts, credits, and some of their misbehaviors are all under her supervision. Her friendliness goes a long way towards making the timid freshmen feel at home in Central High. The affairs at Senior High are in the charge of three persons. Miss Atkins has charge of the credits, Miss Taylor the attendance, and Miss Davis the correspondence. The clammy fear which settles on a person as he answers an office call of Mr. Davis is somewhat offset by the pleasant attitude of this office force. M. TAYLOR E. ATKINS M.

To the student who has studied no modern language the above three sentences seem Greek. They are really not Greek but are Spanish, French, and German sentences. The Modern Language Department offers three languages that will ultimately help the student in social activities and business aggressiveness. Three years of French and Spanish are of- fered with various courses of study in grammar, pronunciation, literature, composition, and conversation. Stories are read whichtell of the life, customs, and ideals of the peo- ple. After the first year the conversation in class is held in the language being studied. In German the first year is devoted to grammar, poems, and story telling. The second year is devoted mostly to translation. 92 Spanish Class Twenty-three
