Those students who have formed the library habit during their high school years have gained a treasure which can never be taken from them. Our library contains a well rounded collection of over four thousand books. We subscribe for fifty magazines, many of which are later bound for the reference shelves. Library instruction is given to all students, so that they may learn to use books and other reference aids intelligently. A vocational course in library science is given for credit. This course is valu- able not only for those who think they would like to be librarians, but also for any one who is preparing for college. The following students have taken the course this year: Bertha Hinman, Dorothy Gramling, Catherine Mitchell, Vivian Carroll and Ruth Granger. The library is also grateful to those who have worked in the library without receiving credit. Several girls have stayed voluntarily after school because they wanted to help. Mathematics Department The Mathematics department offers a year of advanced algebra beyond the first year. It likewise gives plain geometry, and for advanced students a half year each of solid geometry and trigonometry. For those students not caring to take the regular two years of algebra cr geometry a year's course in general mathematics is given. A year of mechanical drawing may count towards a mathematics major. Instructors: Miss Mabee, Mrs. Granger, Mr. Waddingham, Miss Millerd. Music Department This year Torrance has a very successful mixed chorus singing a cappella fwithout accompanimentj and perpetuating the name Madrigal Singers . The orchestra, though small, has been devoted to the highest ideals of ensemble playing. General music in junior high school has included sight reading and theory, the study of great musicians and their music, and also of the music of nations. Other music opportunities include glee clubs for junior high students and a course in music appreciation for students of tenth grade or above. Wood Shop Enrollment in high school wood shop classes has been larger than any pre- vious year. This course has probably been affected by the depression more than any other because students have to buy all the lumber they use. However, some very outstanding furniture projects have been worked out by students. Page Eighteen
