Q OOD mental hygiene and vigorous physical health are the two worthy goals which stimulate the pupils in Trenton High School to participate ac- tively in the program of the health de- partment. This department has done a commendable job in developing fellow- ship through its programs. Those stu- dents who have certified doctorls excuses are excused from more strenuous physi- c al exercises. A ll other students, how- ever, devote fo r t y minutes a day to wi s e, supervised physical activity. Suitable s p o r t s are provided in ac- cordance with the season of the year. During the fall the Leroy Smith girls' classes participate in speedball and hockey. When bad weather forces the girls to remain indoors, basketball, service ball, and swimming are found to be the most popular activities. After the Christ- mas vacation, the girls begin to make preparations for Sports Nite. This affair enables every girl within the school to have an active part in the work of this department. In this yearls exhibition, two thousand girls participated in the three-night demonstration. Boys may try to qualify for the var- sity football and basketball teams. Dur- ing the indoor season they participate chiefly in boxing, wrestling, and basket- ball. Tennis, track, and baseball are spring activities. Since the welfare of the student is of the greatest importance, this department makes every attempt to achieve this end.

OMEMAKING will never become a lost art for the girls of Trenton High School. Practical experience in sewing and cooking are offered to those who take the home-arts course. While enrolled in the sewing course the girls have the op- portunity to contribute their valuable services for various dramatic produc- tions and social works by making and re- modeling costumes. In addition to learn- ing how to make their own clothing, these students also discuss various prob- lems in homemaking and receive timely advice about how to solve them. There is also a three-year cooking course which these girls may select, pro- viding they are interested in cooking, either as an occupation or for practical home use. The preparation of food, the study of diet, its scientific basis, care for silverware and dishes, and the use of l26l table etiquette are some of the main top- ics of discussion in this specific course. For those boys interested in cooking as an occupation, there are special courses in short-order cooking. Many of these boys were permitted to serve mem- bers of the faculty at noontime. The boys have prepared the food served at several school functions, thereby gaining invalu- able experience in the technique of tak- ing orders for food and serving it prop- erly. The preparation of foods, however, is the main objective of study in this course. The biggest project of the department was the annual Fashion Show, presented on June 4 before the public and the stu- dent body alike. Sport and afternoon dresses, made and modeled by the stu- dents, were featured by the girls enrolled in the various domestic-art courses.
