School ls Life 0 Realizing the necessity of establishing a happy medium between the cultivation of Work and play, this school through its many classes and organizations offers opportunities to the students to achieve a healthful balance. A more extensive field of learning, gleaned from actual experience and study, supplements the once important drill of the three Rs. To be able to work and enjoy our Work, we must select that type of vocation for which we, as indi- viduals, are best suited. Through the many courses offered here we are able to acquaint ourselves with the fundamentals of the Work We have selected as a vocation. Courses are offered in college preparation, science, business, shop, and home economics in addition to those stimu- lating appreciation of the fine arts, music, litera- ture and art. Our personalities are expressed and often found through our leisure-time interests, therefore it is essential that time and care be given to the cultivation of beneficial hobbies and cultural en- tertainment. This aim is carried out through class as Well as through extra-curricular activi- ties. Each organization promotes a definite kind of leisure-time occupation, such as stamp collecting or the study of French, yet each strives to create an atmosphere of harmony among the students. Their doings are supervised by competent in- structors who are interested in the students and give their time freely for the work of the club. The student Who takes advantage of these many opportunities is well equipped to leave the class room and seek higher knowledge from life in the World outside.

A picture of a typical English battleship is the temporary center of interest in the English literature class, portrayed above. lt is in classes such as these that Unionites learn to appreciate the beauty ot the Eng- lish language and its literary masters. Members of the Latin Club, having donned typical Roman costumes amidst not so typi- cal Roman surroundings, are seen enacting a Roman wedding. One oi those fierce duels, for which the French were once noted, is being drama- tized lor the benefit of French students. The Spanish club is probably the most active language club. lts main activity is the annual La Fiesta L'Espanola, a dance given near Christmas to show the Spanish way ot celebrating this holiday.
