'Ne .. ss f ag: .... 1-s The General Course offers varied training and experience to students who are undecided about their particular field of interest. The subjects include: band, chorus, phys ed, health assistance, newswriting, yearbook production, library training, and drawing and painting. Because the yearbook and newswriting classes are recognized organizations on the campus, their work is covered in that section of Ka Menehune. Student librarians serve during class time and recesses. During the year, they receive elementary training in library techniques, process all reading materials-both periodicals and books-for both the high school and elementary school divi- sions. Their year's program also includes activities to foster love for books. In physicaleducation classes the mind as well as the body is trained. The major sports for the boys are football, base- ball, basketball, and uack. They learn and practice the fundamentals of these sports to develop fast thinking in making split second decisions, and also to be physically fit. The girls also do the same things except that they have a wider vari- ety of sports to play, such as volleyball, softball, prisonball, hockey, and tennis. They also learn first-aid in this class. The main purpose of the drawing and painting class is to stimulate interest in drawing and painting, and to give stu- dents a chance to practice and develop special ability. The class works with different mediums--water color, oil, char- coal, and pencil. Most of the work is done from stills set up in the room under a spot light, l'ne chorus classes are designed to instil in the students a love for the best in music, to give students an opportunity for self-expression, a background for future appreciation and expression in music, and to help students enjoy singing, The obJect1ves of the band class are to help students develop to their fullest capacity through music' to help develops' l a pleasurable attitude toward music through participating in various music activitiesg to acquaint students with all types of band musicg and to help develop music reading skill, The health assistants help Mrs. Morinaga to care for students who become ill in school. They arrange for students to go to the hospital when necessary or to leave school when their illness is serious, and to give first-aid to student's injuries which occur on the campus. The students give assistance to school programs of the various health agencies such as the Board of Health, Bureau of Sight Conservation, and Kauai Tuberculosis Association. l
