The lower school courses in art are exploratory, probing the fundamentals of design, while upper school courses are of a more advanced nature. The art department creates all the scenery and dec- oration used in the school productions. Besides these activities, VValnut Hills has consistently received honors in both city and national competitions. Both the students and faculty pride themselves on our fine music depart- ment. A Cappella Choir gained recognition by its performances at churches and social functions throughout the year and by its appearance with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at its Christmas Concert. The orchestra performed with consistent excellence at its various concerts, and as accom- paniment at Walnut Hills dramatic productions. Through these activities our students find ample vent for their artistic tastes and talents vvhile con- tributing to the school and community.

Through its extensive employment many discoveries in medicine, chemistry, electronics, meterology, physics, and astronomy have added To our convenience and wisdom. The Einstein Theory of Rela- tivity is one of The supreme expressions ot creative mathematics. AT Wal- nut Hills, algebra and plane geometry are required ot us all for gradua- Tion.

Not all. lt iust depends on the calendar you use. In the land of the Arabian Nights, the date is i372 while by the Jewish system it is 57l2. Although differing, these numbers show that man has always been inter- ested in the passage of time and the events which have occurred. This fas- cinating study is called history, and it forms one of the bases for modern education. We Walnut Hills students gain the all-important background of history and geography in the seventh and eighth grade social studies course. The civilizations with their princes and peasants, ideas and ideals, pass in colorful review before classes devoted to ancient, medieval, and modern history. The required year of American history and government re- veals the sacrifices and struggles which went into making this nation one of the world's mightiest. The influence of environment and changing standards in shaping human behavior is taken up in sociology, while economics deals with the complexities of present day commerce and banking. Current events are also followed closely on all grade levels. The lessons taught by history, the story of mankind, may well provide the solution for the global unrest and conflict of today.
