CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION IS TAUGHT IN EVERY CLASS Every activity imaginable took place at Washburn during the school hours ot the past year. ln the gym classes the boys took part in calisthenics, rope climbing, tootball, basketball, baseball, and track events. The girls enioyed some ot these activities under modified conditions vvith a no less rousing vitality. The business courses prepared students tor occupations in business with instruction in typing, shorthand, busi- ness lavv, and operation of the machines essential to their vvork. The art classes afforded talented students a means ot selt-expression. The student learned to recognize the importance ot the rules ot design and color in produc- ing a vvork ot art and to apply them tor himself. The areas of study included water color, oil, printing, sculpture, charcoal dravving, and ceramics. Students interested in all phases of play production studied the mechanics ot acting, costume history, the skills ot property and stage crews and the application ot stage make-up.

SKILLS LEARNED IN CLASS SERVE A LIFETIME Under a steady hand and eye, another project is begun. Accurate stitching and deft pinning make for a hand- tailored fit. Architects in the making build their castles on paper. Students participating in the industrial arts and home economics program gained valuable experience for immediate and tuture use. The boys took part in wood shop and mechanical drawing classes. They made many proiects throughout the year which may help prepare them tor a future occupation or an interesting hobby. The girls, meanwhile, learned how to cook, bake and sew. They kept up with the current fashions and saved money, too, by sewing their own clothes. The culinary artists learned how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals tor tuture husbands and tamilies. Hey, they don't look too bad!
