Fine and practical arts are offered through a wide range of courses at the high school. 0 Students taking art and music develop a deeper understanding and increased appreciation for the visual and musical arts. Through these the students widen their scope of mankind to interests that enrich and add creativeness to their lives, even though most do not plan to pursue them vocationally. O The industrial arts and homemaking classes present challenges of real-to-life situations that students will meet in the immedi- ate future. By this means the students develop useful skills in applied arts as well as learning the art of living. 20

Added to the curricula this year are three courses aimed at widening a student's knowledge of the physical world around him. The first, Earth Science-which branches into many fields including astronomy, meteorology, geology, and geography-is concerned with the causes of the natural environment of the world. O The second and third, Physical Science l and ll, are concerned with the practical applica- tion of chemistry and physics to every-day living and working. These courses enable students to better understand the applications of science to every-day life in this highly scientific age. 0 Another innovation to deepen a student's knowledge of science is the seminar class for seniors who wish to investigate special topics on their own by individual labora- tory experiments and proiects. I For seniors who wish to broaden their background in the field of mathematics, principles of mathematics has been added. This fifth-year course is designed to introduce students to basic college mathematics. Through the nine courses offered in science and ten in mathematics individual needs can be answered for all stu- dents in thisgcomprehensive high school. MRS. JEAN H. HOHLFELDER, Rockford C.
