ROBERT BECKER again, under whose direction the hoys started out in the fall on the football field. During this time they chased the pigskin over the field or did calisthenics. Wllell the Gridiron season faded out and old ,lack Frost came around, the classes were held in school. Now it was Hhow fast you should drive and what makes red cor- puselcsu. Health and Safety was a "favorite,' of many of the fellows. ln early spring, after Mr. Becker had hroadened the classes' acquaintance with these worthy suhjects, they went hack to the field again.

Without the Art Department and the continu- ous effort and help of MRS. GWEN HAMMER we would be unable to express our original ideas and feelings as we try to better ourselves in painting, poster-making, sculpturing, clay mod- eling, and leather Works. This is one class where we appreciate the criticisms of our fellow artists as it always helps us to achieve the praise we are all longing for. In a world of PEACE domi- nated by science and mechanics, the love of beauty and its expression plays an important role in the understanding of the cultural back- ground of other people upon whom we depend to keep the PEACE.
