-Hz ta experiment with and study every phase of art, working with charcoal, tempora colors, pastels, and ink. Often a student is chosen for a model for those of his fellow classmates who are especially interested in portraiture. As a result of their work, these art students are often the winners of valuable prizes in contests sponsored by large publications and colleges. In mechanical drawing, the drawing boards are clutf tered up with T squares, drafting instruments, and drawing paper. Great care is taken in carrying out the plans for the drawing and letters are proportionf ately made. The band, the orchestra, the choir, beginning and advanced choruses, and classes in harmony and music appreciation offer excellent training in music. From the combined groups come our music festivals, conf certs and the music of our chapel programs. Mme, one, Qfot, 727144 I.: f a 'Fi 1 ,n I, f . MR. ROBT. O.
