Each year an operetta is given. Great interest is ta- ken in making this production success- ful. Elaborate stage sets are constructed by the manual train- ing department and decorated by art students. Besides the sub- jects already men- tioned, mechanical drawing, art, man- ual training, agri- culture, public speaking, econom- ics, civics, sociology, hygiene, and ,gym are open to the stu- dents. There are a large number of stu- dents enrolled in these classes. This year an R. O. T. C. unit was ad-ded to our curric- ulum and has given much enjoyment to the boys who be- came a part of it. Our enrollment shows that next year many m o re W as boys expect to take Smfly Hizllp Coalqing, IO4,' Typing, 311, jI2,'f1gI'iCII1IIll'l', l12,'n1EChHl1ffUIDl'0lVi71g, 106 part in this activity. . Chrisman is indeed fortunate in having such a wide variety of subjects from which students may arrange their courses. Our class room views represent only a few of our many interesting classes. Practically all views show the students at w'ork. Classes were interrupted that we might attain this effect: to portray our school life while in action. :Students find it exceedingly difficult to determine which classes are the most interesting, due to the fact that the instructors are attempting to present superior and interesting material.
