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.
