is oflrered a wide range of subiects in any course. Four years of high school lfnglish are required before graduation from any course. Credits are given for glee club. band, and orchestra work, and activity points are given for outside activities. Here, with better accommodations, athletics and outside activities have been increased year by year. lnter-room and inter-school sports are now car- ried on actively between the various home-rooins and high schools. Boys' golf,swimming, track,basketball, and football teams from this school compete with teams from other schools. Before l92T the boys engaged in the various sports either outside or in the gymnasium ofthe Y. M, CQ. A. The girls as well as the boys carrv on intereroom sports but they do not carrv on intere school sports as the boys do. Social activities as well as athletic activities have been carried on in the auditorium and gymnasium, Dances and parties have been given in the gymnasium, and programs and plays have been given at regular intervals in the auditorium. The Radiograph has advanced as well as the curriculum and activities. liach vear the theme of the Radiograph is changed. This year it is Progress The descriptions and pictures of the old and new buildings clearly illustrate the distance we have gone on the path of progress. A few vears from now another senior class may look back and see the progress which has been made since we, the class of l93-1, issued the thirtyf fourth edition of the Radiograph.
