wig .95 Mai, All vocal music is taught by Mr. Gaarder, who has done an excellent job since his arrival at W.C.H.S. Those in choir and chorus gain a real appreciation of music plus the enjoyment and fun of belonging to a vocal group. fPictured: Mr. Gaarder directs the Choir in a Christmas numberg All who take agriculture can benefit greatly by learning the methods of farming and gain- ing certain technical knowledge which cannot be taught at home. With this knowledge, a boy can more readily face the increasingly difficult problems of the farmer. CPictured: Mr. Forgey and his boys illustrate how electric machines are used in far-ming.J In clothing the girls are taught mainly how to choose clothes intelligently and how to take care of them. Sewing is studied so the girls may acquire enough skill to make their own clothes. qPictured: At Open House last year Judy Russell and Dorothy Fischer gave an actual example of the work done in clothing class.D Like vocal music, instrumental music pro- vides a certain satisfaction to the individual who can play an instrument well, Besides play- ing in the band, these students are given separate lessons during the week, which they practice at home and use in the band or orchestra. fPictured: The clarinet players are going over and over that one spot3'j Typing is one subject which is handy for everyone. In this subject you learn to use the touch system and how to set up letters, in- voices, telegrams, and statistical reports. Also taught is olfice practice, where students are taught filing and transcription work.

In chemistry, most of the time is spent on chemical compounds and equations, supplemented by experiments. Physics is the more advanced science and helps a person better understand the scientihc miracles surrounding him everyday. CPictured: Mr. Swartoutis physical science class prepare an experiment, and Larryis chemistry class, about to witness a major explosion set by Bob McConnell and held by brave John Mas- sey.D In the past many boys have been given steady employment due to their experience in machine shop, where they learn the safe and efficient operation of different power tools. Now that we have a new shop building, the mechanically-minded student has a better op- portunity for learning than ever before.
