The Music Course is designed for those students who have musical talent and great pains are taken to develop these talents, and direct them in their proper channels. The Piano department has been added to the school curriculum this year, in order to give pupils the advantage of intelligent instruc- tion in playing the piano. The Art Course aii'ords liberal instruction in all forms of art, such as por- trait. landscape, poster work and printing, carried out in all the diHerent mediums of charcoal, pas- tcll, water color and oil. Divers school activities afford opportunities that cannot usually be obtained from the regular courses. The school orchestra is one of the best organizations of its kind and has resulted in the development of some splendid musical talent. The Dramatic Club is an excellent opportunity for those inclined toward the histrionic art. The Sayrs Debating Club was formed primarily for those students of the B and A grades who care to participate in debate. The Oracle, the monthly paper published by the students, constantly requires literary contri- butions of both prose and poetryeessays, fiction and wit and humor of all kinds. The cover design is selected from a number of contributions each month from the art department. The fact that the attendance at Woodward is cosmopolitan is a great advantage. The spirit of democracy which pervades iWoodward removes all prejudice of race, color and creed, and extends the same opportunities to all. The constant inter- mingling of different types provides an inter change of ideas and opinions which broaden and strengthen the mind and character of the students. Opportunity has been the keynote 0f the policy of Woodward. and we who have passed the last four years in Woodward, have arrived at that point, where, looking back over the opportunities presented us and from the vantage point of a broad and liberal education, can look forward into the future and realize the possibilities which await us. We go forth into life with the consciousness of a power which will enable us to cope success- fully with the problems of life, and with a deep feeling of gratitude toward the school which has provided that powerg-Woodward!

HEN first we made our entrance into Wood- ward, we were amazed at the various courses T and the multiplicity of opportunities which they oHered. It did not take us long to realize these opportunities; and, aided by the advice of the Vocational Guidance Committee? we were soon pursuing our studies in some course, which was selected to prepare us for our special vocation. The General Course is designed especially for the student Who wishes to have a broad, general foundation, which will admit of subsequent speci- fication, either in business or in college. In this course are offered the usual academic studies. For the more ambitious pupil, who longs to delve into the mysteries of Greek literature, there is the Clas- sical Course. The Commercial Course can no longer be regarded as an experiment. Two classes have already left Woodward and are finding suc- cess in the business world. In connection With the Commercial Course an elective course in Sales- manship has been instituted. There is also the Co-operative Course, for both boys and girls, Which offers training in the indus- trial arts, and are so arranged that in the third and fourth years the students obtain practical work in the shops, alternating a week of such work With a week of study in school. The Manual Training Course affords complete instruction in the manual arts, such as woodturning, forging and mechanical drawing. The Domestic Science Course for girls gives practical instruction in the household artse in cooking, sewing and the like. In connection with the industrial departments, an elective course in printing has been established. The innovation has been a decided success, as a great deal of the printed matter used in the school is now printed by this department.
