Courtesy of The Yakima Independent This delightful picture of the dining room in our school gives some idea ol' the effectiveness of our home economics department. Here have been served teas to patrons and faculty, dinners to lf.-T. A., faculty, council of su- pervision, and other groups. Seated at the tea table is Miss liedhetter and she is being assisted by Louise Mt-Fee and Florence lVoodward. The ten other departments of our school are just as effective as this de- partment. The music department furnishes opportunity for students inter- ested either in vocal or instrumental work. Classes in journalism, creative Writing, and public speaking have been organized for those who are inter- ested in Written and oral expression. Social science classes keep students interested in problems of the day. Foreign correspondence adds interest to work in foreign language classes. Art, incehanical drawing, sewing, agri- culture, and manual arts are open for those whose talents are largely manual in nature. This year a course in carpentry was added. The boys in this course have built a very attractive house. Besides these the regular academic courses are offered. At present, there are enrolled in thc Yakima senior high school about sixteen hundred students. The needs of these students are taken care of by a faculty of fifty-three teachers. While many of our students live near the school building. there are some traveling by bus, bicycle, car and foot distances of twelve or fifteen miles in order to avail themselves of the oppor- tunities offered by Yakima senior high school. ,six
