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

Since this annual is largely the work of the students, we believe that we have embodied in the liolomi the thingrs which the students will appreciate most. For our theme we have chosen Htreesf' not only because it gives oppor- tunity for much art work, but also because it symbolizes the high school student. The sophomore who enters Yakima lligrh reminds one of a young tree. as is verified by the frequent reference to him as green or a young sprout. During the three years he develops from a young stripling into man- hood and at gxraduation time is ready to blossom forth into the world. We wish to make special mention of the work done by the art staff. lt has helped very much in making the 1939 liolomi a beautiful and interesting pub- lication. These students, headed by Al liahler and Kathleen Foster, produced excellent designs for our annual. We also wish to extend our most sincere thanks to the following! persons and concerns without whose help the publication ot' the liolomi would have been impossible: Miss Strase, Miss Collins, Miss Zickler, the members ot' the ltolomi staff, the VVestern Engraving Co., Abrams, Art Studio, Yeager's Home Portrait Studio, and the organizations who solicited contributions to help fi- nance the book. We wish especially to thank the Yakima Independent for their generosity in lending their pictures and also the Republic Publishing' Uompany for the pictures loaned to us and for their help and cooperation in the printing: of this book.
