She sponsored the Usher- ing Club, whose members gave freely of their time to serve at school and civic func- tions. In addition, she presided over the meetings of the sophomore advisors and headed the Election Committee. Mr. Pockey, the peppy and dapper So- cial Dancing Club advisor, was a big sur- prise in a small package of helpful infor- mation. His history classes discovered that American history and Problems of Demo- cracy became very interesting through his view. His active cafeteria committee sold candy and kept the cafeteria a pleasant place in which to eat. Problems of Democracy in American history became clear, concise matters of fact when solved with Miss Titus. Cheerfully and clearly she explained such confusing matters as the organization of totalitarian government and Hamilton's idea for a fed- eral bank. She indulged in her hobby of sewing in her Needlecraft Club and headed the Awards Committee. The big, wide, wonderful world became real and small to sophomores in the hands of tall, sedate Mr. Walker. His students tramped the ruins of old Rome and fought in the Napoleonic Wars. With Mr. Olson, he greatly increased the forcefulness of the de- bators by his expert coaching. 1 . mi, , .L A 1 is P- ln Mr. Brace's geography class, Bonnie Nichols pointed out to Bev Whelan the state of Montana as the third largest state in the United States, the state de- voting the largest acreage to farming. lesson as he painted o r lndia's racial problems. f Miss Currie's senior classes studied many phases of history, including city planning and current events.

Versatile Mr. Randall helped students to daub or sculpt, whichever they wished to try. Members of the Gem Club, under his guidance, discovered the hidden gleam and luster in many kinds of stones. Peppy and rhythmic are perfect descrip- tions for the band and its conductor, Mr. Schoch. Under his direction, our band has become one of the finest high school bands in this section. Brad- ford's Mr. Music is a skilled clarinetist, pianist, and cr sharp sharpshooter. He co-sponsored the Rifle Club. Miss Stewart advised many an uncertain senior in the choice of a college. She is a sym- pathetic and understanding Dean of Girls, as well as an inspiring Student Council advisor. This busy director also taught a class of social science. Presiding over the choruses was our singing schoolmarm with the green thumb, Miss Van de Bogart. She sponsored the Piano Club. Her hobbies were music and gardening, both of which she did with much aplomb. me As a part of their art course Cathy Bromley, Nancy Bryant, Brian O'Connor, Jim Davis, Laradel Lawrence and Don Tracy painted murals of the ldylls ofthe King in Mrs. Smith's room. The library served the students for many valuable purposes during the year. Fred Edel, Reeder Huff, Dave McKain, Susan Kellogg and Helen Lyons selected maga- zines for their health magazine reports. Rickey Hane and David Gibson found that cleaning and caring for an instrument were as important as learning to play it. They both agree that their band lessons afforded them real pleasure. Shirley Roth willingly adiusted Dick Chiarelli's tie in preparation for the Barker picture of the sophomore chorus. The chorus members wore their new white and red robes in the various choral programs. Twenty-five
