The English Department is composed of seven teachers. Three of these teachers serve the junior high school. They are Mrs. Marguerite Sharpe, Mrs. Mary Ann Jones, and Mrs. Elizabeth Butler. Although some literature is taught in junior high school, the primary work is done in grammar, sentence structure, paragraph writing, and other basic requisites. There are four teachers of English in senior high. Miss Hall spends her day teaching oral conv munication. All sophomores take speech, and many juniors and seniors continue through eleventh and twelfth grade. Miss Black, Miss Patton, and Miss Ellis continue the study of grammar, written communication, and literature. Seated: Marguerite Sharpe, Mary Ann Jones, Elizabeth Butler, Jean Patton.

Miss Long continues her work, but Jim Hetrick, Horry Sharpe, Tom Moore, Don Shilling, and Harold Swartz are interested in the photographer. Art, Seek A, and tfluAic (jitie PleaAure First on our list of fine arts is the library. As you all know. Miss Mary Long is our librarian. Miss Long went to Hood College and to Clarion State Teachers College. She likes sports, traveling, and reading. Besides all her work in taking care of the books in the library, she is sponsor of the library club, a group of seventeen students that assist her. All in all, Miss Long has very few minutes to herself in a regular school day. Next is the well-known band, which is directed by Mr. Harry Neuhard. Mr. Neuhard went to Penn State University. Besides the band, Mr. Neuhart directs the clarinet quartet and the dance band. If you spend much time at the Y. M. C. A., you'll discover he does too. He works very hard to make our band one of the best, and we are all sure he does his job well. Another group is the Art Department, which is directed by Mr. Charles Park. Mr. Park had his training at Washington and Jefferson. Outside of his art classes, he sponsors the Art Club and the class plays. The Art Club consists of members who are interested in special art work. We all know Mr. Park worked very hard on the class plays, which he made a success. Next and last is the music department directed by Miss Ro-mayne Aumiller, who also went to Penn State. Beside her music classes, she has the choruses and special singing groups. The vocal music department is a success only by much hard work in selecting music, rehearsing groups, and preparing performances for the public.
