The boys romp, play, march, and exercise under the tutelage of Mr. Olson. The girls work out a similar routine Cwith an occasional session of folk dancing thrown inl under the direction of Miss Clarkson. The students in the tumbling class, who perfect their art during the sixth period daily, exhibit their ' 9 -Mr. Olson, M is: Clarkson. prowess at the home basketball games. These acro- batic exhibitions have become as much a part of our games as the music ot the Pep Band. During each period of the day our gym is in use. Shouts of glee and the sounds of prancing feet give evidence all day long of activity and good times. After school, when the dividing curtain separating the boys' and girls' sections is removed, the gym becomes the scene of practice for varsity squads, intramural contests, and girls' sports. ,f- ' ss--....

Tweedle- Weedle, oompah-oompah, aaah, mi-mi-mil Can your dear ones hear it? Wait for a concert and watch the family chest expand. The Pep Band is playing for a game: a Pop concert is ony a surge of orches- tral harmony envelops youp you are learning the difficult technique of marching and playing at the MlU1f II IE same time. Mr. Boyd directs all of these. Will you sing with Miss Elmgren and Mr. Thomp- son ? A minstrel show earns the funds for promoting the more dignified projects, the annual oratorio and the opera which train in the traditions of great music. Innumerable programs about town, a good-will tour for the choir, the climax of the band tournament- it's loads of strenuous work-and you love it. 1 1. iff QQ' an 2 Center left-Senior Orchestra Bottom-Girls' Glee Club.

Top-Latin C lass. Center-Miss Gower, Miss Stumpf, Miss james. Bottom-German Class. 532775567122 LANGUAGE The builders of the Tower of Babel were re- sponsible for a lot, it would seem, for ever since their day, or nearly so, we have had to settle the question: Which language shall I study, and why? Here the answer is: Latin for foundations of almost everything, French and German for general culture and for help in scientific research. As we study one or the other, we find our history and geography made more vivid, our English vocabulary enriched, our enjoyment of books and movie screen in- creased, our sense of world citizenship broad- ened, and some days when we dial the right foreign broadcast, we realize that Europe is no farther away than our ear. Miss Iames helps us re-create Roman customs as we study the Latin language. From opposite sides of the Rhine Miss Gower and Miss Stumpf maintain the balance of power between Ger- many and France.
