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.

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--....

ID IU IB IL ll IC AX If II ID N JI PUBLICATIONS If the itch to create drives us into literary endeavors, we can always find an outlet in our publication courses. There we may produce our news stories, express our inventive genius through feature stuff, appeal to the buying public through subtly devised advertising copy, and find escape for our artistic selves in the fashioning of a yearbook. Our News, published throughout the school year, represents the cooperation of several departments. From Mr. Hakanson's class in journalism comes the copy which is set by Mr. Swenson's typesetters. On the school presses, also supervised by Mr. Swenson, the News is run. The issuing of this annual is a year's task. Mr. Smith's class takes and prints the pictures. The Kodak students work with the photographers in producing this pictorial history of our school year. Q A Top-journalism Class. Center-Mr. Swenson, Mr. I-lakanson Bottom left-Printing Class.
