“The ashgrove, how graceful.,, sings the choir in prepara- tion for the traditional Christmas program. Students begin practice as much as six weeks before the production. Music Barbershop quartets spur music interest This year the Music Department of Edsel Ford was quite new and different. The increased number of musical assemblies proved their worth: students enjoyed and profited from increased exposure to music. The Associa- tion of Barbershop Quartets, a new singing group, sparked the interest of many gentlemen around the school. All the groups—the school choir, the ensemble, the band and orchestra, as well as the many folk groups indicated that Kdsel Ford sports quite a number of musicians and music lovers. This attitude toward music has been aided by the Music humanities program which helps students better appreciate the music they hear. Some students became so interested in music that they formed extra-curricular groups; and most of the rehearsals, the daily practices, and the hard work was done after school hours. es, it was hard work, but the musicians loved the results. “La-la-la. Softer, altos! Come on, sopranos, project!“ Mr. Jessie Young gets right into the contagious spirit of the song, as he directs the Senior Choir. Caught with her mouth open, but not in surprise, is Mrs. Ruth Stolfo. She is directing a music class in which some of the students are members of the choir. Curricular Life 29

Art Artists find fascination through self-expression The room appears to be a flurry of confusion and chaos, but beneath this facade flows an under- current of order and efficiency. Here, the Art De- partment induces the use of artistic means as the language of expression. With brush and palette, chisel and stone, and every other means which man has discovered, it strives to keep alive the growth of the student’s abilities by providing him with an interesting curriculum, experience in practice, and the appreciation and understanding of art. This, coupled with the art humanities pro- gram, develops the powers of perception and evaluation. These combined areas allow the stu- dent to produce a work of art which is a credit to his intellect and imagination, while letting him realize the necessary skill and genius involved. The application of geometric objects and shapes in the media of art is discussed by Mr. Robert LeVeque, Mr. Robert Ferguson, and Art Department Chairman Marion Carson. 10A.
