5(ie Arts LEON DASHOFF D.A., Odessa Conser- vatory, Russia Sti ' inged Instruments and Orchestra Director The Arts It’s difficult to decide who is enjoying this the most— Mr. Howell or the class members. Anyway, they all seem to be having fun. RICHARD E. HOWELL B.M., M.M., West- minister Choir Col- lege, Univ. of Mary- land Senior Vocal Music, General Music Sponsor: Junior High Choir, Junior Class, Pep Club RICHARD RAMSDELL B.A., M.M., Univer- sity of Oregon Band The strictly academic course of study would be a dull bill-of-fare in- deed were it not for the offerings of the courses which are represented on these pages. These courses furnish the student with a cultural enrich- ment that is essential to his high school education. Although mastery in the arts represented here is sought, the basic aims are to develop an appreciation and understanding of these arts as well as skills in the participation in them. Closely allied with the classroom activities are the following co - curricular functions that are an outgrowth of the class- room activities : woodwork and metal- craft exhibitions, art exhibitions, homemaking exhibitions, vocal and instrumental concerts (four concerts were presented this school year), art work for school publications and scenic art design for plays and social functions. 23

tone Knights tjtie Senior Class “And after the keeping of the vigil, he again went in the chapter and kneeling down, he teas asked three times if he still desired to enter the order, and replying in the affirmative, the Master of the Temple took the sword and laid it three times on his shoulder, saying as he did so, ‘In the name of God, St. Michael and St. George, I make thee knight,’ and admitted him to the vows, a nd pledged him in body, honour, and estate, to defend his brothers-in-arms as he himself would henceforth be de- fended.” 24 Cronique de Bohun
