New Subjects ACADEMIC MUSIC In Academic Music we use the text People and Music by Mc- Geheeg My Musical Measure Qthe work book accompaning the textj and Victrola records supplied by the State Department oi' Music. In this course we try to develop an appreciation for the rnusic ol' all time. We begin by studying early forms of music and trace them in a chronological order through present day modern rnusic. We endeavor to embrace every phase of music from simple folk songs to large symphonic vvor-ks. ' Harnionic theory is treated in an elementai-y fashion. This course offers the high school student an opportunity for u rather thorough orientation in the field of music appreciation. HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS In Human Relationships, the first senmester was devoted to Soci- ology. Some oi' our topics in this study were Population Problems, Immigration, The Evolution ol' the Family, Problems of the Modern Farnily,Poverty and Dependency, Religion, and Education. During the second semester, we studied Psychology. This unit. was composed of such subjects as Formation of Habits, Operation of Habits, Perception and Attention, Ideas, Concept: and Memory. ART The Georgetown High School has long vvanted and needed an Art Department. The year ol' 1935 has seen much that has been done by the Art students Linder Mrs. Herring's direction. The first real accomplishment forthe school was the Christmas mural. The Dickens' Panel and the May Day Panel were naarle by the Advanced Art class. The scenes above the fountains add beauty and color to the hallsg these scenes vvere clone by the eighth grade Art division. pugr ilgirigqfuur
