E GLISH There are three years of history classes required here at Gerard. Sophomore year Arizona History and World Ge- ography and Junior year American History are studied. Finally, in the Senior year the students learn about Ameri- can Government, Economics and Free Enterprise. It is said that history repeats itself. Therefore, it is very ' important to study what has happened in the past so that the bad times may be prevented in the future. English classes cover just about everything from basic grammar and puntuation to term papers and book reports. They give students the opportunity not only to learn the basics, but also to develop their own individual interests and talents. .. 'W Don't take it so seriously, guys. Business courses are also of- fered. Although they can be a lot of work, the rewards are great. Learning business skills gives a 5 person a feeling of confidence and 5 r independence. They prepare him for every day things like balancing a checkbook. It may also help in other classes where typing papers is required. ,I in-an--V , 5 ,fu-rf s 3'- lf you listened the first time, you would know what to do.

I i This year's band did exceptionally well de- spite their small size. Everywhere you went, games, assemblies, celebrations, graduation they were there cheering us on. The choir this year was also small, but, there was a lot of individual talent. This was appar- ent by the quality of their public perfor- mances. The Art Department and Home Economics classes contributed their part in developing other skills in Gerard students. Art is a spe- cialty field where innate talent can be trained and disciplined. Home Economics students learn first hand that what moms make look so easy has its difficult moments! , Here at Gerard there are many talents. The Fine Arts Department is in the business of developing these. Examples of good sports- manship and school spirit are lead by those who are out in front, but they are radiated by the people behind the scenes. The Band and Choir are parts of this de- partment that are out in front. Their example is radiated by the student body. It is in classes like Art and Home Economics that this spirit is developed and enhanced. This is what makes Gerard the great school it is. Look! It's the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boys. 47 ,J-sy. ,Q 'U .-'
