MUSIC DEPARTMENT MUSIC has matured from a purely recreational pastime into a serious study in school. The Greeks called it a discipline for the mind. In this modern age of atomic bombs and neuroses, we must add that it is also a fine thera- peutic exercise. Both Mr. Dickerson and Mr. Orinsby can vouch for the stabilzing effects of music on their young prodigies. The music courses offered stress theory, composi- tion, and appreciation, as well as performance. Discovery of Music, Developing Musicianship, Band, Orchestra, and A Cappella Choirs are open to all aspiring musicians. New and successful this year was the Chamber Music Club. The efforts of this department were applauded at the annual Holiday Arts Festival, the PTA Band Concert, and the spring Music and Arts Festival. In addition, a joint concert with North commemorated the I AOth anniversary of the school system. MR. CLIFFORD ORMSBY —Hejd BREAKFAST CLUB: From row—J. Katz. D Robinson, C. Strcon. C Gilbert. M.
