., lTii. LATIN GROUP Miss Ruth Hetrick, teacher SPANISH CLASS Miss Helen Lockclrd, teacher jordh nf fha bD!ldQh nit nn fha Hllulclza- Four languages are offered at Iohnstown High School. Let me take you on a tour through the halls of our Alma Mater to the Language Department. As We look into Miss Helen Lockard's Spanish class We find the senoritas and senors hard at Work trying to master the fundamentals of one of the most beautiful of the romance languages-Spanish. They take you south of the border with their colorful and rhythmic Spanish songs. Further on We glance into Miss Ruth I. Het- rick's class. We detect a faint odor of incense, which is typical of the offering Latin students make when they go back to the era of Old Rome. As we advance on our tour We find the languages en Francais and German being taught by Miss Iose- phine Young. In these classes we come to learn a little more about the suave French and the sturdy Germans. These amateur linguists are learning the fundamentals of these languages to better equip themselves to meet and understand people of a foreign tongue.

The Fine Arts Department is essential in every school in order to develop the creative talents of the students. The vibrant voices of the mixed chorus and the girls' chorus, along with the exuberant strains of the band tell us stories about people and adventurous lands. On stage the dramatic students, disguised behind the masks of tragedy and com- edy, portray people we see everyday. Colorful indoor and outdoors scenes, odd-shaped buildings and imaginary charac- ters take shape under the skillful supervision of the art students who may become pros- pective Michelangeloes. From the flowing pen of the journalism students come words which take the form of poetry or prose which paint pictures on the pages of the Centralizer and Spectator. The teachers of the Fine Arts Department are: Miss Mary Weaver, mixed chorus: Mr. Charles Aikey, band and girls' chorusg Miss Edith Paul, dramaticsg Mrs. Madge Rose, artg Miss Elvina Owen, journalism.

12 It the The Mathematics Department, with Mr. Ralph Gillman as head of the de- partment, fulfills the needs of all students. For students preparing for college, algebra, geometry and trigonometry are taught. These subjects form a back- ground for subjects taken in college and teach the students accurate reasoning. Students enrolled in the vocational course often receive no math after high school. Therefore, their math is adapted for practical use and is most significant in shaping their future. Excellent teachers make Work in this department pleasant and profitable. Teachers are Miss Thelma Fetterman, Mr. Robert Kennedy and Mr. Gillman, Mr. Ralph Gillman's Trig Class Miss Thelma Fetterman's Algebra Class
