Modern musicians and artists... Courses of Music and Art Cpen to Talented Students Fine arts . . . drawing and music . . . open to any . . . talented student . . . in the high school . . . and . . . for those who do not have talent . . . there is a means . . . of creating . . . Iinding . . . and de- veloping it. If one can read music . . . there is the possibility . . . that he will make . . . a clarinet player . . . a drummer . . . or an expert . . . on any instrument . . . so . . . if the interest . . . of the student . . . runs high . . . he is taken . . . by music instructor . . . Mr. F. A. Ringrose . . . and taught . . . the method of playing . . . the desired instrument. Fresh- men . . . sophomores . . . girls . . .and boys . . . no one is excluded . . . from a class . . . of musical training. But . . . musical training . . . does not include . . . training . . . on only one instrument . . . If the student wishes . . . and if he shows possibilities . . . which are good . . . he is permitted . . . to take les- sons . . . on as many instruments . . . as he chooses. These may include . . . bells . . . bass viol . . . vio- lin . . . clarinet . . . sliding trombone . . . bass horn . . . cornet . . . drums . . . saxophone . . . or what have you. Senior art students work on assigned sub- jects. it - Himler, Ringrose. After a student . . . has shown . . . sufiicient progress . . . he is advanced . . . to the junior orches- tra . . . or to the junior band . . , While still a mem- ber of these organizations . . . his training contin- ues . . . until he is placed . . . in the senior band . . . or in the senior orchestra. Musical training . . . does not include . . . only instrumental lessons . . . but also . . . chorus . . . Through four years . . . girls' choruses . . . are prac- ticed . . . and trained . . . for performances . . . such as music night . . . Christmas plays . . . carol- ling . . . and commencement exercises. A black pencil . . . a sheet of drawing paper . . . and the supervising eye . . . of Miss Mary Himler . . . make . . . the four year . . . art course . . . practically complete . . . With very little variation . . . among the classes freshmen . . . sophomores . . .juniors . . . and seniors . . . work together . . . making posters . . . sketching pictures . . . lettering signs . . . and cutting block prints. Each year . . . the art exhibit . . . sponsored by Miss Himler . . . inspires her young students . . . on to better work . . . Trips . . . and visits . . . to the alt museum . . . do their part . . . in pointing out . . . the advantages . . . of a good course in art . . . along with . . . the various . . . poster contests . . . held throughout the year . . . Posters . . . advertis- ing plays . . . ticket sales . . . publications sales . . . warning . , . against fires . . . and pleading . . . for poppy sales . . . are all contributed . . . willingly . . . by the art department.
