The English Department of Nathan Hale, headed by james Petty, and the foreign language de- partment, headed by Alden Smith, provide excellent opportunities for students to master their own and other languages. A study of grammar insures confidence and poise in both speech and written composi- tion. In order to become an intelligent adult, however, knowledge of classic and contemporary litera- ture is necessary and can be obtained through class participation. Our English courses offer the prepara- tion necessary for future work in speech arts, public speaking, journalism, education and the business world. For these reasons English is required each year for graduation from all Tulsa schools. As our globe grows smaller day by day, easy communication between all nations has become more necessary for the peace of the world. The leadership our country possesses may depend on our interest and the understanding we have for people of all nations. VIN ITA BALLARD History F. A. DRY Biology Phys. Ed.

W .. At right are the six nurses' aides chatting with Mrs. Brosseau, nurse. Our school nurse can be found working busily in the clinic every school day until twelve noon. The nurses aides are in the clinic every period during the day. They work directly under Mrs. Brosseau's supervision and help with the clerical work, making beds, and keeping the clinic neat and clean. Every year our school nurse will supervise the School Health Clinics and the Smile Contest, besides taking care of the daily health problems of the student body. Our industrious custodians have maintained clean and sparkling corridors throughout the year. They have handled their duties expertly, and for this they deserve a pat on the back! They have been careful and have taken special pains in keeping our beautiful auditorium, library, cafeteria, and foyers in tiptop shape besides keeping the classrooms and other facilities looking as new as they did the day Nathan Hale opened its doors to 1800 students. Our school is located at 7200 East Twenty First Street, the former site of an open prairie. Kober- ling and Brandborg designed the unique structure and the W. R. Grimshaw Company built it. It was officially dedicated to Nathan Hale, December 13, 1959. Some of the custodians also serve as yardmen for our campus grounds of forty acres. This is minor compared to the 220,000 square feet of floor space that must be cared for inside- the building each day. Sedan!

Only by profiting from our past mistakes can we expect to grow. As history is said to repeat it- self, a careful study of what has gone before can help plot the future. Here at Hale ancient history, world history, U. S. history and geography are offered. A visitor to the social studies department in the north wing could not help but be impressed by student displays and lively discussions in progress. Aristotle said, Music is neither a necessary nor a useful accomplishment in the sense in which letters are useful, but it provides a noble and worthy means of occupying leisure time. Our band and orchestra are directed by Clarence Lawless, vocal music by Mrs. Myrtle Stewart. Hubert Hogue along with Mrs. Gail Harwood is responsible for the colorful art work produced by Hale's ambitious art students.
