Music is not only an art, it is also a science. Acoustics is a very chal- lenging science, creating pleasing musical com- binations in an art. The best typist has an innate sense of rhythm. The student who masters the sylla- bles and symbols of music will master the symbols of shorthand, algebra, or chemical formulas. The student who masters a clarinet solo or learns to sing harmonically with others is developing the self-discipline necessary to become a scientist, great athlete, businessman, or teacher. The Highland music department is striving to help produce the kind of students who will have the needed self-discipline to appreciate hard work and the satisfaction of accomplish- ing great tasks.

TOM LANTZ REMOVES his artproject from the kiln. WHEN GEORGE SEARS completes the copper enamel- ing of his cuff links, they will make a fine addition to his wardrobe. 24 IIIHAIIVI IXPRISSIU ONE OF THE many projects of the art department is decorating the school at Christmas time. Crafts seem to be the favorite of art students. Included in the list of crafts is mosaic tile work. The various sizes and shapes of the projects are much sought after by students. The ceramic kilns, which were acquired last year, are fired nearly every day. Ash trays, vases, plates, and candy dishes are among the more common pieces. Copper enameling is a popular and easy way to make jewelry with the individual touch. It is most popular for making bracelets, earrings, cuff links, and necklaces. Leather craft was intro- duced for the first time this year. Drawing, oil painting, pasteldrawings, and water color paint- ings are representative of the fine arts. The sub- jects of these paintings are usually landscapes. Projects to beperfected in the future are ster- ling silver jewelry work and stone setting.
