Artists Hold Auction while... MR. C. W. PACKARD Art Department Head, Rich- mond Professional Institute B.F.A., Art Club, Bowling League. Do you ever wonder why room 101 often smells more like a grocery store than an art classroom? Every year it seems that art students make block prints for Christmas cards from apples, po- tatoes, and even onions. Of course, linoleum blocks are used more often, but some people like to achieve different effects. Another project last year was to make “something out of nothing.” This involved bringing in bits of junk from which to make imaginative animals. With the advice of Miss Kaki Holler, a student teacher from RPI, students worked extensively with clay modeling and ceramics. Mr. PACKARD learning about pottery from student teacher, MISS KAKT HOLLER: Shop Students Build for Future Buzzing saws, noisy hammering, and the humming of electric ma- chinery make known the presence of shop classes at Huguenot. During the year students become familiar with the various types of tools used in industry. As their ability to use this equipment increases, they work on projects suiting their capabilities. Assortments of pencils, paper, straight edges, and geometric drawings displayed in the showcase near room 101 are an indication of what goes on inside. Room 101A is the mechanical drawing classroom where stu- dents are taught to use drafting instruments in perspective and scale drawings, and in lettering. Knowledge gained during the year is applied in techniques of architectural design. MRS. ELIZABETH MR. THOMAS HODGINS SOLES, JR.

Library Reveals Facts .. . MISS BARBARA BOOKER Library, Longwood College B.S., Library Club. Before school, after school, and during study halls, a continuous stream of students invades the library. They may be searching for a comparatively quiet place to do research work, or to find a novel for a book report, or a critical review of a classic. Whatever you're looking for, Miss Booker or Mrs. Armbrecht is always prepared to lend assistance. Much cataloguing and arranging of books on the shelves are done by the library staff of thirty-seven students. Since 1960 nearly 6,000 volumes have been added to the shelves by county appropriations, state aid, school library fees, and two Book Fairs sponsored by Mrs. ARMBRECHT pauses from secre- the Huguenot Parent-Teachers Association. tarial duties to scan library. while Music Stresses Mood “Hail, oh noble Alma Mater! Hail to H.H.S.” These mean- ingful words ring out through the auditorium during an assembly program. Huguenot students may find themselves a little misty as Mrs. Kraus directs the mixed chorus in the concluding stanza of our Alma Mater. During the year the mixed chorus and girls’ select chorus become more proficient in musical rendition, and the true meaning and brilliance of compositions emerge as a result. Varsity and J.V. Band members apply knowledge they have learned from Mr. Tobias as they provide music at many athletic functions. In the classroom pupils learn theory and rhythm, which are invaluable in group performances. MRS. MARTHA KRAUS Choral, Madison College B.S., Mixed Chorus, Selected Girls’ Chorus. MR.

Classes From the beginning days of elementary school to the close of our senior year, we are completing a most important part of our lives. Though we may not appreciate it at the time, the twelve years spent increasing our know- ledge will become more and more valuable. As individuals are called upon to make their own decisions, they will realize the importance of a good education. With the aid of seventy faculty members, each of us is able to climb the ladder of learning, reaching up- ward toward high goals. “Success lies, not in achieving what you aim at, but in aiming at what you ought to achieve, and pressing forward, sure of achievement here, or if not here, hereafter.” — R.
