ART AND MUSIC The object of art is to pull the trigger on emotion. O.W.Holmes Arts and music aim primarily at the emotions and sensitivi- ties of the observer or listener. Students learn to use the media of art and music to act on the senses; they learn to use these media to evoke the desired emotions. The student playing a flute solo or drawing a contorted face are success- ful only if his work is able to provoke emotional response. Teaching students to produce this impact is perhaps the hardest job of any department. Art and music require much self-discipline and creativity before a student can begin to learn as an artist, for the subtle appeal that art and music make to the emotions is a difficult thing to master. By learn- ing to create art, students also learn to appreciate the work of others. MR. EARLSNAPP MR. BEN COX MRS. HERMINEWIRTHLIN 23

MISS ANNA GRAHAM SOCIAL STUDIES No man ever saw a government. I live at the very center of the government of the United States, hut I have never seen the government of the United States. Woodrow Wilson Courses in social studies teach the student to deal on a prac- tical basis, with theories and ideas which are completely abstract. Social studies concentrates on concepts and forces which no one will ever see. Yet, perhaps because they are so abstract, these forces and ideas have a tremendous effect on our world. Social studies attempts to make students under- stand the true nature of the world by trying to reveal the abstractions which shape our society. MR. JAMES POWERS MR. ROBERT GARDNER MR. DAVID FELL 22

MRS. BEVERLY CARMICHAEL VOCATIONAL ARTS Never fear that those in business shall starve, for a man who qualifies himself well for his calling never fails of employ- ment. Thomas Jefferson The vocational arts prepare students for immediate careers in business. Just as the culmination of any educational pro- cess is the teaching of an ability which can be put to use, the vocational arts program culminates the education of those who take jobs soon after high school. Students are equipped with knowledge which will enable them to take a functional place in society. MRS. HELEN CORBETT MISS KATHLEEN KELLY MR.DALEMcKIBBEN 24 MR. ROBERT MARTIN
