MEMBERS of a sophomore English class are drawing numbers (held by Mrs. Weiler) to de- termine the order in which they will say their required poetry memory lines. The students are Dorthy Lee, Lee Holloway, and Judy Bell. COMBINING ENGLISH WITH MUSIC was a project in an English IV class this winter. The class learned that many English lyrics which they studied have been set to music. Vocalists in the picture are Josette Hensley, Anita Thomp- son, Darlene Banner, Janice Wil- son, and Kay Quick. Accompan- ist is Glen Wester. An adequate literary background, plus the ability to write and speak correctly, is the aim of the English department. In line with suggestions from leading colleges, our school requires four years of English. The first half of the year is spent in the study of literature; the second half, in the study of grammar. Vocabulary and com- position receive emphasis. MRS. O. R. OWENS B. S. Missouri University English MRS. C. WEILER B. A. Southern Methodist English

In a little world of their own, the Home Economics Cottage, many of our girls learn the fine art of homemaking. They learn to cook in a gleaming kitchen, modern to the last detail. New sewing equip- ment added this year includes a steam iron, and two new electric sewing machines, one of which has a swing needle. MRS. DELOIS LEE B.S. Texas Technological College Homemaking Arts The homemaking arts have great practical value. COOKIES are in the making by three freshmen in Homemaking I. The cooks are (left to right) Carolyn Entrekin, Janice Miller, and Carolann Bates. AN EVEN HEMLINE requires careful measurement.
