FINE ARTS “Art is long:, life is brief.” This may be the reason why Whistler’s Mother has lasted longer than Whistler—or maybe she was just too much for him. To encourage development of students who are interested or gifted in the fine arts is the purpose of this department. Band and orchestra are offered for those students interested in instrumental music, and chorus for the ones who lean toward vocal music. Drama is the course for those who like to act, but for those who enjoy painting and sculpture, art is the ideal course. Concerts are given throughout the year by the music department and two productions annually are presented by the drama students. These are preceded by long hours of practice because “practice makes perfect,” but in this case . . . Mrs. Sarah Breckenridge, Home Economics Mr. Wallace A. Huey, Choral Music Mr. Joe Johnston, Art Mr. Joe Price, Band Miss Marianne Rainey, Home Economics I Mrs. Breckenridge points out some important facts to a few of her students who wish to become better seamstresses. 26

LANGUAGE “Como esta—er—parlez-vous—er—Eng- lish?” This might be the outcome of a student’s taking both the languages offered at Jordan. Although this department does not teach one to “Talk to the Animals,” it does prepare him to speak and under- stand French and-or Spanish. Also included in the language courses are sporadic studies of the history and culture of the French and Spanish speak- ing peoples. By the end of the year the students are at least able to utter one catchy phrase “Adios—er—au revoir—er—goodbye.” Miss Linda Fussell, Spanish Mrs. Martha Larsen, French Miss Fussell and Mrs. Larsen help themselves to refreshments for the Christmas Tea given by Delta Tri-Hi-Y.
