MUSIC EDUCATION FOLLOWS SEQUENTIAL PATTERN Appreciation, knowledge, entertainment and pleasure are the products of the music department. Vocal and instrumental music is taught along with theory and listening for better understanding and appreciation. Instruction follows a sequential developmental pattern. Students who have the ability and interests are privileged to join the bands and choirs which are well known in the regional area for their concerts and pub- lic appearances in the local parades and at football games. Cultural needs After a long day of filing books, signing them out to students, and keeping the King Philip library in excellent order, Mrs. Winona LoGrasso is still smiling. ART: AN OUTLET FOR CREATIVE EXPRESSION Students who are creative and talented find an out- let for this artistic expression in all of the art media in King Philip's art department. The students work in oils, water colors, pen and ink, and ceramics. Talent is fostered and developed. Instruction is geared to two levels: one to the art major and one to the hobbyist.

LIBRARY MEETS NEEDS OF EDUCATION Today's instruction which is both diversified and in depth necessitates a school library. Such study re- quires current reference material, encyclopedias, peri- odicals, works of fiction and non-fiction, and the helpful cooperation of a trained librarian. The King Philip library provides both the material and the competent services of the librarian, Mrs. Winona LoGrasso. Two of the most talented people at King Philip are Mr. Carleton Nickerson, director of the art program, and Miss Barbara Bracey. l .
