Modern devices such as the use of the tape re- corder and vocabulary games aided the foreign language teachers, under the guidance of Chair- man Robert Yerby, in making the process of lea-rning a new language as painless as pos- sible. By stressing the conversational phase of modern languages and reading the ancient clas- sic works in the original, the department en- abled students to gain an insight and appre- ciation ol the countries investigated. A field trip to the County Museum, Language Day at Occidental College, the Posada celebration- all furnished the students with keener first-hand knowledge of French, Spanish, and Latin. MRS.

Wielding the baton, Mr. Lewis Forney, chairman of the Music Department, helped elementary and Warrior band members master the complexities of playing the brass and percussion instruments as well as the wood winds. Boys and girls in five glee clubs, ably directed by Mr. Robert Gurnee, also practiced long hours to achieve perfection in singing all types of musical numbers. To familiarize students with all phases of art was the principal aim of the Art Department, instructed by Mr. William Fontenrose, chairman. Student artists developed their talents with a sound foundation in pure and com- mercial art and drafting by doing poster work, design- ing, silk screening, and cartooning. rnpus att ' , OHS ' t f ll l b d o er bl e rints for architectural desi mn Boys in Draf ing care u y a ore v u p g g. ,et -'m :It x SM : tt X 25
