Mr. Bachini Mr. Clark Miss Thomas This year the instrumental and vocal groups of the Music Department have been very active. These groups consist of the Marching band, Concert Band, Stage Band, Concert Choir, Chamber Singers and The Har- moneers. For a look at their activities, please see pages 62-65, 198-201, and 216-217. What does music mean to those involved? Perhaps these statements will lend some insight. ' Through a high school music program, students learn that they were given lungs for more than brea¬ thing and that being full of hot air isn ' t so bad! Listening to music is great, but making it is the best. Music is better than a sport because it will always be with you and you don ' t get hurt playing it! 20

Mr. Wilder Industrial Arts also shows an increase in female enroll¬ ment this year. As the different industries are becoming more equality minded toward hiring women, Industrial Art classes are looking more and more attractive to a greater number of female students than ever before. As Mr. Buduo, teacher of graphic arts stated this year, Industrial Arts is no longer a field for men, it is a field for persons. Because Industrial Arts is a progressive field, a comprehensive course in LA. cannot function properly without keeping up with the latest trends. Many of the department members are involved with programs, societies, memberships, and professional organizations that all help to upgrade their awareness of ongoing happenings in the field of industrial arts, practical arts, and fine arts.

Among the events sponsored were a feature-length French film, a Spanish Flamenco dance, a Mardi Gras party, and visits from foreign students. Each day in the cafe¬ teria a foreign dish was served as part of the fes¬ tivities. A number of field trips were arranged as part of the curriculum also. The French 41 class attended a performance of Phedre in Wellesley, given by a famous French company. The Spanish 31 and 41 classes attended an all-day program in Boston fea¬ turing intercultural events and a performance by Jose Greco, a famous Spanish dancer. Various classes also had the chance to indulge in some foreign dishes either in a restuarant, in school, or at a teacher ' s home. Among these were a German dinner at home of Mrs. Gelinas, and the Spanish 31 class at the Casa Mexico. 21
