Arts Better Us The highest peak of excellence was reached by the North High music, art, and drama departments during the past year.

George Bernard Shaw ' s well-known play, Pygmalion, was presented by Mr. James Harvey. The high- light of the year for Mr. Kenneth Pauli, speech instructor, was the coaching of entries in the State Oratorical and Rotary Speech Contests. Mrs. Ardith Shelley with her A Cappella Choir; the Mustang Band, under the baton of Mr. Lynn W. Fitzgerald; and Mr. Charles Coul- ter, his orchestra, and Girls ' Glee Club followed this same pattern also. Living up to the high standards that the art department has always maintained.

Language Broadens Knowledge The North High foreign language depart- ment is one of the premier promoters of understanding our world neighbors. While studying a foreign language, the students acquire priceless information about the his- tory and customs of the people. This depart- ment has done everything possible to make the course pleasant as well as enlightening. Efforts have been made to provide mater- ial, other than the textbook, that will show students the way of life of the other peoples. During Brotherhood Week the foreign language department had an exhibition of products from foreign countries. To better an understanding of our Mexican neighbors.
