Skill, creativity accented Music, art, and physical eduction allowed students to express themselves creatively. In junior high school students learned to play a musical instru- ment. In high school they joined the band and orchestra. These organizations entertained at school assemblies and appeared in public concerts. Pupils with artistic ability spent two periods a day with charcoal, water colors, casein paint, papier-mache, and oils. Their products appeared regularly on bulletin boards and were exhibited formally at the art show in the spring. With President Kennedy's emphasis on physical fitness, members of varsity teams worked harder than ever and those in physical education classes exercised regularly, developed special physical skills, and enjoyed the spirit of competition.

Vocational students excel Students who have talent for craftsmanship and enjoy working with their hands and minds found that home economics, industrial arts, and business courses prepared them for trade schools, business occupations, and homemaking. To help promote interest in homemaking, a new award was given in the home economics department. The girl judged to have the best attitude, interest, and ability received atrophy. Boys in the industrial arts classes worked on such projects as making lamps, tables, tool boxes, and cedar chests. Pupils whose work was outstanding were given an opportunity to display their skills at the Huron County Fair. Otlice practice students received practical experience and bene- licial training day by day in processing and keeping the financial record of the school's activities. 14

Accent on . .in student life The energy of youth ex- plodes in action around school. Student life is typified in spontaneous activities: im- promptu ball games, a con- versation beside a locker, a forbidden candy bar nibbled in noon study hall, the ioy- ous roar of devoted fans when their team appears, the loyal feeling that pre- vails through the alma ma- ter, the parting touch of a steady couple before the bell. 16
