i SINGING, AN INSPIRATION .... is tne motto of our chorus as they meet each day in the Little Theater to improve their vocal skill. In Beginning Chorus such things as pitch, singing in syllables, and recognizing key signatures are taught. As a student advances, he graduates to the Glee Club, which serves community organizations and the school with entertainment. LITTLE BOY BLUE................... .....come blow your horn is the cry in the band room each day. In our music department group classes are held each period of every day for the purpose of teaching the fundamentals of the instruments and music. Also the advanced students have a chance for improvement and development. Page Sixteen

DIM DEM LIGHTS................... ......boys! In farm mechanics where all the welding and other activities are taking place, the primary pur- pose of the course is to give the students enough general knowledge of farm shop methods to enable them to es- tablish their own shops. Many of the projects done here at school by the boys consist of repairing equipment they bring from home. This year the woodworking division of the shop classes has a new teacher. Mr. Bernie Lance from Olney. He and Mr. Kenneth Poole teach the industrial arts courses which include training in woodworking, metal work, electricial wiring, repairing of equipment, and carpentry work. By the time school begins this fall it is hoped that a new building for farm mechanics will be ready for occupancy. Page Fifteen

SHOO FLY PIE AND AN APPLE PAN DOWDY......................................... ......isn't exactly the theme song of the cafeteria, but on pie day it almost could be. especially around ten- thirty. when our stomachs are screaming for anything but knowledge. Because of the hour long lunch period approximately five hundred students have time for a leisurely meal, prepared in a modern, adequately equipped kitchen by our head dietician, Mrs. Ava Newman; assisted by Mrs. Virginia Pechar. Mrs. Mae Pry. Mrs. Minnie Bass, and Mrs. Hazel Chapman. There are also twenty-two students who find employment in the cafeteria. Besides the meals served at noon the cafeteria also prepares those for extra curricula functions, such as the football banquet and the Mother-Daughter banquet. Several dances and parties are held in the cafeteria throughout the year by the school organizations. Page Seventeen
