Under the Music Department the a Cappella Choir, directed by Mrs. Marjorie Eischen, brought several honors to Torrance High as the result of its singing on various occasions during the year. At least one day each week is spent in the Library by the Latin Classes, during which time the students read on Roman history and customs. The Spanish Classes spend their time in the Library reading on Spanish customs and Spanish authors. The teachers in this Department are Mrs. Eischen, Music, Mrs. Morse, Latin, Miss Behr, Librarian, Miss Chase, Art, Mr. Donahue, Boys' Physical Edu- cation, Mrs. Bent, Girls' Physical Education, and Mrs. Boynton, Spanish, and Chairman of this De- partment.
