Special music, and enlarges our capacity for pleas- ure in it. i With Nancy Stevens presiding in the senior club and jane Gates, in the jU11i01', our Music Appreciation Club reaches out to all types of music. Mrs. Thomson assists us in comparing themes and techniques of composers, interpreting modern impres- sionistic musicg learning the history of operas and other compositions, and even in finding hidden classical melodies in rock- and-roll. In addition to the pure joy that we receive in musical experiences, we have learned an important actuality-that music is univer- sal, whatever race, nationality, religion, or rank, everyone loves a well-written piece of music. As Mrs, Thomson instructs, members of the Sixth Grade eagerly watch Lisette Hays' attempt to play the autoharp,

Sometimes we sing just for our own enjoyment, but more often we are preparing for one of our public appear- ances. At Thanksgiving we joined the Jun- iors in their choral drama. We look forward all year to the Christmas sing, when with our parents and friends we celebrate with selections that have become a part of the Christmas tradition. The minstrel, co-pro- duced with the Dramatics Club, tevives many best-loved spirituals and folk songs. Often, just listening to a fine symphony or aria increases our appreciation of good Members of the Senior Music Appreciation Club 4- Patty Towle, Nancy Stevens, 26 and Becky Dunn - listen to L'apres-Midi d'un Faunen by Debussy.

P.E. I Shoulders up! Stretch, two, three, four! Pause, two, three, four! These are the fa- miliar sounds that rise between the groans of calisthenic warm-ups at each physical education class. Malevolent thoughts of exams, grades, term papers, demerits, and boys are forced away from us with every exercise. Thoughts of school spirit, games, and fun replace them. After a thorough' tune-up we are ready to put all our energies into basketball, baseball, or volleyball. XVe keep in form for the rigorous competition of intramurals and tournaments with other schools, where our teams display friendli- ness, skill, and good sportsmanship. The faculty-student basketball game showed everyone who really has the upper hand in our school. Even with the referees ringing goals for them, with their team playing on the wrong side of the court, and clutching student players by the seats of' their pants, the teachers did not have a chance! The long-awaited Blue-jean Day brought contests, relays, trophies, and picnics. ' gg , ,HQ Wllyaf ,M Q ,, .t.?li,f as so A ta s .
