Fine Arts Provide Endeavouring to bring culture to the students were the fine arts and music departments. Diligently working to please the audiences of the chorus concerts, the art classes were responsible for the stage setting while choruses provided enjoyment. The band spent many evenings at football and basketball games to bring entertainment to the enthu- siastic crowds and lead them in the singing of our school songs. They also presented lively programs for the public and the student body. This year, the orchestra was under the direction of a new conductor, Mr. Winton lVlelby. The organization presented programs for the public and assisted the choruses in the annual vocal Christmas concert. Fifty outstanding voices were selected from the A Chorus to form the Madrigal singers. They made more than 15 appearances before church and civic organ- izations during the Christmas season. Rochester was the site of the annual Big Nine Music Festival. This event climaxed the hard work of all chorus, orchestra and band members.

athematics Maintains To increase knowledge, speed and skill were the main objectives of the mathematics courses taken by students in senior high school. The courses taken were necessary for the success in scholarship, intelli- gence, college entrance and other aptitude tests which require quantitative thinking. Sophomores found themselves adding to their apti- tude in algebra in which letters and other signs are used as well as numbers to solve problems. Many also found themselves in a plane geometry class where they acquired reasoning ability, factual knowledge and an inter-related pattern of thought. Juniors wishing to continue their mathematical ability and prepare for future courses took advanced algebra, a continuation of elementary algebra. Senior arithmetic, a general review of mathematics, involved computing income tax through the practical application of mathematics. Many seniors contemplat- ing a college education in science and engineering advanced to trigonometry and analytical geometry. ur od ern World Marvin Glesnc Advanced Algebra Senior Arithmetic Audio-Visual Elaine Nelson Advanced Algebra Byron Spear Analytical Geometry Geometry Trigonometry National Honor Society Maurice Thompson Geometry X Advanced Algebra PLL MEASURE THE SHADOWX' said Judi Engbritson as Morris Evenson measured the tree to check for accuracy.

CORRECT PRONUNCIATION was Betty Tolo's goal as she read in German for Larry Fredrickson and Martha Wayne. N' 'Si LISEZ LES PLAISANTERIESQ' suggested JoAnne Kennelly while Myrna Nelson looked over the Paris Match. Basic Education and Experience in ulture German joined French, Latin and Spanish in Albert Lea Senior High School's language curriculum. Taught by Mr. Luverne Ahrndt, first year German concentrated on grammar and sentence construction, conversation was emphasized the next year. Latin students devoted first year studies to basic grammar and vocabulary. During the second year, Mr. Jerome Narveson's students studied Julius Caesar by reading accounts of his travels. Aided by mimeographed vocabulary and dialogue sheets, Miss Ruth Bauer's first and second year French classes learned the fundamentals of the language and a little of the character of the French people and culture. The tape recorder and phonograph were put to use in Miss Bauer's Spanish classes. Speaking the language in class added to the students' understanding of verb conjugations and sentence formations. Looking to the future, a language laboratory, which will contain tape recording and monitoring facilities to augment teaching techniques, and a third year of Ger- man studies are in prospect for the department. xv ggi .1 W r .
