Mr. Davis taught his students the art of acting, as well as the basic rules of making up actors and actresses for their roles. Mr. Mortimer returned for his second year at Argentine to teach speech and debate. One hour each day during the year was devoted to building a fine debate team. Vocal music was taught by Mr. Olson while Mr. Sherbon taught instrumental music. Much time and effort were put forth by these men to produce many entertaining musicals and dramas during the year.
