Miss Bostick commends students on their excellent bulletin board. Bonjour, monsieur! Comment allez-vous? II fait beau aujourd'hui! This is a small part of the working vocabulary sessions which aid the French student in perfecting his enunciation. Practice in grammar is provided by daily written assignments. Students also study the literature and customs of the French people. In addition, several French short stories are read by second year students in order to become more familiar with the French literary style of writing. Tape recordings of native French speakers facilitate better comprehension and pronunciation. MISS HELEN BOSTICK French Biology

A UNIVERSAL NOTE . . . MUSIC MRS. MARGARET CASS Chorus From reading ancient Greek literature, we find that the Greek hero Orpheus charmed whole forests with the beautiful music of his lyre. Today we find that story rather incredi- ble, but we do believe that the universal art of music affords worthwhile entertainment for the appreciative listener. Students of our high school who want to produce music for the faculty and fellow students of their school and for other members of the community join the high school band or chorus. Asheboro High School's chorale performs under a new director this year, Mrs. Margaret Cass. This group of fifty-eight singers presents concerts to the public as well as to the school. Each spring the group competes in the district contest held in Greensboro. It can certainly be said that the members of the chorale earn their unit of credit by long hours of instruction and practice and excellent performances. Asheboro High School students are also proud of their superior-rated band. During football season the musicians display accurate precision marching and entertaining half-time shows. Later in the year, the band presents Christmas and spring concerts and represents the school well at the State Band Contest. Last summer they were recognized at the annual Sun Fun Festival as an outstanding high school band. Chorale and band members derive great satisfaction from serving their school. They also increase their skills from taking the two courses offered by the music department. The Chorus goes through dress rehearsal before the Christmas Concert.
