Many students come to view handiwork ol' others. Some commeltl. hut lew realize how much work is involved in making and arranging these dis- plays, Work Long. llow many stuf dents know that it took art stuf dents many long hours to construct the doll or manikin heads that apf peared in the early part of the year? Students' lovely work in windows, on landings. and some ol' the teachers' rooms at Christmas time was noticed by students and faculty alike. and drew many complif mentary bouquets. At semesters end, the art classes decorated the show cases between the building again.

No, it isnt l,atin or the name oi' a new sororf ity. It comes from the throats of music students warming up for a lusty song, Singing only melodies to songs has gone with the wind, and today harmony is essential even in ,junior high music classes. Branch Out. Music today is not only singing. but has branchf ed out so that these students must know all members of the string, brass, percussion, and woodwind families. They also learn the names of great musicians and some- thing about their personal lives and accomplishments. Classical phonograph records are used in class to acquaint stu- dents with classics of today and yesterday. Mixed chorus is the goal ol' these -junior high musicians. lN'lil5lilifi lil-lb Slllil' l :X litili ,lpplxed ur! L'.XhI-171-I.
