Designed to enlarge student appreciation of music and to afford opportunities to participate in musical qroups, the MUSIC DEPARTMENT offered theoretical courses besides vocal and instrumental instruction. Three teachers, including one who was new to the department, helped to carry out a program which was beneficial both to the students who had an interest in music and to the residents of the community. The crowning point of the year for botn students in the orchestra and choral groups and their advisors was the joint operetta in the spring.

The aims of first year art were to introduce students to different kinds of art. to develop art appreciation through different techniques. and to give a creative approach. Second, third and fourth year art developed and presented different problems utilizing techniques learned in first year art. The department's course in ceramics was lengthened this year to a full year's course because of new equipment available. About every six weeks the FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT met to discuss teaching problems and to examine new teaching methods. Due to an increased enrollment in Latin, a teacher was added to the department, makinq a total of seven—two Latin, two French and three Spanish. Three years of instruction were offered in each languaqe. Thorough training in the fundamentals of readinq. writing, and speaking, basic to advanced studv in linquistics. was provided in each of the classes. By also studying the literature of foreign countries, students were helped to gain an appreciation and understanding of foreign peoples and to prepare for many college majors.

OifolML There was no end, this year, to the work of the CUSTODIANS. Their job was not confined to the maintenance of buildings on campus, but included care of the athletic fields and of the school farm. Among their number were not only men at work in buildings, but gardeners, watchmen, repairmen and truck drivers. In spite of the removal of the Junior College, there was more work for the custodians, as Ludden Hall and portions of the north wing of Warren Hall opened. Gardeners, too, had added responsibilities with the new additions to the school landscape. The men who worked hard on our buses, but who wore never around to take credit for it. were the MAINTENANCE CREW. It was their job to keep transportation for the entire district in good order. The crew comprised eleven maintenance men under the supervision of one foreman. In their working groups were two main mechanics, others who greased the buses, took care of the lights and painting, washed and cleaned the buses and changed and recapped the tires.
