Music Music I is the answer to the question, “How did this ever get started?” Students trace the history of music as well as its relation to art and learn of the lives of past composers. The course is “general and non-technical,” and enjoyable even if you are not musically inclined. To all qualified students, BHS offers a more inten- sive course — ear training, music theory, and elemen- tary harmony . . . “You mean we have to write an original piece?” Even now the clarinet section is dreading that their part will again be in the violin’s range, and all ponder the first wavering strains of the “Mr. Tower March”.

Vocational Mr. John J. Corrigan Vocational Interim Part-time Director; Metal Fabrication; Key Club Mr. Carlton L. Seaman Machine Shop; Track The excellent facilities of the Belmont Vocational- Technical High School allow the student an opportu- nity to learn skills for the attainment of gainful em- ployment. Towards this end the student is taTight to manipulate all types of tools and machines — and in the process he comes to value the importance of preci- sion and the art of craftsmanship. This growing aware- ness should lead to an appreciation of his own worth and to an understanding of his human dignity and approaching manhood. This development instills in the student an attitude of responsibility which will permit him to become a useful member of adult society as well as a successful and reliable craftsman. 28
