The teachers who are members of this department never tire of listening to our problems, whether large or small. They oller advice when we choose our subjects, they help us to find jobs, they help us to choose a college. In addition, they find time during the course of a year to interview each individual student. Every student is in some way indebted to the Guidance Department. K. Homon and Miss Whipple discuss the principles of good student council management. Mr. Harrison checks over a student's college application

Most students are familiar with our Language Depart- ment which oflers courses in French, German, Spanish, and Latin, In addition to teaching grammar, this depart- ment aims to give the student an understanding of the customs, people, and music of the country where the language is or was spoken. Many times the teacher will take a few minutes out to teach the class a song - a pleas- ing break in the day. The teachers of the Language Depart- ment are a group BHS students truly like and appreciate. Bertha Przygocki and Celia Hichwa post a notice of the next Spanish Club meeting in Spanish class.

Art Our Art Department offers courses both in art appreciation and courses which guide students in the use of their artistic talents. A surprisingly large number of students have taken art at one time or another. They all have derived considerable enjoyment from it, and they also have created some very original pieces. Our students are guided by a cheerful, well-liked teacher in their artistic endeavors. 5,5 Music Our fine Music Department, offering courses which aim to instill an appreciation and understanding of music, is used to the fullest advantage by many students. Most of our music students are quite active in the orchestra, band, or choral groups. The two music courses, together with the activities which develop musical talent, offer our stu- dents a well-rounded program under the guidance of wonderful teachers.
