Music Help To Break International Barriers Jim Valentine, John Vodenik, and Ron Huber compose and prac- tice their version of a trio during band class when they have the free time. Sandy Christoff, Rosie Frank - hauser, Gloria Webster, and Marie Poremski gather a- round the piano to practice for the up-and-coming nine week exam and are accom- panied by Mary Zaharie. Students of Calumet High School have a fine opportunity to further their artistic qualities in art and music classes. Beginning crafts, the use of construction pa- per, and working with plaster and clay are just a few of the activities offered in art. A specialized study in on phase is offered during the fourth year where an interested student can prepare himself for the college life ahead. In addition, all students may enter the annual contest sponsored by H. Gor- don and Sons and The Gary Post Tribune, which requires a commercial art drawing of any garment in the store. Classes in music, band and chorus, are divided into groups for purposes of practicing to make per- fect. This is evidenced by the presentation of music and precision marching, and has thus become closely involved in the extra-curricular activities. James Sechrest is getting ready for the Christmas season by using the method of block pressing to create a reproduction of bells.

Language, Art, And “Travel” is the keyword nowadays for many students in the U.S., even though it may not be literally. The language classes of Calumet High School give our students an excellent chance to prepare themselves. French, Spanish and Latin are each taught for two years giving the individual a brief insight of the colorful background of the countries where it is spoken, its origin, and an opportunity to learn how to speak and write it. Also, a student taking a foreign language may join the club sponsored by each. They are: Sodili- tas Porvorum Caesaris for Latin, Pan Am for Span- ish, and Le Cercle Francais for French Club. Taking a trip via the poster route through ancient Spain, are Bill Woods and Tom Wil- son, students in Spanish I. Putting practices on the board is nothing new for French students, but the question that is foremost in the mind of Doris Ohm, Joanne Kelley, and Tom Toth is “Why did it have to be me?”
