Boys at Clinton learn a definite phase of general education based on manipu- lative activity and study of industrial materials, tools, and industrial life with emphasis placed upon exploration and participation rather than upon skill and efficiency. This course offered those learning experiences which as- sisted boys in understanding the indus- trial and technical aspects of life today.

Music Students And Teacher Work In Harmony Band members spend many long hours practicing arrangements to harmonize quality and tone. The Music Department is divided in- to sections, choral and instrumental, both under the direction of Mr. Wood- ward. The Marching Wildcats, with about 8 0 members, motivated the crowd to greater enthusiasm with their preci- sion drills and exacting formations. It's a big change from marching down the football field on a cold night to sit- ting seriously playing concert music for assemblies, but for the Clinton High School band it was a usual occurance. The Art Department promoted under- standing of line, shape, and color. Judgement and discrimination, which apply to future decisions, developed in the art class. Art students make still life paintings as one phase of their varied art work. Other proiects include working with chalk, charcoal, and ink. 30
