Separate classes of music theory and sight reading teach be- ginners the basic fundamentals of music. Advanced students are in performing groups where they put their knowledge of funda- mentals to use. There are four musical groups-the CHORALEERS, a mixed group of eighty voicesg a GIRLS' GLEE CLUBg the FOUR DEUCES, a male quartetg and the SIX- TEENS, a group of six girls. Students who are interested in instru- mental music may enroll in band. This musical unit is presently made up of forty- two members who meet each day for group and individual instruction. Another period is devoted to giving special help to the clari- net section. Proper care and repair of instru- ments is also taught. A summer band clinic, conducted by Mr. Miller, attracts many stu- dents who wish to improve their perform- ance. wQ '5-X3 CHAS. W. MILLER RAYMOND THIGPEN Director of Bands Director of Choruses B.

Third year Latin, offered for the first time this year, delves further into Roman life with the study of gov- ernment, politics, prose of Livy, Sallust, and Plinyg and orations and letters of Cicero. Fre- quent discussions on Roman life with posters to illustrate, and special reports supplement the text material. In a two-year Spanish course, the study of grammar is the primary concern. Correct pro- nunciation is mastered by listening to record- ings, staging mock television programs, and question-answer sessions-all in Spanish. Spanish customs and music are studied as an integral part of this course. , -Ib it 'L', X li VIVIEN AUSBAND SARA BIVINS Spanish Latin A. B., Coker A.
