The student learns about the four characteristics of music which are pitch, duration, intensity, and timbre. Mr. Bishop tries to coordinate the book learning processes with ear training which is vital to anyone who intends to have a future in music. For an example of this technique, the student would be given a certain pitch and he is then re- quired to identify it by just listening to it.

The class meets only three times a week, with the remaining two days serving as tutor- ial periods in which help may be ob- tained from the instructor.

Our teachers will K ft f be long remembered as playing a big l part in this growth. They have con- tributed greatly to our outlook on life by shaping our personalities. The Faculty at Corcoran is encouraging by giving helpful advice and strong sup- port in our clubs and organizations. A great percentage of the teachers are willing to devote their free periods in addition to after-school time to help their students obtain a more confident attitude in their studies or personal lives. As we leave Corcoran, now is the time to use this knowledge, which we have accumulated over the years, in planning our lives. One day, in the r future, we will look back and thank all Diligently daydreaming, English teacher, Mr. Kirnie, is surprised to see that he has a student in his class. Gao FA lr
