... At The Classroom The trials of man have ranged from witch trials, to Scopes Monkey trials, through the Nuremberg trials, to the Chicago Seven. But never have they overshadowed the universally inherited trials of young people attempting to select a goal on the basis of a dozen years learning. Open-minded instructors and a progressive curriculum offered students an intellectual assist. Modern education stressed today and doing, instead of yesterday and watching. Receiving extensive help from a cooperative teacher, concentrating to achieve a lesson of substance and inspiration, learning by active participation and taking classroom routine into the outdoors; all these typified academic activity in 1972.

M USIC E D UCA TION Packed Program Vocal director, Mrs. Nancy Rosenbalm carried a full schedule coaching all three musical groups which included choir, girls’ glee and Dragonaires. Seventy two basses, tenors, altos and sopranos blended their voices to make up the ’72 Dallas High Choir. Girls’ Glee, consisting mainly of sophomore girls training for choir, had several recitals including the sing at the Capital Manor. “Sunny,” “Alleluia” and selections from “South Pacific” were some of the popular songs sung in girls’ glee. The eleven members of Dragonaires entertained at various community programs including Jaycee’s, Eastern Star, Kiwanis and Christmas caroling at the town’s nursing homes. Besides vocal training, Mrs. Rosenbalm also taught a semester course “Music and Man” consisting of fifteen students each semester. Class members studied various types of music including rock and avant garde, which is music in sounds. Approximately thirty students learned how to play the guitar and topped off their half-year studies by writing original beats. Besides the Fall and Winter concerts; the Commencement and Spring Performance, the music-department took part in the Spring musical “Brigadoon” and to end an active year traveled to a choral league festival workshop at Newberg in April. 16 Strains of Oliver” taken from the popular current movie fill the DHS gym at the November 22 concert.
