ENGLISH from textbaoks to tape recorders From text books to tape recorders could well describe the advances made by the English department. Text books, of course, are still the main source of instruction, but speech teachers have found that recording machines prove very useful. The number of English teachers has increased from 3 in 1912 to 13 this year. All students are required to take four years of English, however, there are elective courses in the iunior and senior years. Enunciate Clearly-Members of the speech class, Trudy Sponholtz, John Frunzar, and Cherri Rees, record their voices on the tape recorder under Mr. Hollenbe-clc's supervision. Reading, 'Riting-Donald DeCelles, a member of Mr. Schaub's English ll class, recites his regular oral talk before members of his class. ENGLISH Ralph E.

ART for artists- to-be Through the media of oil, clay, and ceramics, the art department has helped many students to be- come more creative, this has been apparent in decorations in the halls and in the displays in the show- cases. Our library was modeled from an English university library which O. V. Walters, former principal of East High, saw while touring Britain. It houses approximately I2,000 books and can accommodate I50 students during one study period. MUSIC for music minded The band organization with IIO students, the orchestra with 60, and the choir, glees, and chorus with nearly 450 have rendered extensive service to the school. Photography, a one-semester course, is a popular senior elective. ART Dortha Pooley Crafts, Art, Stage Sets Stuart J. Sewell Art, Advanced Art LIBRARY Marian Lee Thompson Assistant Librarian Etha L.
