'w PG 15 S nfl R' NE 2 'VIrs Cam leads song just for the fun of it LET THERE BE SONG . . . let the strains of an exciting concerto fill the air while we relax and gradually forget our everyday troubles and problems. A world without music would be a dull place indeed! There would be no songs to sing, no dances to dance, and life would be dull and tiresome. to say the least! Who has never experienced a feeling of delight upon hearing a symphony, an overture. or a popular tune of today? In our own music classes, conducted by Mrs. Cain, we learn to appreciate and enjoy to the fullest this wonderful medium of expression. By records, we can hear command per- formances of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra or attend the opening of a smash Broadway musical. We get a taste of both classical composers and modern. We savor the delicate rythms of the down-to-earth simplicity of our own American folktunes. Group singing, too, is an important course in our musical menu. Mrs. Cain can enlist likely pros- pects into the Chorus or the band. In our music classes we jump from Beethoven to Bop, and we deal with both extremes. But it makes no difference whether your tastes are highbrow or lowbrow-you can still enjoy good music, you can still sing just for the fun of it. MRS RITA CAIY uf' 1:4590 lil-15-7'

A SOUND BODY . . . a sound mind!-an ancient maxim that still applies today. If we miss the benefits of good health. we miss much more than we realize-good times. participation in sports. and a cheerful outlook on life. We look forward to the Gym class as a welcome break in the day- here we enioy ourselves. we relax our minds and exercise our bodies. The gym classes handled by each Bear and Miss Osterhoudt offer seasonal sports. such as basketball. baseball. soccer and football. The Sports Club. one of the most popular clubs in school. allows the student to persue sports not included in the standard physical education pro- gram, such as skiing, swimming. bowling and skating. Sports constitute an important phase of our high school days-they strengthen our character by self-discipline. and they develop a proper sportsman like attitude that will carry into our social life, as well. A sense of fairplay and co-operation-necessary materials for a well-round- ed personality. A welcome break in our dailv routine . .
