Band We believe that a band has two distinct purposes. The first of these concerns the individual performer. He is given a sense of recreating beauty from the written music and a sense of cooperation which comes from working as a team. The second purpose concems the audience. Through training. listening to music greatly enriches a life. Consequently, we believe that our band is one of our school's finest assets. i Physical Education A human being is a dual being composed of mind and body. A sound mind in a frail body labors under a severe handicap. A happy life usuallv has as its foundation a healthy body. Unfortunately we are not bom with an instinct which makes us take the right steps toward good bodily health. These right steps must be leamed, and the ph sical education department. through play and study, helps a student leam to follow the neces- sary steps to build and maintain good physical health. Chorus Throughout the ages man has lifted his voicelin song to expgss his appiness, ove, grief. To ay there is yet the thrill of ,hearing one's voice blended with others in song. Aside from the personal sense of satisfaction in leaming and performing, the Flora chorus lends its talents to delight and inspire the entire listening aud- ience. The students participating in the chorus rogram are daily gaining knowledD e and experience that can enrich their entire lives.

Home Economics Each girl at Flora looks rather dimly into the indistinct future when she will run her own household. Home Economics attempts to make this indistinct future more distinct by erasing some of the mysteries involved in managing a budget, and the many things which fit together to make a home that will function smooth ly. Art Art is a natural means of ex- pressing personal experiences. in- terests, and conflicts. Recognizing that art fulfills a basic human need, the Art Department encourages all students to enroll for one or more art courses. Industrial Arts The country in which we live is becoming increasingly industrialized. No longer may ang nation ignore the development of its in ustrial resources or the training of citizens in the understanding of materials, processes, and products of industry. Every citizen needs to understand and become familiar with some of the basic industrial skills, without regard to the way in which he expects to earn a living. The schools of Columbia have recognized the need for all students to have an oppor- tunity to study the materials, processes, and products of industry as organized in industrial arts courses and to acquire work habits and social attitudes that can be effectively de- veloped in these courses. Industrial arts education affords an opportunity to leam and better understand the industrial world in which students must live. Three distinct types of activities are included in the art curriculum: the activity of self expression, the activity of observation. and the activity of appreciation. All of these increase the ability of the individual to live more happily because of art.
