Music and Art Art for Art ' s Sake If anyone is artistically or musically inclined, he is given a chance to develop his talents while still in school. Art I is the first step in the art field. It is created to introduce the beginner and make him feel at home with the materials. Advanced art educates the student in special- izing in any field that may interest him. Band teaches students to play musical instru- ments; and also teaches co-ordination, and some of the finer qualities of music. The public appear- ances of the band makes it an important part of our school. Chorus is wonderful for those students who enjoy singing. While they are developing their vocal talents, they are also beginning to develop poise and self-confidence by appearing before the public in various programs and concerts.

Emphatic gestures are practiced in Mr. Stackhouse ' s speech class, the scene of oratory, debate, quips, and short addresses. Thomas Baldwin and Lorraine Tarlton, Latin I Students, and Susan Smith and Diane Miller, Latin II students, represented Garrett in the Regional Latin contest. English and Foreign Languages Quoth the student . . . Nevermore A mother-daughter combination of languages now offered in Garrett has combined the age old Latin with its modern counterpart, Spanish. Any student availing himself of the opportunity to study either or both of these languages will have a better understanding of the English vocabulary and its usage. The knowledge of a foreign langu- age will prove beneficial to businessman and world travelers and will improve international understanding. Through speech, journalism, literature, and grammar classes, the student learns to analyze carefully, to speak correctly, to think intelligent- ly, to read appreciatively, and to write coherent- ly. Such classes help open the door by which the student gains the knowledge necessary to prepare for a career, to better know himself and others, and to formulate his opinions and ideas. Members of the senior literature class discuss literary works as was once done in English Coffee Houses. 26
