The teachers in the Music Department not only train and present for public appearances the band and vocal groups but also teach individuals and class- es in the use of voice and the instrument. For ex- ample, Mrs. Relyea has voice classes on both junior and senior high levels and a junior glee club of pupils who just like to sing. In this way, a number of really good voices have been located. In the same manner, rhythm band work in the primary grades under Miss Barden and a song flute group of inter- mediate pupils prepare the way for regular band in- struments and membership in the Cadet Band. Dave Mancour and Nancy Sutliff sing a duet while the rest of the EUNICE RELYEA, A.B Vocal Music, Biology voice class warble in accompaniment. Jean Crawford, Lola Sawyer, Jane Hill, Charles Green, John Schoen- field and Harold Jones ready to improve their technique. 5 h X 7 ,xx A 7 '-'QS iv, ml VJ' Nu ARTHUR THORSBY Band, Orchestra

B. CLARK KING, A. B. Spanish, English Senior Sponsor Student Council Adviser May I have the pleasure of the next dance, favor de? That is the question you might hear if you ever walked into Mr. King's Spanish dancing class. You see, along with teaching the Spanish students that language, he is also endeavoring to teach them the rhumba, samba, and other mellow sacroiliac twisters. Spanish students learn the language mostly by the conversational method. Walk up to any one of them and listen to the best Quanta la gusta you have ever heard. In reading, the Spanish students advanced as far as reading Spanish novels, Don Quixote, being the favorite. Oli, my aching sacroiliac, bemoans Mr. King's Spanish rhumba class. i E BERNICE BERDAN, B. Ed., M.A Latin, journalism Senior Sponsor ECHO and Bobcat Banner Adviser The Latin classes are not as dead as the language implies. Of course Latin I has to cover some grammar and vocabulary, and Latin II may review it a little, but the ex- citing stories that go along with this are fun. There are a series of stories about two boys of high school age who lived in Rome. Then the tales of the Argonauts proved to be in- teresting. The highlight of Latin II is Caesar and the details of his battles. What a hero! But it does not matter if it is hasta la vista or vale. Languages are fun! 20

ANNE FLORIANO, B. S. Home Economics F.H.A. Adviser Eighth Grade Sponsor BURNESS CANDOO. Home Economics F.H.A. Sponsor B. S. Wame Z ' Homcmaking I is a study of the simple things in homemaking. During the first semester the girls learn to plan and prepare a simple break- fast and luncheon and study the different meth- ods of food preservation. First Aid, one of the most beneficial units in this course, teaches the girls the proper procedure to take in an emer- gency and what to do if a person is badly burned or injured. The second semester deals with grooming, manners, and sewing on cotton. Food and meal planning continues in Home- making II with informal and semi-formal din- ners the principal topic. A unit is devoted to flower arrangement with some lovely displays being made by the girls. Another unit on home nursing gives the girls practical experience in this field. A study of textiles and the making of an article from wool complete their study on clothing. Homemaking III is available to those who wish to continue their study of family relations, grooming, manners, and advanced sewing dur- ing the first semester, and interior decorating in the second semester. The situation with the girls in homemaking class is just sew, sew, and more sewing. 22
