Mrs Miltenberger Spring Valley explains to Betty Buagioni the importance of the arts THE ARTS Mrs Miltenberger says I thtnk that boys and girls who become interested in the arts while they are in high school will have the incentive that leads to the appreciation and under standing of the finer things in lite Their interests may cover music drama art literature and foreign languages In recent years, schools are stressing the value of the arts, Hall is no exception, for the arts have become an important part of the curriculum. Our boys and girls have unlimited opportunities for cultural training in many areas of the arts, and many have had out- standing success. The inevitable thrill of accomplishment benefits not only the student, but the community as a whole. We say: We study literatureg we acquire poise in speaking and acting, we write in English classes and on the publications, we study French and Latin, we sing, play, and hear good music, and we gradually learn to know what is best. -if: Page nineteen
