 zA uLia SHADOWS Students learn not to jump at the un- earthly shrieks that come to them from the auditorium, for they are only the efforts of the beginners' band learning the intricacies of music and its appre- ciation. Instructor Emmet Anderson tears his hair and lives only for the day when his charges can graduate to the class of intermediate or symphonic bands. Andy , as he is known to his students, also watches over the orches- tra, A Capella choir, string quartet, woodwind quintet, and the twirling corp. In answer to a crying need, this year Andy organized the school dance orchestra to play at high school dances. Photography is Mr. Ander- son's hobby. MISS KATHRYNE EORG MR. EMMET ANDERSON Teacher of chorus and sophomore English is Miss Kathryne Borg. Although teaching two periods of each subject her time is taken up mainly by her chorus work. Besides her regular classes she sponsors most of the vocal groups of the school. These are known to students through the music concerts but primarily through the operetta which is put on each year. Miss Borg also has charge of the music for the Christmas cantata.

MISS MARY V. HARRIS Dramatics instructor of M. H. S. is Miss Mary V. Harris. Aside from her elementary and advanced dramatics she trains students in public speaking. Other activities of Miss Harris include the sponsorship of the Thespians and the direction of all dramatic produc- tions. This year as usual the dramatics department presented a fall production, a night of one acts, and a Christmas cantata in conjunction with the music department. In addition, a faculty play T. G. AND DOT EMOTE was presented under Miss Harris's di- rection. This year for the first time the department entered the drama festival which replaces the Interscholastic Little Theater Tournament. One of the most popular courses in school is art, taught by Mr. C. B. Bar- tholomew, or Bart , as he is known to one and all. We don't try to develop artists here, only to develop an appre- ciation of good art, explains Mr. Bart. 'The stress in this school is laid on the individual student and his tastes rather than on the work of the class as a whole. Reading and fishing occupy Bart's time out of school when he is not enjoying a busman's holiday by work- ing with his art. His pet peeve is the lack of proper facilities for art students in school.

COACH EDDIE CHINSKE !Bolj± c fihfizHa Head man of the boys' athletics of M. H. S. is Mr. Edward Chinske. Out- side of coaching basketball and foot- ball he teaches boys' physical educa- tion classes. In the freshman year of these classes the boys are drilled in stunts on the parallel bars and in calis- thenics. These are in the line of body building and the boys benefit greatly from them. In the second year Mr. Chinske gives the boys a chance to play games such as basketball, vol- leyball, baseball, and soccer. Al- though the Spartans have not won any championships for Mr. Chinske while he has been here, under his supervi- sion they have come very close to it. The latest of blows to Mr. Chinske came in this basketball season when his team was nosed out of the conference championship by the Great Falls Bisons and then vanquished in the Northern Division tournament finals by the Havre Blue Ponies. However, the handsome statuette awarded for second place pro- vided some consolation to the aspiring Spartans. About the basketball team he remarked, They did better than I expected. He is also optimistic about next year's football team. Because girls talk too much his sympathies lie entirely with the stronger sex, the mem- bers of which are the subjects of some of his longer speeches.
