Under the excellent leadership of Miss Boyle and the other music teachers, who help in sectional practices, the students have played concerts that have amazed even the professional artists who came to perform with them. Just as radio personalities spend hours in tedious practice to achieve their clear tones, so also do these students in their radio speech class. There, with microphone and tape recorder at their disposal, they record their voices, listen, and then correct their errors. Who knows—per- haps a big network announcer is in the making?

ART AND LITERATURE THIS ambitious art class, studying under the able direction of Miss Marion, will have learned all the basic principles of art and its ap- plication to modern living by the end of the year. They will also have enriched their cultural background through the study of the techniques used by various artists. Both the Freshman and Senior libraries are usually well-filled by industrious students through- out the day. They are supervised by Miss Rhodes, Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. Cullen, who see that the libraries are stocked with the best books, magazines and research material. Displays are planned to interest students in reading. make FRIENDS with BOOKS

The pupils in this picture seem to be en- joying their French course—here they are increasing their knowledge of the geographical points of interest in France. In all the foreign language classes the culture and history of the people, as well as their language, are studied. A newspaper is used as supple- mentary reading. Various foreign lan- guage clubs have been formed to give students a chance for both enjoyment and further study. Passing through the halls one can hear Latin, Spanish, Ger- man and French issuing from the rooms. A veritable Tower of Babel!
