S's musical organization reciate our talented staff of teachers. OPP They weave music into our hearts and minds bringing a rich experience both to the perform- ers and the listeners. As a result of their untir- ing efforts, there is achieved a sense of unity in a potpourri of personalities. This unity of personalities was extended this year to include l f other departments of the school. The resut o this was the Festival of Arts prog ram presented in March. Dramatics RAMATICS offers, to those students who par- ticipate, an opportunity to develop their creative abilities while developing group spirit, which is so necessary for a good production. A never-to-be-forgotten the moment when he hears those d : Places please! Curtain going moment in a dramatic stu- dent's life is terrifying wor s up. Miss Randall's chief aim is to bring out self- confidence, dramatic appreciation, and more perfect pronunciation in a student.

Courses in homemaking are fun, but more than iust enioyment is derived from the classes. The pleasure derived is of a practical nature in that it is a good prepa- ration for life. Art HEN you find students looking for- ward to a certain class, you know it must be something very special. This is the case in our art department where the students' interest in their work is very high. Their interest is high not only because the work they do in various media, but because a curriculum is offered that provides one with a well-rounded pro- gram of diversified proiects. Our art students are fortunate in receiv- ing excellent instruction and advice in their classes. -f by vi' if m y A typical scene in room sixteen.

Today, the industrial arts department offers twenty-seven different courses in- volving the study of the materials, tools, processes, iobs, and the human problems of industry. The pupils are given unlimited scope for creative thinking, designing, and the development of original ideas, and many of them plan to follow a career re- lated to their particular field of study.
