EPICS AND ESSAYS THE Language Arts Department helped us by teach, ing us to communicate clearly and correctly and by exposing us to some of the most effective and classical communications of man. We were taught communications through all manner of interesting exercises in grammar, speech, writing, and memorization. Remember incorporating forty-seven recondite vocabulary words in o coherent hundred word theme - or. copying definitions verbatim from the dictionary and finding them corrected the next day. We were also exposed to a sampling of revered world, American, and English literature. Remember ... bells, bells, bolls . . Whan that Aprille . . ... let me count the ways . . ., until we were so confused we were forced to even think. Besides the English courses themsolves, the Language Arts Department encompasses speech, debate, college composition, and survey of litero-ture. New course offerings were being examined and possibly dramatics will be added as a classroom sublet. Under its new head, Mr. Chorles Coruson, the deportment has begun a three year curriculum study under the coordination of Mr. H. Anderson. The purpose of the study is to examine the possibility of offering o more uniform, coordinated progression of courses with more emphasis on writing. YESTERDAY'S DEADLINE WAS A SENIOR RESEARCH PAPER.

MRS. DOROTHY PHELPS, Art, Art Club. MR. JOHN TESAR, Bond. Harmony. MR. WALLACE GEARS, Choir, G!e« Club. MR. CLIFFORO BRUNZELl, Orchestra. BRIGHT SPIRITS EMANATED FROM THE CHOIR. FOLIOS AND FLUTES MRS. Phelps and Mr. Preflwitz of the Art Department characterized two approaches to art educotion. Mrs, Phelps' closses approached art with the discipline of many diverse assignments; one we may have noticed was the murals done by third year students. Mr. Prell-witz placed more emphasis on spontaneous art work; much of the year students were turned loose on creative assignments. Both teachers had students represented in exhibitions at the M.E.A. convention, at Southdale, and at North-rup Auditorium. Creativity of another type was encouraged in the Music Department. Mr. Gears put it this way: Music exists to servo and enrich human values, and to glorify human life. To provide opportunities to achieve these goals, one wing of our school is devoted to the Music Department. Here students may find means for self-expression through participation in the a cappella choir, the band, glee club, orchestra, or in the harmony classes, Individual and group creativity is stimulated through each of these.
