The new trend toward pursuing language courses has certainly posed a problem here at Hopkins. Just this year two sections of German and one of French were added to the curriculum Next year the Russian Department will be expanded This year to make up for the language teacher shortage, two English teachers. Miss Meeri and Miss Gaustad. have taught almost full time German and French, so next year another full time language teacher will be added to the department Mrs Esther Nelson was chairman of the four-language department that used the services of six teachers 23

JOHN PRELLWITZ. Art. Art Club Adviser MRS. DOROTHY K. PHELPS. Art. Art Studio MUSIC OF THE HOPKINS CONCERT BAND could be heard echoing through the halls as Uncle John Tesar led them through arrangements of everything from the New World Symphony to Jingle Bells Besides providing entertainment at the special programs the band added zing to pep fests and games. The choir which was directed by Mr Gears, and the orchestra conducted by Mr. Brunzell completed the Hopkins' musical family. The choir had a combined force of 155 voices the varsity choir and the sophomore choir Creativity was the keyword of the art department this year, and in order to insure that students would have a free, creative atmosphere the Hopkins art department had to turn away students for the first time in its history In spite of this inconvenience. HHS sculptors and artists continued to decorate the halls and foyer with colorful work, some of which was selected by the art faculty for permanent display at Hopkins. They performed at such functions as Christmas concerts at Soulhdale and the North Star Center.
