Music and Art Develop Cultural Appreciation Miss Donovan kept her art classes busy with various projects which in- clu ded making plaster of Paris and wooden plaq u e s , papier-mache faces and waste baskets. They also drew de- signs, did lettering, and made posters and Christmas cards. Miss Donovan explains how to put the finish- ing touches on papier- mache masks. A new instrument found a place in Kane High when Miss Dalrymple intro- duced the autoharp to her eighth and ninth grade music classes. With it she taught them chording and the underlying rhythm. In addition the students examined the piano and several other instruments to discover where the music comes from and why. Vocal music wasn ' t neglected, either, with emphasis placed on harmony singing. Sue strikes the chord on autoharp as the rest tune up for Jacob ' s Ladder. Woodwinds iron out musical difficulties in sec- tionals under the direction of Mr. Stewart. Weak spots in band and orchestra pieces were ironed out during Thurs- day sectional re- hearsals. The an- nual spring concert proved that the time spent in striving for perfection was most worthwhile.

Physical Education Promotes Wholesome Outlook Despite the moans and groans, over 40 girls proved that they were capable of passing all the rugged tumbling tests. As usual, bas- ketball, volleyball, and soccer ranked as the most popular activities. Girls in gym class demonstrate var i o u s tumbling maneuvers. Under the supervision of Mrs. Long- shore, the freshmen and juniors received their biennial physical checkups. Dr. Mc- Ghee made the general examinations, and Dr. Bovard handled the dental in- spections. Hearing tests administered by Mrs. Longshore pointed out the students with auditory difficulties. Later in the year, all seniors and freshmen had chest x-rays taken as a tuberculosis precaution. Dr. Bovard finds that true Pepsodent smile, Beverly Peterson has perfect teeth. Under Vic ' s guidance boys show the correct way to use the half nelson from referee ' s position on the mat. The boys ' gym is a place of bustling activity. The first half of the year was spent in developing co-ordination and he-man muscles; the second half, learning the funda- mentals of precision marching, wrestling and field and track.

Commercial Course Trains for Efficiency Asdf space jkl; space. At last the keyboard was mastered, and the typing students began to make sense with their machines. Through daily practice and timed- writings, the typists quickly in- creased their speed. Although some took the course for practi- cal reasons, many will use their skill in their future secretarial work. Don lines up his paper under Miss Mc- Camey ' s supervision. Practical experience plus on- the-job training benefited the members of Miss McCamey ' s of- fice practice class. They learned to file, type stencils, and operate the dictaphone and adding ma- chines. During the second se- mester, they put their knowledge to work when many of them ob- tained jobs in local offices. Pat, Charlotte, and Maurice get prac- tical training by using the dictaphone, calculator, and filing cabinet. Terms such as debits and cred- its, assets and liabilities may be puzzling to the majority of stu- dents but not to the bookkeeping classes who learned to enter them properly in ledgers. The advanced class kept the books and handled all the money for the cafeteria. Students get actual practice in book- keeping by taking care of all cafe- teria accounts.
