NEW FIELDS OF ENDEAVOR - ART AND 5313 gzgarf 0 O Zllh A master piece was every art students' desire! Sketches and paintings of the future artists were exhibited in the show- case on the first floor.2 Barney Fetterhoff helped Mike Volikas arrange examples of his work in the showcase. Aspiring Van Goghs, Grandma Mose- es, and Rembrandts sketched designs for their future careers in the eight semes- ters of art taught by Miss Bernice Mc- Kinley in 103, These artists dabbled in ink, oils, water colors, and pastels, preserving their in- spirations in animal and flower studies, figure drawings, portraits, and perspec- tive drawings. Greg Harmon, Marta Heckman, Bar- ney Fetterhoff, and Larry Patmore each entered his masterpiece in the National Scholastic Art Contest displayed at L. S. Ayres, and Larry's gold-key exhibit reached the large contest at New York. VVhile spring fever bloomed in May, the KHS walls also llowered with all the colorful works that these artists had drawn during the year. Ronnie Roe had a tip for other members of his art class, Nancy Carnes, Trudy Miller, Ronnie Goudy, Virginia Miller, Bonnie Holden, Susan Mangel, Peggy Gentry, Joyce Teeters, and Gloria Waldmann.

Spanish and Latin students were comparing ideas. Judy Irwin and Richard Girton explain- ed the use of this Roman movable tower while Barbara Carlson displayed her sparkling Spanish dance costume for Romans Elizabeth Waggaman and Linda Hawkins. UNRAVELED MYSTERIES The Romance languages, French and Spanish, plus the basic tongue, Latin, didn't always seem so romantic when RHS students had to memorize long vo- cabulary lists and verb conjugations. Mr. Urban Steckler's French students translated short dialogues like Around fha Mforld in Eighty Days and struggled to achieve true French accents with authentically trilled r's. A new faculty member, Mr. Edwin Low, led aspiring senors and senoritas in writing Spanish essays and translating stories. In 215, Mrs, Elsie Seagrave's room, Latin leaped alive as scholars wrote newspapers and Christmas cards in Caesar's own tongue and translated Greek and Roman myths. Foreign intrigue crept into KHS as every language student studied histories, cultures, and customs of such countries as France, Spain, and Italy. OF THEIR LANGUAGES ELSIE T. SEAGRAVE, A.

From the glee clubs, talented crooners were singled out for the KHS Choir, Music appreciation and music history classes taught by Mr. Joseph Ragains analyzed recorded suites and symphonies. They studied rhythm and scales, the lives of famous composers, and the history and uses of the brasses, woodwinds, strings, and percussion instruments. These music classes were invaluable electives because they offered more tech- nical knowledge to the musically inclined and augumented the regular studentis education. Make mine music, echoed the voices of music history and music ap- preciation students. Rhythms of music from around the world were analyzed and enjoyed in class.
