3 lllilllll The adage, One picture is worth a thousand words, has its practical ap- plication in Lamar's Latin classes where models of Roman arms and armour en- liven the stories of Caesar's wars. The difficulties of the irregular verb and the use of the subiunctive account for the looks of concentration upon the faces of these students in a typical Spanish class at Lamar. ls this ancient alchemy or modern chemistry? query these students as they watch the complex preparations for a demonstration experiment about to be conducted in Lamar's chemistry laboratory. A complete world of minute organisms suddenly appears before the eyes of these biology students as they bring their microscopes into focus upon the specimens of muddy water they are examining. x Upper right: ,V .L MR.

CLHSSLS Many an English student at Lamar has become a Shakespearean enthusiast after listening, as these students are, to the school's superb records of Mac- beth's soliloquies delivered by Maurice Evans. Perhaps a future Bill Stern will be de- veloped through use of the excellent facilities found in the drama depart- ment for recording and radio work. Are you familiar with cylinders or the problems of the Archimedian Solid? lf not, follow these students to the math department and have the mysteries of solid geometry explained. A civics class applies a portion of what it learned concerning the Bill of Rights, the right of Freedom of Speech, as it conducts an open discussion of social problems concerning the family.

llllIUlll Right shoulder arms! comes the com- mand which these R.O.T.C. students are about to follow during practice in drill- ing, one part of the extensive military training Lamar's cadets receive. Music! Music! Music! certainly fills the halls at Lamar. ln addition to regular classes such as this, there are two or- ganized choruses, the Girls' Chorus and the Mixed Chorus. No one can say that the field of com- mercial arts is neglected at Lamar. As proof here are typing students busily at work trying to improve their ac- curacy and speed. Lamar girls find that physical education courses have certainly changed since mother was a girl. Here, for instance, these girls are practicing for a test in First Aid, a regular part of their gym training. Upper left: MR. LEE S. KEDING Chairman, Music Department Lower left: MRS. MAY H.
