Advanced band students, Pauline Jones, Dick Epps, Carol Wagner, Judy Szymanski, and Gene Mastin prove this statement as they rehearse for a forthcoming concert. A South of the Border atmosphere often prevails in Miss Angeline Prado s Spanish class. Students Jerry Tarpo, John Paris, and Christine Pirovsky help display Spanish garb The opportunity to explore our talents and to develop an appreciation of the fine arts is provided by creative courses in art, music, drama, speech, photography, and languages. Students with artistic endowments learn to paint an ex¬ pressive picture. Drama students admire and study profes¬ sionals as they attended plays in Chicago. The grade school operetta, PRINCE OF PILSON, gave those with exceptional dramatic and musical ability an opportunity to be recognized. Speech courses help us to think more clearly and talk more fluently. Speech contests, which give the winner an opportun¬ ity to speak before service clubs, create friendly competition. The study of foreign languages enables us to know and understand the culture of others. Students may choose Latin, French or Spanish from grades seven through eleven if they wish to become proficient in languages. Students may elect other fine arts courses which broaden their cultural interests.

r H Covering a wide rang of interests and abili¬ ties, the vocational arts courses provide interest in future home-making, home-building, and do- it-yourself hobbies. In home economics courses we prepare for our household duties which lie ahead. Many of the homemakers of tomorrow learn the basic principles of cooking skills. As the year progresses, entire meals are prepared by the more experi¬ enced cooks. Eye appeal is important, so personal grooming is stressed. Sewing classes develop an interest in fashion. Skill with tools is an advantage as we take our place in society. In woodshop classes various wooden objects from cabinets to spoons are made. Other shops, such as print shop and metal shop, help students to become familiar with other occu¬ pational skills. Typing and shorthand courses prepare stu¬ dents for college or secretarial positions. A knowledge of these practical arts prepares us for entrance into the adult world.
