ppreciation nd Fitness Tried Orchestra practice shows the individual involved in his own section of the music in preparation for concerts and recitals given during the school year A band section rehearses in anticipation of the annual Mid-Winter Concert 22 OALS of the music department this year wereto make music a meaningful experience and to develop a more sensitive understanding of beauty in music for those who parti- cipated. Since most music students were in the performing groups, it was largely through these groups that music appre- ciation was taught. From the inner satisfactions of a good per- formance came a better understanding and appreciation of music. Participation on all levels based on the time and interest ofthe student, stimulated learning for the individual at the level of his ability. For those who could not perform, a discussion-Iis- tening class was offered. Although the students in this music appreciation class could not participate actively, they were given an opportunity to learn to listen better to the types of mu- sic performed and what goes into a good performance, ONTINUAL evaluation of the physical education class gave the student the best program possible this year, Through constant improvement, the student was given the opportunity to develop and maintain strength. vitality, speed, and coordination of the body. He learned the importance of cooperation, the joy of winning, and the disappointment of defeat through the play- ing of games, Participation in physical education activities also brought control of feelings, frustration in failure, and fun in ac- complishment, Experiences valuable to their intellectual growth such as reasoning, evaluation of situations, and making judg- ments were also taught. As a result, the student should have good health and be physically fit,

Language Facilities Were Improved Foreign language students particpated and listened in class discussions EACH ERS in the foreign language department recognize the unique role that language plays in furthering world under- standing. The need is also recognized by the staff for the type of instruction which will best serve today's student. With this phi- losophy in mind the department continues to stress the oral approach to language. Individualizedinstruction in languagelab allows each student to work on listening comprehension at his own rate of speed. A student is at liberty to use the lab any day :luring a free period and after school. The additional need for exposure to foreign culture has led to the increasing use of for- eign periodicals in the classroom as well as textbooks, to an expanding library of tapes, and to more direct contact with the language by letter and tape exchanges. LincoIn's foreign Ian- guage department may be the only one in the nation which uses short wave broadcasts in the classroom. The opportunities open to a foreign language student are numerous, and because of its innovations, perhaps some day we all may experience this other dimension in communication.
