Chance for Group, Individual Expression in Fine Arts The Fine Arts Department offers the Lincoln High student a chance to express himself and to explore the meaning of the beauty of life. This year, as always, classes in vocal music sought to develop the talented student. In sopho- more glees the student was introduced to choral singing; in junior glees his singing skills were sharpened. A coveted berth in one of the senior music groups-Aeolian Choir, the octets, or Mad- rigals-was each student’s ultimate goal. New uniforms, purchased with student-raised funds, highlighted the Marching Band’s appear- ances. The Orchestra and Dance Band also pro- vided music on various occasions. Art classes introduced the student to various forms of graphic expression. Through drawing, painting, carving, and sculpture the student de- veloped his personal approach to art.

Foreign Language Classes No English allowed” might well be the motto of the Lincoln High Foreign Language Department. Through drills, reading, and conversation the for- eign language student becomes oriented in the basic skills of his second tongue. Modern languages continued to flourish this year at LHS, as French, German, and Spanish proved ever popular. There was a note of sadness, however, as this year saw the final phase-out of Latin and the bust of Julius Caesar, long a landmark in the department, relegated elsewhere. Continued emphasis was placed on the use of recordings in foreign language study. Individual tapes were made available for home use while group study was done in the school’s excellent sound lab.

Industrial Arts Is Broad View; Trades Is Specialization The Industrial Arts Department offers a variety of opportunities to the Lincoln High boy with me- chanical aptitude. The department offers courses in industrial arts to familiarize the student with various fields. Courses in trades preparatory are then made available to the boy who wishes training in a specific vocational area. This year a new block system of courses was offered to the sophomore. Under this system a boy studied three different areas of industrial arts for a period of nine weeks each. For the final nine weeks of the year he continued studying in the particular area of his choice. The Trades Preparatory Curriculum offers an outstanding selection of courses in the areas of carpentry, drafting, electronics, mechanics, and printing. Training in any one of these fields well prepares a boy for his future occupation.
