Fine Arts The fine arts offer various opportunities for a student to ex - press his emotions in a creative sense. Whether it is art, music, or the drama, he is exposed to new forms of self-expression, which develop discriminative taste and an appreciation of the aesthetic values in life. The three years of Mrs. Lancaster's art courses teach the histrxy of art as well as the manual skills and essential techniques. Mr. Reep teaches vocal music and Mr. Ferronato teaches the bands. Miss Jolly teaches a drama course. The first semester drama class studied Shakespear's HAMLET: the second semester class put on four one act plays.

One was French I, taught by Mrs. Little: and the other was latin I and II , taught by Miss Smith. French I is primarily designed to give students a small amount of skill in speaking and understanding the language , and a moderate skill in reading and writing it. latin I is the study of gram- matical constructions with both trans- lations and writing lessons . Latin II sntesses the reading and appreciation of Roman authors , particularly Caesar. Latin is beneficial in providing a sound background fo' the study of other Romance languages or professions . Both French and Latin teach the student about the people , their country and their culture, as well as increasing the student's skill with the English langua ge . 21

asdf jkl: These courses train the student in skills he will need on the job. The first half unit of typing is valuable for personal use: the second half teaches information necessary for clerical work. Gregg Shorthand Simplified is the be- ginning course to teach the ability to read shorthand notes rapidly, to take dictation easily and fluently, and to produce a quantity and quality of work adequate to meet office standards. General Business is the study of everyday business practices which pertain to the present day life of the pupils. Bookkeeping develops the student's habit of recording, summarizing and inter- preting data for his own affairs and to in- crease his understanding of business or- ganization. It is the foundation for vo- cational bookkeeping and accounting. Secretarial Practice is an advanced shorthand and typing course to prepare students for secretarial work. 20 Business Courses Because many of the students will not be going to college, but will enter the business world immediately upon graduation, Lindbergh offers a large number of business courses.

Physical Education All manner of things were taught in the Phy- ical Education classes at L.H.S. this year. In addition to the regular Tuesday and Friday gym classes, the boys had health classes taught by Mr. Stewart and Mr. Iaworski. Some of Mrs. Iost's classes and Mr. Iaworski's classes participated in a combined program of ball- room dancing. The students learned such dances as the jitterbug, waltz, fox trot, rhumba and polka. The instructions came in quite handy for school dances and other occasions. The girls learned archery, hockey, basket- ball, volleyball and tumbling, while the boys con- centrated on physical fitness programs, softball, touch football, soccer, badminton, tumbling, basket- .ig ball, volleyball, handball and relays. This work is valuable in order to maintain health and a feeling of well-being, to develop an interest in leisure time physical activities and to help mold character through teamwork, co-operation and good sportsmanship. All these qualities contribute to build more attractive, alert and pleasant young people. Ready , Aim ----- 22 Lights Out! Ride 'Um Cowboy
