Fine Arts Everyday Beauty Is the Modern Theme . . . Culture and beauty was the theme of the teachers in the fine arts department as they tried to instill some of the beauty of these subjects into the everyday lives of the students. Colorful posters, announcing special events, were only one of the many projects undertaken by the art classes. They painted many lovely pictures and, although they were not all outstanding, the students received much enjoyment from doing them. Crafts students worked with leather, metal, and clay, while those interested in correct color schemes and proper furniture for the home, took interior decorating. All of these fascinating under- takings were carried on under the watchful eye of Mrs. Margaret S. Mitzit, head of the art department. Muriel Foster displays her talents with a baritone. Nancy Ogren proves that she, too, can be a Hoagy Carmichael. 018s

Daymond J. Aiken, B.A., M.S., freshman home room, student council, Algebra I and II, physics, plane geometry, trig- onometry. Chemistry students gained ex- perience in the laboratory as they performed numerous experiments under Mr. Bismarclds watchful eye. Many odd smells that filled the school halls can be blamed on this class. Light, sound, and physical laws of nature were just a few of the things taught in the physics class by Mr. Aiken. Although they haven't experimented with the atomic bomb, the class learned many important and interesting facts concerninghnu- clear physics. In the mathematics depart- ment, freshmen prepared themselves for advanced mathematics by study- ing general mathematics under Miss Goerz and algebra under the instruc- tion of Miss Goetz and Mr Aiken. Plane. geometry, advanced algebra, and solid geometry were taken by hopeful mathematicians who worked with logarithms, cylinders, calculus, and parabolas. These classes were under the capable direction of Mr. Aiken who has recently had his own algebra book and charts published. The latter are used in many schools, including our own. Miss Lorina E. Goerz, B.A., Clinton O. Bismarck, B.A., Ph.M., sophomore home room, sophomore home room chairman, Junior Red Cross, geometry, detention, general sctence, chem- alebra, general science, general istry, biology. mathematics.

I I Music, music, music, under the direction of Ernest O. Caneva, added much life to many school affairs. The regular band practice every eighth period kept the members in good playing condition for all of the basketball and football games, not to mention the various other activities at which their music was enjoyed. Every noon hour found many music lovers gathered in the audi- torium ready to sacrifice part of their lunch hour for chorus practice, No wonder we have such a fine music department! Miss Lucile Emmons proved that foreign languages are very interesting by teaching the students to read and translate Spanish. High- lights were added to this class in the form of Spanish newspapers and films. Some members of the class also received a better under- standing of the language and of the lives of the people by corres- ponding with them in Spanish. An important place in the language department was held by Mr. Alex L. Johnsonius's Latin classes-or so the Latin students thought as they spent many hours trying to translate Julius Caesar.
