DEVELOP CULT RE Mr. Strother, being an aesthetic person himself, was able to capitalize on talents of students in teaching artistic skills. Mr. McKeown was around to further develop artistic consciousness. His musical and teaching abilities were seen through personal and professional contributions to the school program. 4 We can thus ascertain that this year of music and art at MHS was a big milestone in the future develop- ment of a true fine arts program. y , sf 3 qi , 5 I Alvin practices to N A ' achieve the best i D'Ann seems to be deeply absorbed in her art work. tones possible. ,ef il Xl!

French and Latin to students pursuing the classical course of study. To gain a typical glimpse of the work done by these eleven teachers is to recall the many times that Mesdames Mac Wolfe's and Mary Lewis' sophomore and senior students of English dressed themselves like Flappers from the 1920's to explain various uses of the dictionary, like Hansel and Gretel to convey orig- inal compositionsg like characters from Tom Dooley to demonstrate prose writing, or like children to depict Mrs. E.
