MUSIC Under the direction of Miss Patricia Velasco, the choir, mixed quartets, and soloists have taken part in religious services in different commu- nities and on campus. The music department re- sponds very generously when- ever asked to do special sing- ing, and their music has been greatly appreciated. l PHYSIOLOGY The goal of the first aid classes is to learn to give immediate care in emergencies until the services of a physician can be obtained. . In order to graduate from Menaul School each student needs half a credit of first aidg he takes it for a semester daily. This year two classes meet second and third periods and are taught by Miss Emilie Knipe, the school nurse. SPANISH Sometimes visitors on the Menaul campus exclaim, You take Spanish! Why? Don't you speak it already? While Spanish is not a foreign language in the usual sense of the word, it is an important part of our curriculum. There is such an advantage, especially- in the Southwest, in being bi-lingualg and since Menaul students have a usable vocabulary and'relatively good pro- nunciation to begin with, an attempt is made to study Spanish further. Emphasis is placed on Such things as reading, spelling, vocabulary building, and improved usage. Three years of Spanish are offered. The usual textbooks are supplemented by SELECCI- ONES, the Spanish version of the READER'S DIGEST. Each year a Spanish play is given, usu- ally by the advanced class. This year's offering was Zaragueta, a two act comedy by Ramos Carrion y Vital Aza. y SCIENCE In the science department three regular science courses are given, chemistry, physics, and biology. 1 Most of the students take biology sometime during their three years at Menaul. Both juniors and seniors take physics, a field which has great appeal for boys and also for a few girls. Chemistry is given the senior year, for this is a more helpful year for the girls who wish to enter nurses' training or clinical work as assistants in health-laboratories. Page Thirty-three
