Let us have trumpets — Choir (tinI Bond Arenl, Mr. Henry: Band; Needle Art . MUSIC As defined in the dictionary, music is “sounds having rhythm and melody,” or “the art of pleasing; expressive or intelligible combination of tones.” Music may not always be beautiful because the ideas that the composer wishes to express through music are not always beautiful; but all music seeks to express through sound thoughts and feeling of the composer. Mrs. Elsie Kwakkcrnaat, choir director, and Mr. Henry Arent, band director, try to make music “come alive” for their students so that they in turn can sing or play it for the pleasure of others. Since we don’t have study hall periods at Vocational, the difficulty of finding time during the day to practice involves sacrifice and faithfulness on the part of these students and their directors. In spite of obstacles, these organizations have managed to contribute much to our school life. Kuakkernaat, Mrs. Elsie: Choir; Music. and voices.

English Equivalents in Grade 12- The English equivalents cover a field large enough so that almost every senior can choose the class he prefers. Three of the English equivalents offered are for students who like to write. They are Craftsman, the school newspaper, good for any student who has a nose for news; Tradewind, for those who always seem to be there when something happens; Crea-live VP riling, for those who use their imagination to make a little incident into a vivid original story or poem. The other equivalent, Radio Workshop, is for those who like to talk. Here students have the opportunity to be in plays and school programs, where they can acquire poise before an audience. Students who are not interested in the special English equivalents will automatically get basic communications and uorld literature. 23 Mr. David Johnson is explaining the day’s assignment to his Senior English class.
