SKILL THROUGH HARMONY AND MELODY NT MISS MARY A, RICE, with an AB degree from Central Normal College, teaches grade school art, high school art and seventh grade English. She is a co-sponsor of the '7th Grade. 'O- MR, NOEL LEWIS, holding a BS degree from Ball State Teachers College, teaches band, choir and chorus. He is shown explaining the diagram of a saxophone to two of his junior high students. I-Ie spon- sors the Freshman Class, Who said miracles never happen?' At the beginning of the school year we winced at the Music Department's sour and wavering notes, But after a lot of hard work and time, they kept our toes tapping all year around, The band's colorful uniforms and versatile steps were seen during each home ball game and the Choir and Chorus each presented entertaining programs. Members of the art classes pur- sue various phases of the arts and al- though they do not always intend to ' make art their vocation, the know- ledge acquired may at some future date prove to be a profitable hobby, The posters seen around town and all over the school are a credit to the art classes. These fine arts develop the stu- dent's potentialities, and are helping us to discover hidden talent, whether in art or music, From these we learn harmony and balance, each helping us to become better adjusted citizens of Tomorrow,
