Art Department Stresses Criginality By Students ARTS AND CRAFTS The two subiects offered to Mount Clemens High School students in the art department are general art and special art. The beginning art student would take general art and learn the basic fundamentals. After the student has completed this success- fully, he may take special art in which he has the opportunity to to express himself in many types of art. Since the showcases on the top floor have been remodeled, the art students have had a chance to display different phases of their art work. The art classes have helped make the plays, assemblies, oper- ettas, and also public productions put on in the auditorium successful by making and painting scenery, posters, and props. They collected precious gems and made the crowns worn this year by the king and queen of Alumni Night. Mrs. Racine Mr.. Dean FACULTY FACTS MRS. KATHLEEN H. RACINE, B.

Mr. Beauman :' Mr. Boardman Mr. Robinson Music Gffers Challenge To Pupils Of Varied Skill INSTRUMENTAL AND VOCAL MUSIC Whether a student plays a wicked trumpet or sings a dreamy baritone, he is welcome in the music department of Mount Clemens High School. The vocal music department and the instrumental music department, together make up the complete department. The vocal music groups include the Mixed Chorus, Boys' Glee Club, Girls' Glee Club and the Acapella Choir. All of these groups take part in the annual operetta. This year it was OkIahoma!, a most ambitious undertaking very well performed. These same groups make assemblies and other special occasions more entertaining with their beautiful music. The instrumental department includes the beginning band, iunior band, senior band and orchestra. The senior band marches at foot- ball games and parades, plays for assemblies and all instrumental groups combine to put on two concerts each year. FACULTY FACTS MR. WARREN F.

In a gym class, a student can let go and relax. Whether he is doing push-ups, playing basketball or volleyball, studying first aid, health, or theory of sports, swimming in the pool, running on the track indoors or outdoors, he may take advantage of the gym class opportunities to improve his health and physical skills. Doing calisthenics helps keep Mount Clemens High School students in tip-top shape for the rigors of other classes. Other indoor sports teach them co- ordination of mind and body. ln all cases a sense of good sportsmanship is a desired result. First aid, a needed subiect, is included in the freshman physical education program as is the study of personal health, including body care and good grooming. The sophomores study the theory of sports, both individual and team as well as the whys and wherefores. Since Michigan is a water wonderland, swim- ming is required of all M.C.H.S. gym students. Halth and First Aid are an important part of all girls' gym classes. Here Carol Thoel is putting an arm bandage on Karen Johnson to demonstrate to the class and teacher that she has learned how to do it.
