Music and Art Music provides an interlude in the day of many students who take one class to relax with music. Besides developing musical talent and an appreciation for good music, stu- dents have fun working in groups and learning self- discipline. Students are shown ways in which their study of music can be put to use. Art gives the student the opportunity to express himself with creative skills in drawing, painting, and claywork. Students are acquainted with a variety of artforms and learn to judge their values wisely. To every student, art suggests interesting and rewarding hobbies. Library Mount Vernon High School's remodeled library is being used for reference and by those in search of reading rec- reation. The library subscribes to magazines and newspa- pers and supplies motion pictures and records for supple- mentary classroom work. Library hours also have been ex- panded this year. 14 W adj

We Need Guides - Teachers to Aid Us Along the Way . sxssss. W... G 'A GERALD BOGAR - Western Washington State College B.A., DONALD SUNDEAN - Western Washington State College B.A., B.S., Biology, General Science. JOSEPH NORLIE H- Luther Col- Biology. MALCOLM THOMSON H University of Washington lege B.A., Electricity, General Science, Physics. B.S., Chemistry, Junior Counselor. Dissecting a frog is fascinating work, and if you don't believe it, ask Mark Swan- son and Chris Hanson who are shown here working in biology lab. In addition to such interesting tasks as this, MVHS biology students in Mr. Bogar's and Mr. Sundean's classes study microscopic, plant, and animal life. They start with protoplasm and end their year's work with the study of man. It takes a lot of concentration to get a geometry assignment done cor- rectly, sophomore Allene Ward, above left, can testify to that. Classroom time just isn't enough - it takes a few hours at home each evening, too. After Allene has learned the necessary theories, she will find many of her problems easier to answer. She is a student in Mr. Reiman's class. Working mathematics can be fun - especially when you use some of the devices that help solve problems. Gay Polson, Mary Rygmyr, and Curt Wylie, sophomore students in Mr. Ravnick's geometry class, demonstrate a special problem to their classmates to prove the point. 'h-MN' 65,3- ' 13
