The Arts The sounds at busy lathes, flying planes, Beethoven and Bach, and surging choruses echoed through the halls of good old Mt. Lebo as the students at the Practical and Fine Arts sought perfection in wood, met- al, orchestra, and voice. Not to be forgotten is the all-important and very popular subject of Home Economics, Those inviting and taste-tempt- ing odors on the second floor come from meat cooking or cookies baking, as future house- wives planned and prepared full course meals that would please the heart of any man. Included in this study were caring for the home, sewing, costume design- ing, and child care. Music activities hit a new high this year both in the class- room and in various special events, The operetta, assembly programs, P,T.A., and gridiron marches kept the choruses, or- chestra and band busy until the year's end. lTop to bottoml Misses Timko and Cribbs chat over a tea cup Tea for two at four Mr. Swartz checks for accuracy Mr, Shanor aids aspiring artists Shop projects in the making Mr, Anderson watches the lathe Mr. Miescer signals the down- beat ,I-SY mn

cience The ghosts of Darwin, Davy, and Faraday haunted the Biolo- gy, Chemistry, and Physics rooms as young scientists, seek- ing knowledge of living things, the elements, and properties of matter and energy experiment- ed, studied and calculated. Under such titles as Fascin- ation of Microscopic Lite and Conquering Dangerous Mi- crobes, biology students worked, wondered, and are still wondering. While biologists strived with living things, the eager chemists worked with atoms, and the theory of ion- ization. Further up the scientific ladder, seniors were fascinated in Physics by such sciences as mechanics and light. Understanding Science, Applied Chemistry, and Liv- ing With Machines were all units in the work of Consumer Science classes, where the em- phasis was placed on tying up science with everyday life. Though the fundamental groundwork was difficult to master, science students realized that in this field are great op- portunities for the future. lTop to bottaml Mr. Brown and students study o chemical formula These three discover the won- ders of science Mr. Gilbert dissects again The wonders of the plant king- dom pointed out by Miss Rankin Mr. Bromberick compounds the elements Physics students stand impressed -- 1,5 4
