And ’Rithmetic MUSIC: In our music department an opportunity for the student to improve himself in music is given by chorus, hand, and solo work. I lerc are opportunities for a student to appear on programs, march in parades, go to festivals, and participate in contests. Each year these students work harder, for competition is increased. This work is under the able guidance of Mr. Don Sexton and Mrs. Frances Hun-saker. HUMANITIES: To help the student understand man’s activities and appreciate his arts, we have a fine department which offers subjects such as history, English, French, and sociology. To live a richer and better life the student must know how to use the English language through grammar. I le can understand our future much better if he understands our history. He can understand society better by studying sociology. Thus, he has a better understanding of mankind. Mrs. Gladys St(x key, Mrs. Marilyn Barron, Mrs. Dorothy Oelrich, and Mr. Ed Thies, instructors, help to promote this understanding. IESSON — Oh! Those crazy mixed-up notes! U. S. HISTORY — Dreaming of those far-away places! FRESHMAN ENGLISH — There's nothing like relaxing while we study English.
