Oesaloine Hudson Director of Vocal Musxc Band In Foemation Listen to The Music Makers ★ The ambassadors of melody are Mrs. Geraldine Hudson and Mr. James Walker. The girls’ glee club won a “superior” rating in the 1941 national regional contest, which is the highest rating given to contestants; Betty Bumgarner, alto soloist, also won a “superior” rating. Mrs. Hudson is en- deavoring to maintain this record. Under the guidance of Mr. Walker, Bryce McFall, trombone soloist, won a “superior” rating in the national regional contest, while the saxaphone and flute quartets won an “excellent rating. The band fairly gloats over its six newly added majorettes. Nor- man High’s band is strictly on the “upbeat”, thanks to Mr. Walker. 1

Miss Ooeal Locke Speech I. English II Mks. J. Ben Dohebtt Spanish I. Library Class In Public Speaking Study Hall Paging Demosthenes ★ The recently remodeled Norman High library now includes 6,037 vol- umes, many of which were rebound during the summer months, and are as attractive as new books, according to Mrs. J. Ben Doherty, librarian. Each regularly enrolled student spends one hour every day in the library reading and studying. A successful person is recognized, to some extent, by his ability to speak well. Miss Odeal Locke, as head of the speech department, teaches her students the fundamentals of choral reading, public speaking, debate, and drama. The choral readers demonstrated ability during the Armistice assembly by their depictions of eras in American history.

The Canal of Languages Latin is the carpet on the floor of every classroom; for over half of the commonly used English words have Latin derivatives. The Latin language is a canal that spans the width of Europe and both Americas and draws us together in these troubled days. Our teacher, Miss Coreen Wilkerson, gives a clear knowledge of the meaning of the English words, a better under- standing of English syntax, and a basis for the study of other languages. Mrs. J. Ben Doherty and Miss Wilkerson in Spanish I and II are so thorough in their instructions that students can read, write, and sing in this romantic tongue. Mbs.
