Physical Activity, This year the physical education depart- ments joined forces on Thursday afternoons to provide many profitable and enjoyable times for students. In addition, field days for boys and play days for girls became more popular, as these special events became more numerous. This was the first year that all gvm classes used the physical fitness test. The junior high boys gym classes played tournament touch football games, while the girls worked on modern dance and estab- lished the first LN girls’ bowling league. The low, low Triumph of Miss Betty Brown—Mrs. Vietta Short and Bob James. 24

This is ihe French magazine ihai comes every week—Miss Helen Dunlap and Mrs. Lois Althouse. And Lands Across The Seas. I study, too—Miss Margaret Dolezal. Are you interested in other people, other cultures, other ways of life? If so you are probably already familiar with the LN foreign language department. The language department now offers two years of German, Latin, and Spanish, and is offering three years of French for the first time this year. A new addition this year to the special equipment used in this field is the lan- guage lab in Room 310. Here the students work with drills, tapes, and recordings. In order to cope with life in a world which becomes smaller every year, as new inventions decrease the time it takes to go from one country to another, it is becom- ing increasingly important that we know more about people in other lands. Learning the culture of another country is as basic as learning its language. At Northeast students learn songs, poems, and customs of a country in addition to their study of the grammar and mechanics of the foreign language that they are studying. 2.1

Sweet harmony—Mrs. Velma Snook and Mrs. Pearl Lowell. It'll be pretty when it's fin- ished— Marsha Bookwalter. Music, and Art Enrich Students’ Lives, In a sense, students taking one of the fine arts courses offered at Northeast are studying a language, for both art and music are surely among the most beautiful and universal ways in which persons are able to commuinicate with one another. The sounds of young voices can be heard drifting through the halls of the school every morning during first period when choir meets. Later in the day, these voices are replaced by those of members of girls glee, boys glee, triple trio, and mixed chorus. Boys’ and girls’ choruses are of- fered as vocal music fare in junior high. One hour of concentrated practice every- day, out-of-town trips, and concerts are in store for all members of the LN band and orchestra. Most of these players have gained their musical experience in prep band and prep orchestra, junior high groups. General and Adanced Art are offered to senior high students. In these classes, art appreciation is taught and good art prin- ciples are put into practice. Preparation for these classes is made in seventh, eighth, and ninth grade art classes. These fellows have the will to win—Art Bauer. 25
