A UCH beautiful work has been done by the students of the art department this year. Those who are clever and capable in the creative arts have certainly enjoyed their problems and the results of their efforts. Others have been pleasant- ly surprised in the discovery of latent ability, through the development of patience and technique. Lettering, design, spacing, stencil- ing, water colors, pastels, pen and ink, black and white, posters, life drawing, and compositions, still life and perspective have been enjoyed. The advanced art class did lovely work in stenciling and many pieces were sold. Much interest has been shown in the costume design class and many hope to be able to include it in their program for next year. Mary Shepard Jones Ddevoted itself t the band music and marching technique. When the marches become standard in the repertoire, concert work received the greatest attention. The string class studied the history of music through the medium of stringed instruments. The politico - social structure of each period of history was briefly investigated. Where possible, the class attempted to discover the musical characteristics through the study of the actual music itself. The class also devoted itself to the achievement of a concert level of performance on a few major compositions. The chorus studied music representative of all periods and styles, from Bach to Fred Waring. URING foot Margaret Cartwright

HE objectives of the clothing classes are to know the necessary sewing equipment and to acquire ability in using and caring for these tools, to acquire a knowledge of suit- able materials, and to develop ability in making garments. An understand- ing is taught of patterns, materials, colors, 'and styles which will be suit- able for the individual girl. Apprec- iation for clean clothing as an aid to health is developed. The advanced clothing classes obtain extended study of suitability and becomingness in dress through more complicated prob- lems such as contrasting present day styles to costumes of former periods, work with wools and rayons of more difficult design and finish, planning of complete outfits, and learning just what the well-dressed girl should wear.

There are also other less tangible aims. Through team sports can be learned valu- able lessons in cooperation, good sportsmanship, self-confi- dence and leadership. Individual activities, such as tennis and dance, help prepare for leisure hours after graduation. More crowded this year than we have been for some time, the girls' physical education plant has been in full time use. This was made possible when Mrs. Thatcher stepped in to take the sixth period class. She has been ably assisted by Virginia Gregory, Judy Hyatt, and Bobby Wilson. Jean Moss Hugh Harrison l L I
