MUSIC That music is not neglected is certainly an understatement. Port’s band and chorus are well instructed. Our instructors believe in the fact that to make a good musician, you must begin teaching him when he is young. And the young are taught. We know—for the silence of many study halls is broken by a youngster playing the scale on his shrill instrument. And don’t we see Mrs. Nadal with her attendance roster rounding up the delinquents to attend choir practice. They learn to sing by singing—often. Our curriculum has been briefly outlined. But we must not forget the library, the place where much knowledge is available for the student who wishes to get it. A great aim of public school education is to make the student capable of self-education. And self-education begins in the library. ten Joe Studholmc Dona Tubbs Nancy Wennerstrom

ACADEMIC There are many students who wish to continue their education. To prepare themselves for college work, they study the Academic subjects. Emphasis is placed on languages, sciences, and mathematics. Numerous students leave Port High with four years of Latin and two years of French in addition to English. Physics, chemistry, biological science, the algebras, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and the various histories are also included in their curriculum. Kay Burleson The Commercial course will help some of our students to be efficient secretaries or successful business men. Agriculture will help our boys to take advantage of nature’s goodness and to become good farmers. And perhaps the Academic course will aid in producing the engineers, scientists, ministers, teachers, and scholars who will add culture and vision to the practical and workmanlike. flint Bob Lemmler

But school isn’t just classes. It’s experience, too. Ambitious and energetic individuals have the opportunity to learn by doing. Students have the privilege to develop their abilities and to use their ideas. School is the smaller society which aids individuals to become an integral part of the larger society, the town, state, and world. The smaller society has organizations which need political and business leaders, has a paper and a journal which require writers and planners, and has need for singers, instrumentalists, and athletes. • Certainly, the individual is not neglected and he can assert himself. He learns by experience.
