Several concerts a year test the excellence of our music department. Music and Art Red Bank’s musical interludes are provided by an extensive and spirited department, consisting of the various choirs, the Choralettes, and the Band. Many organizations in the area, as well as the school, have been entertained by the Choir and Choralettes. Our highly-praised Band continued to give enthusiastic back- ing to the itinerary of football games and pep rallies. Residents of Red Bank had the opportunity to hear, them in various parades and concerts this year. Through skill and appreciation of the arts and crafts, Red Bank’s art students strive to satisfy their creative drive. A study of the developments of art from primi- tive to modern times is included in the year’s work. Exhibits in New York art museums served as a back- ground for the art students to develop tastes and judge- ment in various fields. The Art Department also sponsored an exhibition of different media of art, selected from the Monmouth County Art Show and placed in the library for the benefit of all Red Bank students and faculty. 2»

Conversation is now the predominant factor in the instruction of a foreign tongue, for a vocal knowledge is more valuable to the student than a strictly mental comprehension. Most in- termediate and advanced classes are conducted by speaking the language. The language laboratory is still in the plan- ning stage for Red Bank High School. Several teachers have attended courses concerning lab- oratory instruction. Red Bank’s department offers three-year courses in French, German and Spanish, and a four-year course in Latin. The first year is devoted to the study of grammar and vocabulary; the second, to further grammar and an introduc- tion to literature; and the third and fourth years, to literature and history. The format varies slightly with each language. Geographic study is included in the language courses.

Mrs. Mary Bierstadt Secretarial Classroom practice in typing, short- hand, and bookkeeping by no means equals actual work experience. Again seniors had the opportunity to gain this valuable experience in commercial enterprises in Red Bank as secretaries and bookkeepers. Distributive Education classes visited New York department stores to study window display methods and depart- ments within the stores. D. E. classes travelled to E. J. Corvette in Trenton, concerned with investigating their large and lucrative sales department. Field trips in this department have proven to be a valuable means of education.
