wtf all l ww .wma of 4'9- Htr! My Many interesting discussions are held in class rooms before and after school when a student comes in to receive special attention in his studies, and in this way improve his work because of greater understanding of what is expected of him. As Literature is a subject which particularly needs individual discus- sions, the teachers of this department spend extra hours with their pupils. Miss Hollem is shown here giving assistance to Jean Clauser, Ambrose Bardelli, Kay Lidell, Mary Winde- mutts, and Robert Williams. As many pupils deserve additional help in their studies, most of the teachers may be found in their rooms before and after school giving assistance to their students. In this way the teachers are able to learn ways in which their class room procedure can be improved to benefit the students and the pupils ways in which to do their work to satisfy the teachers. Miss Fisher, Spanish instructor, is shown above explaining to Mallory Mitchell, Helen Peterson, and Henry Broquist, some difficulties they have encountered in their studies. ,V t . .17 2 FRIENDS Every year a group of music students take il trip to Chicago to see an Opera. These trips are sponsored hy the Music tle- partment to increase their pupils knowledge and appreciation of good music. Before they attend an opera, the pupils hear music from it and are told the story that they may understttntl and enjoy tnore fully the production. The trip made by bus affords a chance for conversation and fun as well. Accom- panying the group on the trip this year to see Carmen were Mr. Elmquist, Mr. Sherwood and Miss Vincer, elementary teachers, Miss Mathre, Miss Dunton, and Mrs. Florence Love- joy Shugars.
