Music and Art A wide variety of courses are offered to those students interested in further developing their artistic talents. General art, advanced art, un- derstanding art. and commercial art courses are available. The commercial art class promotes the learn- ing of pen and pencil sketching and other techniques suitable for cover designs and other areas of the field. Miss Schoeler's groups have practiced the Cubist type of painting, which is an abstract style. Units in color and design. and water color proved an important part of the program. Of special interest in art general classes'is the leaming of Chinese Sumi painting. The technique is tricky: the student must hold his pencil in a manner different from the Western form. No lines may be corrected. The Chinese way of art is like life: what one has done one minute can not be corrected or changed the next.

Sophomore students work in Western European History. Am- erican History was offered to a limited number of Sophomores this year. These same pupils will be able to take World Prob- lems their junior year, and an elective course their senior term. New asset to the department this year is the Oregon Pro- gram. Purpose of this program is to provide instructional ma- terial for teachers, especially in Social Studies. An artist-tech- nician was engaged to design maps, charts, and transparen- cies for use in classes. New overhead projectors, transpar- encies, and copy machines were put to good use. One student was selected from each senior social studies class to represent Roosevelt High School as a legislative intern in Salem. The students set forth on March 19, return- ing March 21. Each student was assigned to a representative to act as his honorary page during his stay. The pupils attended committee hearings and other meetings of importance. Team teaching was instigated in the Social Studies Depart- ment this year. Senior students were given the opportunity to voice their opinions on current affairs through panel discus- sions and question and answer periods following lectures. MA., Colorado State College of Ed Social Studies Mr. Bergstrom is all smiles when it comes to teaching seventh period social studies class.

At present, records and ear-phones are used to aid in teaching language courses. In the future live television broadcasts will be received direct from foreign countries in their native tongues, which will further influence study in this rapidly developing department. Demand for a complete four year language program is increasing. When instigated, this program will include a three year course of conversation, com- position, and grammar. Workbooks and practice records will be available for each individual student. Emphasis will be placed primarily on the audio'-oral ap- proach although grammar will definitely be included in the curriculum. The fourth year course will be devoted to the study and analysis of the great works of foreign authors. 16 If K in. V, v, -, .Q . Mr. Smith holds a language lab with his seventh period class
