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

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.

Industrial Arts Mechanical drawing, wood shop, photography, and metal shop comprise the industrial arts division at Roosevelt. The year a new first , an honor club, Metallicus, was formed. Mr. Hilke, the clubs' advisor, said that this club is the -only one of its kind in Port- land, bringing us recognition from other schools. Main func- tion oi the club was an open house in the metal shop. Through this activity many peo- yple became acquainted with the facilities and projects of the class. Interest was aroused this year by the group's mass production projects. Other pr-ojects of spec- ial interest were TV lamps, tool boxes, charcoal grills, hammers, cold chisels, and trivets. Ap- proximately 70 TV lamps were made in the shop this year. Evidence of the growing in- terest in metal work are plans now underway for a third year course. Curriculum will include the construction of wrought-iron furniture, go-carts, and items of a more technical nature. second period class THOMAS NELSON ROBERT WHITE n ROBERT HILKE RICHARD OSTERMAN Mechanxcal and Architectural Dr. Industrial Arts, Aud.
