Music Department The music department is divided into two sections: the vocal and the instrumental. The vocal department, under the direc- tion of Mr. C. W. Andersen, includes the tenth grade chorus, the choristers, and the A Cappella choir. Students interested in vocal music progress gradually from the chorus into the choristers, and finally into the A Cappella choir which is com- posed mostly of seniors. During the year the choir and the choristers present sev- eral programs such as the Scandinavian Festival, the Christmas Concert, and the Spring Concert. The instrumental department includes the orchestra, directed by Mr. Leroy Swanson, and the concert and marching bands, directed by Mr. Oren Henning. Applied music lessons are also given to students requesting them. The marching band plays at all football games held on the Roosevelt field. During the course of the year, both the instrumental and the vocal departments get together and put on several programs or concerts such as the vaudeville show which was such a success that a special performance had to be given. Mr. Andersen also has a small class of organ students who meet twice a week for lessons. Art Department Mrs. Cattron is the head of our Roosevelt art department. The art classes are very fascinating, especially for some of the more advanced students, who may work on clay modeling, block printing, ceram- ics, and other phases of applied art. This year Roosevelt had quite a few pieces in the Scholastic Art contest at the Dayton Company. Award winners were presented with o gold key. Another of the favorite subiects is fash- ion design where the students select fab- rics ctnd then design clothes for high school people. Mr. C. W.
