Mme. Avanelle Learned French Her flair was knowledge of both the usual and unusual about France and her gener- ations of people. Mile. Jeanne P. Perrachon French A true Frenchwoman, she help- ed her classes realize the essence of France and its language. “C’est la vie,” said the French Club members as they continually demonstrated that they realized the importance of study of their language and its culture. On the other hand, the Latin discipuli” were heard to voice the opinion, “Latin is a dead language as dead as it can be. It killed off all the Romans, and now it’s killing me,” as they struggled with declensions, conjugations, and Caeser. But Latin, far from dead remains a basis for all the romance languages. Neither subject, however, was all work. Both clubs sponsored lunches at Le Bistro and skits for the student body. All the while they were assimilating their respective languages into their store of learning. FRENCH AND LATIN The sprawling French club can be identified only by an alphabetical list: Beth Amrine, Jane Bradley, Karen Brelsford, Tom Bullen, Lindsay Caffall, Carolyn Carey, Ken Cobbley, Stuart Cohen, Ellen Dryer, Karen Engstrom, Mariette Full, Kim Fuller, Vicky Gibbons, Linda Greaves, Carol Grove, Jeff Harris, Jane Harrison, Nancy Hills, Jann Hirschy, Herb Jennings, Tom Jensen, Susie Kassel, Candy Kolb, Jane Little, Leslie Lewis, Rand Marcus, Chip Mavor, Steve Nugent, Warren CHvens, Ruth Platner, Ron Rainger, Rik Sailer, Susan Sandack, Mandy Sawuer, Andy Shott, Rebecca Smith, Malcolm Snedden, Chris Strandman, Jon Sweet, Kirk Volkman, Ann Wallace, Sue Williamson, and Jane Woltersdorf. Vice-Pres. Herb Jennings, Sec. Treas. Mandy Sawyer, and Pres. Keith Palmer did an admirable job of managing the warring French. 20

Mr. Joseph E. Miranda Music Daily chapel and early morn- ing choir practice witness his tremendous flair for music. Mrs. Charlotte Burgess Music She steers the Lower School students into an early ap- preciation of good musical tradition. The school has unique art and music departments. Students in grades three through twelve climb the stairs to a studio on the third floor. There, under the direction of Mr. Fox, they participate in projects of importance to the entire school. Such projects include work on scenery, and design of colorful bulletin boards for the main hall and dining room. Mr. Miranda and Mrs. Burgess of the music de- partment performed several times for the student body. Their selections of music graphed the develop- ment of music from the Middle Ages to the present time. Mr. Miranda ' s assistance and instruction was invaluable to the functioning of the choir and to the success of musical presentations during the year. ART AND MUSIC Greatly Expand The Cultural Horizons Of The Student. Mr. George Fox Head of the Art Dept. His skill as an artist and teacher is ample reward for the hike to his third floor studio. Mandy Sawyer and Rik Sailer pause and look up from their work. Many such exotic pieces of art are produced in the studio throughout the year under the direction of Mr. Fox. 19
