Various purchases were made during the year to prepare for complete school division. Chemistry equipment and texts were provided. Typewriters and typing tables were bought for business education. Hellgate band classes ordered new band uniforms and instruments too expensive for students to buy. Welding and metal craft, two new classes, needed shop equipment. A larger freshman class and new subjects necessitated twelve new teachers in a variety of fields. Freedom of expression through music is the most difficult thing to teach, states Mr. Neil Dahlstrom, music department head. The Chevaliers, a mixed chorus, and the Chansonettes, a girls' chorus, both newly-formed groups at Hellgate, were organized and directed by Mr. Dahlstrom. Hellgate Librarian Margaret Frette works with the students six periods a day as well as selecting and ordering library books and magazines. Mr. George Gogas, Open House chairman, discusses art principles with an interested parent. He teaches fine arts, advises the yearbook staff, and heads the art department. His history of art class is new to Hellgate. 27

Devices Teaching aids help instructors in various ways. The auditorium is available to show movies corresponding to material being taught. Tape recorders arc of value in demonstrating many points in such fields as speech and foreign languages. Mimeograph machines, typewriters, and paper cutters are needed in preparing class materials. Mr. Harold Knapp, biology instructor and science department chairman, looks forward to more field work for his classes. He says, Better investigation and more laboratory time is possible since we received new biology texts. 29
