French, Spanish, and German were offered to an ever increasing number of internationally minded students. From the Language Lab came the sounds of gutteral whis- pers and trilling R's, with an oc- casional rousing song drowning out the rest.

For the child-care unit, real chil- dren were used as classroom examples. The girls made dolls and toys for them to use. In addition to making the usual sewing projects, classes also helped with costumes for drama productions. Nlarolyn Barker

Florence Mallery Creighton Harrison ants Ano cnafts Arts and crafts classes en- couraged students to ex- press their sometimes hid- den creativity. Handmade artifacts of everything from clay dragons to cot- ton-weave material deco- rated the walls and show- cases throughout the school. Besides being good train- ing for the students, the products of the classes were interesting and oft- en humorous changes of scene for passing viewers. Patricia Gisborne SUSSI1 Iackson

CRAITIA Edward Chilla m U S I C Wayte Kirchner Patricia Gibson Enrollment in this year's drama classes has doubled as has student participation in dramatic activities. Under the direction of Patricia Gibson, students in Dramatics I learned the art of applying makeup, studied the history of the theater, and gained skill in voice control and proper physical movement. Continuing their theatrical experience, students from Dramatics II presented excerpts from Twelfth Night to various English classes. New to the dramatics department this year was Ed- ward Chilla, technical director and instructor of the stagecraft class. In this course, students had an opportunity to work with the lighting, sound con- struction, and scenery. They constructed the sets for all of Sheldon's productions. Under the cooperative direction of Leonard Iohn, Wayte Kirchner, and Paul Stofft, the Sheldon Mu- sic Department maintained a fine standard of quality. The Band, Orchestra, AlCappella, and Girls' Choir performed at var- ious times forthe student body. At the Christmas Assembly the Band provided a lively accompaniment, members of the Orchestra played some recorder numhersg and the A'Cappella Choir added a hearty background to the festivities.
