Commummizbm In order to communicate our thoughts and feelings we must depend upon our ability to read, write, listen, observe, and speak. It is upon this foundation that all educational experience is based, and apart from it little education is possible. Skillful communications makes life more meaningful for us, and makes possible a greater understanding of one another. But we learn more than grammar . . . ultimate truth and metaphysics mingle with basic language construction in Mr. Tripp's informal class discussions . . . his Falstaf- Han humor makes him a favorite on the Shimer campus. Adventures in Europe are mixed with French to give the cosmopolitan flavor to Miss Thoreen's French classes . . . her humor and casual comments enliven the studious atmosphere . . . we will all remember Miss Carreno's earnest teaching, and skillful dancing, which added a genuine Latin-American air to the Spanish grammar. Studying Communications has taught us better to convey our ideas to one another and has shown us the place of language in our lives. 28

,f 1 A From left to right are: Mrs. Pooler, Miss Kramer, Mr. Knealc, and lVIiss St. John. Fme Am The fine Arts include the Graphic and Plastic Arts, Music, and Drama. In the classroom, we develop a general understanding of these arts as well as increasing performing skill and arousing new interests. To us the arts act as a refuge from the ordinary. Here, we are able to express ourselves and develop our personalities, and such training, accompanying the other academic work, challenges us to an awareness of the constant need for art in everyday lite. Remember Miss St. ,Iohn's amiable conversations . . . her constant urge for more practice . . . her mastery of the keyboard . . . Petite Mrs. Pooler's subtle humor . , . the friendly atmosphere at her lessons . . . her artistic finesse . . . Remember Miss Kramer's lively good humor . . . her skillful and able directing . . . her polished recitals . . . Mr. Kneale's affability . . . his soft spoken manner . . . his quiet compe-- tence. The fine arts made our spirits rise. J 30
