Step by step we conquered the intricacies of many a for- eign tongue - French, German, Italian, Span- ish, and Latin. We struggled through Caesar's Commentaries and German script, but we saw our star shining somewhere beyond us, giving us hope that we would soon be able to think in the language.

W. RAYMOND RANDALL LEON R. CORLISS ELFRIEDA PFEIFFER I The Rainliow of Tones emitting from the portals of SHS originate from our stellar Music Department. G-Clefts and fortissimo's are di- rected by Mr. Raymond Randall, whose me- lodic courses give us bounties of musical knowledge. Bach and Beethoven find voices here, while the arresting tones of the A Cap- pella Choir send rivers of rhythm gushing down each corridor. Amid this maze of mel- ody, the Sophomore Choir can be heard trying their voices, while sweet tones emit from-the Girls' Choir. Clash of cymbals punctuate a Sousa march, and Tschaikowsky themes spill from the audi- torium's portals as the orchestra and band contribute to the merry-go-round of melody that makes up the lasting tonal quality of our own Music Department.
