The tables are cluttered with sheets of paper as Loyd Nel- son and Leland Helmle work busily on their arrangements of Moon River while Mr. Stanley relaxes. Mr. Stanley admires his new shoe shine during a mo- ment of relaxation while his students work diligently on their assignments. Fine Arts And Language Lab A new class began at the second semester. Mr. Stanley taught a music appreciation class. The four students studied the history of music, listened to records, and transposed music. Six weeks were spent on the transposing of Moon River. The arrangements were tried out by the high school band to see which was the most adaptable. Leland Helmle's arrangement was played by the band at the spring pop concert. This was the first year JHS has had a lan- guage lab. Mr. Antencio taught Spanish I G II, and Mr. Lewis taught German I G II. There are sixteen complete booths. Each student is able to listen to any of ten programs either indivi- dually or as a group. The teacher can talk to the group or to any selected individual at any time with out disturbing the others. He is also able to listen to any student without the stu- dent's knowing it. One hundred and twenty five tapes are available to follow the lessons in the book. This enables each student to study his own particular problem area. The students feel that this lab makes it much easier to study. One must really work to be able to translate as rapidly as the speaker talks. The Spanish II class listens carefully to the tapes which Mr. Antencio plays.
