Music Contests, programs, concerts and a trip to the state fair totaled up to a full year for the students participating in music activities. Serving as a form of self and group expression, music helps a student to broaden his interests and learning. Homer Hopper directed the band, mixed chorus, boys' chorus and girls' chorus. Mr. Hopper also directed the grade school bands in the district and gave instruction in instrumental music. Contest solos and ensembles for both high school and grade school contests kept Mr. Hopper busy. Mr. Hopper sings and directs in mixed chorus.

Commercial Arts Your margin's off, Bob, points out Mr. Garrett. Miss Rempel looks on approvingly as girls sew. The industrial arts department covered an area of study which will be used by some students in future occupations. Herbert Garrett taught mechanical drawing, shop I and II and farm shop. Mr. Garrett was football coach and a sponsor of the J- Club and the sophomore class. Studies of the fundamentals of cooking and sewing through studies in home living and tailoring gave girls an opportunity to further their knowledge of home econo- mics. Miss Rempel taught four classes of home economics and was a junior class sponsor. Driver's education students kept busy studying traffic laws and regulations, work- ing problems and driving. Equally busy was their instructor, Mr. Morris. Flight training ground school was added to the curriculum this year. The fundamen- tals of the airplane, meteorology, com- munications, and other aspects of flying were studied. Mr. Downs, a qualified pilot, instructed the class. Training received by the students prepared them for the FAA ex- amination toward a pilot's license. Mr. Downs reviews a test in ground school. 14
