Fine Arts Education is not an end in itself, but rather a means by which the cultural aspects of living- are made clear. Chorus, band, home economics, the library offer the student valuable training and necessary exposure to the world of fine arts. With the emphasis on learning, music is encouraged, homemaking is stressed, reading is accentuated as a supplement to the study of facts and principles.

Also, the par- ticipants learn to meet and face situations which possibly will occur in the future. Charles M. Foulds Fred J. Muhleman Earl W. Hill Clarence R. Weaver Donald 0. Young
