Ball Field Supervisor of Student Teachers for Miami University Leonard T Ban This year eight aspiring young student teach- ers helped guide Troy students along the paths of learning while learning themselves. Each stu- dent teacher first observed many classes in his field. Then he took over a class, planned the lessons, lectured and gave assistance where possible. He even made up tests, all under the watchful eye of the regular instructor. We here at Troy High won't forget their valuable assist- ance and friendship. 19

Herman Dooley Fine arts in Troy High covers three separate depart- ments. ln Speech, the students learn the fundamentals of a good speech, the various ways to prepare different types of speeches, and the rules of parliamentary procedure. Drama is more concerned with actual stage work, both in front and behind the scenes.. Stage design, construction, and co-ordina- tion of the physical factors of a production are stressed as strongly as motivation, movement, and delivery on the stage. Students in the field of art work learn how to use watercolors, mixed medium, polymer, oils, chalk, and ink to make sketches and fine detailed prints. The techniques of making clay models or busts are taught, as well as work with thread or wires. Students are encouraged to experiment in the use of various materials for their montage collages including magazines, newspaper, glue, and shellac. Music in both vocal and instrumental development is intensively studied. The marching band emphasizes fast moving music, while demonstrating graceful formations on the football field. The orchestra learns to play all forms of instrumental music, from Bach and Beethoven to Rodgers and Kern. The choirs, freshman, sophomore, and senior, perform during the year, in both student assemblies and public concerts. 21
