Why? When? Music Lovers where? and BY Whom? are a few of the questions about music hashed over in each meeting of the newly born music appre- ciation class. The idea of a composition class was first conceived by Unions aspiring composers, but not enough students were courageous enough to tackle this awesome class, so, to compromise, the present class was formed, Little known facts about the lives of composers from Bach to Gershwin are discovered at nearly every meeting of the class. Enjoying the peculiar sound of a harpsichord are: Nelson, Ranta, Van Houten, Nance, Reynolds, Brown, Koppenol, l-lusted, Ritums, and See, BAZUIN, CLAYTON W BAZUIN, IUNE S.

Mrs Crossman, Personnel Adviser Who knows the most about almost everyone in school? Helen Olson and Mary Felmer, of course! From 8:30 AM. to 3:30 P.M., Union's office girls make out bulletins, answer 'phone calls, keep endless records, and comfort shak- ing students when they must be reprimanded by Principal Everest for being bad, Union's office can well be compared to a busy beehive. 'Mrs. Hunt and Miss Noble, Librarians lf a person were to eavesdrop at Mrs. Crossman's of- fice door, he might hear: Mrs, Cross- man, these adjunct phrases are ter-riblel Will you help us? - Young man, your homeroom teacher tells me that you have not been arriving at school on time for the past two weeks! - Oh golly, this four year plan simply won't come out right. These are just a few examples of the innumerable problems with which Union's patient personnel adviser must cope. Some of her unending duties include supervising the Kuder Preference testsg going to junior high, rural, and elementary schoolsg to tell incoming students about life at Union, helping seniors to secure jobs or to choose the right college. They Help Keep Union Moving .it f-i X- 'c,,...,,, Miss Olson and Miss Felmer, School Secretaries All through high school, students see the same old movies on how to wrestle successfully with a library. After absorbing all this knowl- edge, dilemmas still arise and librarians be- come indispensable. Anything from Claudia to Plutarch's Lives will be placed in a stu- dent's hands, almost as soon as he requests it, by Union's helpful librarians, Miss Noble and Mrs, Hunt. 23
