MRS JOYCE RICKETTS Journalism I. □; English XI MISS JUDITH SCHUENEMAN Speech Lu MR. TONY SAMMONS Speech I, Debate, Drama We learned to enjoy culture Care for the finer things in life . . . music, drama, lectures, literary works? Courses in music, drama, speech, and journalism help students to appreciate and enjoy culture. Senior Concert Choir, Glee Club, Band, and Orchestra offer music appreciation. This year in addition to the choir's traditional singing engagements, it presented the Broadway musical Music Man with the aid of the Orchestra. Blocking, painting flats, and applying makeup are but a few of the skills students learn in addition to acting during a semester of Drama. To teach students the techniques of effective speaking, several speech courses and one debate course are offered. Leads, cutlines, widows, and rivers are only several words from a journalist's vocabulary. While Journalism I is devoted primarily to the fundamentals of journalism. Journalism II permits an opportunity for students to gain practical experience by working on the Norwester and the Arlingtonian. • » MR HERBERT YENSER Choir. Glee Club MR ROBERT CINTHER Band.

In preparation for college. Senior English greatly stresses composition work. Faulkner, Hemingway. Lewis, Yeats, Chekhov, and O'Neill are but a few of the twentieth century writers who become familiar to seniors. As well as studying twentieth century literature. Seniors read Shakespeare's Hamlet The library is helpful not only for Senior English but also for all the other courses of study.

MISS ANN BUTLER French I. II MRS. ANN DICKERSON Latin I. II Language Teaches Us Understanding Comprenez-vous la fran ais—aut Latine—o espanol—po-russki? During the five years of French offered, students study everything from the basic present tense in the first year to the detailed essays of Rousseau and Voltaire in the advanced classes. After two years of the fundamentals of Latin grammar, studying Roman history, religion, and customs, and reading Caesar's Gallic Wars, students read Virgil's Aeneid and Cicero's Four Orations Against Catiline in their advanced classes. Spanish classes not only learn the Spanish language but also seek to gain a better understanding of our Latin American neighbors. Singing Spanish songs, presenting skits, and working in the language laboratory all add to the pleasure of taking Spanish. On the more serious side one finds the advanced Spanish students reading newspapers, magazines, and learning about the economic, political and social conditions of the Spanish-speaking countries. In an attempt to better understand the Soviet Union today, many students are enjoying Russian. During the four years offered, students cover grammar and conversation, read Bella, and study Russian history. MRS KATHERINE FULTON Spanith II 20 MRS ELIZABETH CLIFFORD French III MRS.
