And On Addition A wide range of electives are available to students at Warwick Junior High. There are no study halls here, or, saying it another way, every room is a place to study. Each student takes six subjects, and among these each may elect to take art, music, (both instrumental and choral), speech arts, Latin, French, or Spanish. Students also may elect to take home economics or industrial arts. Mr. Chavatel and Mr. Montgomery are our art teachers; Mr. Nims and Mrs. Poindexter teach Latin; Mr. Bruno is band director; Miss Setzer teaches speech and drama; Miss Feist teaches French; Miss Bayne teaches choral music; and Mrs. Windley teaches Spanish. Our band is considered to be one of the outstanding such organizations in this area, year after year. The art people have earned a tremendous reputation for service to the school and all the other organizations in the school. Aside from the teaching of art, in his classes, Mr. Chavatel has an art service club which is always busy doing art work, illustrations, posters, decorations, and soon, for school groups. Latin has become a great favorite here, and the French classes and Spanish classes are popular, too. A new group this year is our mixed chorus, led by Miss Bayne. 5ft ese teach art, 6a nd, choral music, speech arts 3xench Latin, ana Spanisft Seated, left to right: Miss Setzer, Miss Feist, Miss Bayne, and Mrs. Windley.

s y£ The picture above shows students at work in o ie of the two main school shops. The instructor in this shop is Mr. Hughes, and most jobs done here are concerned with wood- working. Boys learn correct use of a number of power tools as well as hand tools. Mrs. Orr, one of the homemaking teachers demon- strates childcare for future homemakers in one of her classes. All phases of homemaking are included in the courses in home economics at Junior High. The picture below catches two home economics girls checking the oven to see what ' s cookin ' . The home economics students have the benefits of using modern, efficient equipment, and the purpose is to learn to use it to the best possible advantage. Mr. Brown watches two of his students, (below) as they check electrical equipment in the shop. The use of test- ing meters and other devices is one of many valuable lessons learned as the boys go through these shop experiences. R ■ ■ M 1 « r i
