I0 4 7 Megaphone' ART AND MUSIC Well, kids, l think the Spring Festival is everything you said it was. I looked especial- ly at the portraits you said were your big project this year. Mom was interested in the wooden bowls that the art class had painted. l had no idea that high school students could draw as well as the landscape pictures were done, and the all-over designs looked really professional. I heard that some of the cover designs had won prizes in local organizations. The art teacher there told me that the art de- partment took care ot posters, scenery, and some of the properties for the plays. I had heard the choir sing at some pro- grams before, but it's still a wonder to me how they can all keep in tune so well without the piano. That's a good idea to have instruction in stringed instruments for the beginners. l understand you have a junior band and choir, too. The school seems to have a field of music for every taste with band, orchestra, choir, Madrigals, and even a barbershop quartet. F N-.Q-' The band has O warm up session at the beginning ot class.

After becoming acquainted with vo- cabularly, genders, and conjugations we are fully prepared to rattle off translations like Caesar himself. Again and again we come across many words in our English discussions that are de- rived from words of our Latin-American neigh- bors whose native tongue is Spanish. The study of their language introduces us to Pancho, the gaucho and his ancient con- queror Cortez. One other elective language offered to us is that of German. This gives us a living ap- preciation of the great masters of science and music such as Beethoven, Wagner, and Bunsen. Miss Fardy points out the details of Latin gram- rnar and they all seem to be enjoying it, Hmm! Miss Lemke reads to E hor German class.. ll'uultc-.Shu Iliyh Schools

Woodworking classes turn out real cabinetmokers. Here finishing touches are put on a corner what--not. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Have you ever tried to run a drill press? Some ofthe fellows in machine shop had never seen one until the day we stepped into Mr. Ludeman's class. Now we are running ma- chines smoothly with the ease of old hands. ln most instances our reason for electing a course in lndustriol Arts is simply to equip ourselves with a wellfrounded education in the tricks of the trade. This knowledge will keep us employed at a good job when our four years of school are through. Recently the department purchased a num- ber of war surplus articles. Among the new stock being used by the fellows are: grinding wheels, power hacksaws, micrometers, and machine vises. six lllmlllffwhil Hull! -Y. In Dull?- iim fU.'L'l7lq
