w 4 t l JOHN HADSELL Band USIC The band at WHS plays a very important part in the school life of the student body. In the fall the band performs in precision drill routines during the half-time of all home football games. Also as a part of these routines the pep club helps the band with their performances. During the 1967 season the hand put on five such performances. One of these routines, which was a crowd pleaser, was a routine featuring Mr. Glen Baptis. In this routine he plays the part of a politician. During the year the band presents the public with two major productions. In the winter season, the band presents its first concert and again in the spring they put on a second concert. The band has been in a rebuilding year under the direction ofthe new band master Mr. John Hadsall. The spring of the year is always one of the busiest times for the band as they not only prepare for their spring concert but they also prepare for their trip to Wichita to present their solo's, duet's and many oth- er arrangements for the State Music Contest.

CATHY C000 Latin LA GUA GE In Spanish at the high school level we try to spend as much time in class as possible on oral work. A bas- ic knowledge of grammar is essential at first, then a practical use, more as the year progresses. This is done with a combination of oral drills in class and with the tape recorder. In Spanish II this is done with more outside work such as reading books in Spanish and everyday conversation in class. In Latin we try to see where the Latin language was incorporated and is used in t0day's modern Eng- lish language. R. T. Tapes are helpful in learning a foreign language. seams.

The effectiveness of your library is determined by your use of its resources whether in the library rooms or in classrooms, shops study centers or for leisure use. They library acquires books and materials to meet the demands of the curriculuni and organizes these materials for effective use. The library serves a definite' teaching function - new interests, new books, new refer- ence sources - all are sources of infor- mation and knolwledge to which 'the library may introduce the student. The school library leads the way to more complete use of the public library and of the college library. D. T.
