ENGLISH The English department is charged with the responsibility ot presenting the student with verbal aspects of life. ln order to do this, the subclasses vocabulary, composition, gram- mar, and literature are investigated in vary- ing degrees ot intensity. The disciplined study of these subclasses, coupled with the student's outside experience in these areas, should en- able the student to interact successfully with his chosen environment. Mr. Robert Orr Mrs. John Colford LANGUAGES The students in the language departments read their stories and study their grammar, as always. The emphasis on French as a spoken language is evidenced by many records and tapes, using a variety of techniques and na- tive voices. Cultural research in Latin makes that subject all the more interesting. nsoy Oulu 5- PE .1L5 ',v .- ' I Y:':2:2J::':I:?5i:ZE'f1EffE25'9: -it ' Miss Ruth Sherry Mrs. Marie A.

MUSIC AND ART school. Mr. William Rathbun Mr. Lewis holds a sectional rehearsal of the band. l Developing an ability for expression through tl essay. The Music Department endeavors to create in the students an appreciation of good music and to acquaint them with the great composers and musicians. This is accomplished by their listening to music, singing, learning to read notes and perhaps even culti- vating a dormant talent. An appreciation of music acquired in elementary grades is of great assistance in encouragnig the stu- dents to elect such activities as band, choir and orchestra in high The chief purpose of the Art Departmentli is to create in the student a desire to draw, design, mold-in short, to create a thing ofil beauty on his own. Through the first nine: grades the student is trained in making things with his hands, and in using his own imagina- tion, creativeness, and ideas. This early train- ing awakens him to the advantages offered by the high school Art Major course and helps to cultivate an interest in art as a possible career.
