Music Library Art Miss Sheeran is always willing to help. Left to right, Mr. Edson L. Kimball (Director of Senior Play, Band, Orchestra), Miss Helen Sheeran (Librarian, Future Teachers Club Advisor), Mr. Frank Newark (Art, Fine Arts Club Advisor) Mr. Edson L. Kimball, head of the Music Department, is directly responsible for our talented band and orchestra. These groups participate in many school functions and give senior high musicians a chance to dis¬ play their abilities in public. Music appre¬ ciation classes are designed to enrich the students knowledge of the great wealth of music which has come to us down through the centuries. In the Art Department, a course intended to produce a basic understanding of the prin¬ ciples of both two and three dimensional de¬ sign is offered under the guidance of Mr. Frank Newark. Problems basically adaptable to either commercial or fine art techniques are solved, and the history of art is dis¬ cussed. The Harlow Library has a collection of sev¬ eral thousand books, hundreds of periodicals and pamphlets, and a number of filmstrips and recordings. The primary function of the library is to provide resources for students and teachers and to stimulate reading. Each year a Paperback Book Fair is held under the direction of the School Librarian, Miss Helen Sheeran. 16

Home Economics A stitch in time . . . Standing, left to right, Miss Jane Cowhig, Miss Carol Donovan, Seated, Miss Barbara Dunbury (Hi-Teen Fash¬ ion Club Advisor) The Home Economics Department, under the direction of Miss Barbara Dunbury, is now offer¬ ing a course for senior high girls in clothing con¬ struction and wardrobe planning. This class meets five periods per week, two of which are devoted to lectures and three to laboratory work. Per¬ sonal grooming, design, budgeting, consumer in¬ formation are some of the units covered along with actual garm ent construction. In the Shop and Mechanical Drawing Depart¬ ment, courses in woodworking are available for those seniors who desire them. However, the larger part of the program is devoted to the draw¬ ing courses, mechanical and pre-engineering. A beginning treatment in graphic representation is an important part in work training for those who do not plan any further formal education, and is also an important part in the college prepara¬ tion for students planning a study of engineering. i]wr 7 Industrial Arts Mechanical Drawing Mr. Thomas Kilday Mr. Wilfred Walsh
