Music In The Air The Music Department, under the direction of Mr. Edson Kimball, has succeeded in creating student interest and par¬ ticipation in the pleasant world of music. It is through this appreciation of music that we grow to know the temperament of people from countries that we have never seen, and, in this way, become truly capable of understanding human na¬ ture. By means of band, orchestra, glee club, and music apprecia¬ tion classes, the Music Department of our school not only has added to our appreciation of music, but also has contri¬ buted to the invaluable qualities of school spirit and pride so vital to all phases of school life. Mr. Edson Kimball Orchestra rehersal. The Glee Club entertains at the Christmas program.

Buttons And Bows Miss Barbara A. Dunbury Coordinator of Home Economics Junior and Senior High Schools This year the brigade of happy home-makers could elect, for the first time, Home Economics as a full-time course. Many members of the Senior Class have taken courses in clothing instruction and fami¬ ly living. Most of the clothes made by these able girls have that “store-bought” air about them. The courses on family living centers itself around the young adult—her problems, her joys. The enthusi¬ asm these girls have shown indicates that Christian Dior may have competition in a few years. Miss Helen R. Sheeran, Librarian Miss Anastasia G. Canty, Assistant Miss Dunbury demonstrates the correct method of threading a machine. Library Rotates Most likely, there aren’t any people who have ever heard of a library that rotates. Ours does; that is, it rotates its classes. Al¬ most every period of every day a different English class or, occasionally, another class is using the library. This is done not only to ascertain that every student knows how to use the library, but also to reveal to all stu¬ dents the wonderful learning contained in this one, significant room. Indeed, the library does rotate, and small wonder that so many profit by its constant activity!

Athletic Facilities To Be Expanded Woburn High has endeavored to give to the growing individuals of the student body both physical co-ordination and appreciation of good health. The Physical Education De¬ partment has also given to the students a comprehensive understanding of and practice in the physical skills and safety. Futhermore, the growing population of Woburn has necessitated an extension of the present high school. Future students will have many advantages and much to be proud of in their new facilcities. Within three floors the gym will contain, among many other advantages, a doctor’s and a nurse’s office, a corrective room, a coaches’ office, and a vast, beautiful gym. It is certain that in the future the fine athletic spirit of Wo¬ burn High will be redoubled by these magni¬ ficent new provisions for the health and physical growth of the student body.
