LANGUAGE Our Language Department has been greatly expanded this year. French has not been taught here for many years, but it has been brought back into the curriculum. Mrs. Knapp took one period a day to teach first year French, which is open only to juniors and seniors. Also, Spanish was reopened this year, taught by Mrs. Dickey. Students from grades nine through twelve were able to enroll for one of four classes offered daily. Latin ll was taught to give last year's La.tin I students a full credit before the language is abandoned here. This course was taught by Miss Henry. All foreign languages are two-year electives, taught five times per week. MHS. MABEL DICKEY Spanish and English MISS JANET HENRY Latin MRS. MONA KNAPP Social Studies and French

MR. ROBERT ENGLISH Music Music gives many of us hours of pleasureg it often relaxes and soothes our tensions. However, to receive the full benefit of music, we all need to develop- sensitive and intelligent listening habits. This is the main purpose of music and the chief reason why it is required in seventh and eighth grades. It also provides the students with an opportunity to express themselves in music. They gain additional knowledge about the instruments of the orchestra and band and learn some musical his- tory. If students at the end of the eighth grade feel that another year of music would help them develop their musical appreciation to a greater degree, they may elect it in ninth grade. v Y nl-L, if -Y - ' ' 1, l' L Y V I. - Y , li' - , I. ,, Y --V- E MUSIC Classes in Visual Art are taught to students in grades seven through nine. The classes are con- structed to give the students an understanding of the significance of Visual Art. Mr. Carl Campbell tries to impress upon his students the uses of art in their everyday lives. The objects of art class are to develop alert- ness, understanding, and self-realization. Art brings out those things which arouse admiration, approval, or pleasure in human beings. MR.
