resignation of Harold

Courses that offer
ed field trips and
opportunities to
travel held spe
cial appeal along
with courses in
sports, music, art,
and dancing. These
were some of the
more enjoyable cour
ses that varied from
the hum-drum books.
Parents wanting

other reasons for
staying on campus.

nine students to do

anyone can tune a

any musical ability.
It took Laub 26 weeks
to complete a 2 year

felt that the three
weeks are adequate
to teach basic skills

field, he hopes that
these skills will
