CLASSES DEVELOPED MANY TALENTS Mr. William Funk Mr. Lawrence Wilson Chorus Band The Fine Arts classes offered the students many ways of expressing their talents and creative abilities. Speech, Drama, Art, and Music are included in these subjects. Speech classes tried to teach students how to deliver talks effectively, giving each one confidence and poise. Drama was for those who enjoy acting and wish to express them- selves in this manner. Art students learned the basic funda- mentals of sketching and painting while music classes, which include chorus, band, and orchestra, entertained people at special shows, assemblies, and athletic events. Although the Fine Arts program received only light credits, the students who were in these classes, found a method of really expressing themselves. Sometimes I feel like a mothcrless child, sings Janice Jarrett as she practices for a concert. Many hours of work is put into preparing the band for their many enjoyable half-time shows.

PAPER. ANNUAL RECORDED EVENTS Well, would you believe we . . . goofed? asked Nancy Dungan and Pat Yobe of Mr. DeWeerd. Without the journalism classes, our paper, The Desert Gazette, and our yearbook, The Panther Trails, could never be published. Imagine not reading about the latest school activities or having the year's memories recorded for pos- terity! The newspaper staff and the annual staff are sponsored by Mr. DeWeerd. His help is priceless when it comes to meet- ing a deadline for either class. Mr. DeWeerd has been known to come to school on Saturdays or vacations just to open up the room so staff members can work on their various jobs. He is indispensable to all. The Desert Gazette is published about every two weeks and the students receive their Panther Trails a few days before school terminates for the year. Working hard, or hardly at work, part of the Panther Trails staff contemplate about their various sections.
