English Dept. Tries For Triple Stress Providing in-depth study and experience for each of the language skills-reading, writing, and speaking-keeps everyone busy. For example, Mrs. Fisher's seniors, who were studying the history of English language and lit- erature, produced a classroom reenactment of an Arthurian legend, Morte d'Arthur. The cast wrote the script in ballad form, adapted a mod- ern tune for accompaniment, and enacted the drama with ah, well, originality.

Beats Time For School Can you imagine a football game without the band? lt wouldn't be the same, nor would many other school events be complete without music department efforts. Surely, no other group con- tributes so widely to a successful total school activities program. The 250 students give an average of about 70 performances yearly at school concerts, sports events, pep assemblies, service clubs and churches, community parades and musicals, and dances. More than a dozen different groups are involved: a marching band, two stage bands, the Pep Band, a concert band, instrumental ensembles, two girl's glee clubs, the Swing Singers concert choir, Spartan Chorus, and Class Voice. For Mrs. Gay, Mr. Cannon, and their students, hundreds of out-of-school-time hours spent practicing and performing for the school and community are commonplace things. g
