“A picture paints a thousand words.”’ Mrs. Cosby-Smith, a believer in this maxim, says that ‘‘art is the expression of one’s inner self.’’ Gifted students, as well as beginners, took art this year to learn more about the concepts and elements of design.

All students were taught vocabulary and the basics of proper sentence structure, but freshmen and sophomores were given a dou- ble dose of good old-fashioned grammar. American and British literature were studied in junior and senior English classes. Among the favorite selections studied were Huckleberry Finn and Canterbury Tales. The dreaded research paper was not a favorite however. The English curriculum also includ- ed English as a second language, reading, and drama classes. On oc- casion students went outside the classroom to visit the Virginia State Library, the Virginia Museum Theater, and Camp Theater at the University of Richmond. English 101

Music students sold cheese, sausage, and fruit this year in order to pay for new sheet music, band trips, and an electric piano. This was only one of many ways that they showed enthusiasm and dedication for their subject. In the classroom both vocal and instrumental groups were instructed and rehearsed in music of varying styles and periods as they prepared for public performances both on and off campus. For students who wished to express themselves in areas other than concert and traditional forms of music there were the Stage Band and Expressions. In these groups individual im- provisation and creativity were the rule rather than the exception. Strummin. Mrs. Hanchey instructs a student in Henrico’s first guitar class. Fine Arts 103
