Fire Mrts Inspire Students Using popular music and especially songs from Broadway plays, the 17 member girls' chorus prepared concerts for school assemblies, home demonstration clubs, and the Rotary Club. At Christmas the chorus sang in the Howard County Heritage Club's holiday celebration. The highlight of the year was their participation in the Arkansas Madrigal Contest at Ouachita Baptist University in April. The first step in learning to appreciate music came with an introduction to the history of music, its origin, and the inspiration for it. Students in Mrs. Donna Daniel's music appreciation class also found that the creative sounds of today's music do not necessarily give one an appreciation for all music. Mrs. Patricia Clingan kept second and third year students busy with oils, acrylics, and pottery. Mastering the potter's wheel was quite messy, but a great deal of fun. During the year students entered their work in several art exhibits in the community. Advanced students did paintings for display at Beaird- Poulan. These paintings were photographed for display in all Beaird-Poulan plants throughout the United States. ABOVE RIGHT- Artist in solitude, leanie Hamilton lingers on an oil painting to get just the right effect. ABOVE- Getting that harmony down to perfection is no problem for Mrs. Donna Daniel as she directs Tina Boone, Terry Wilcher, Debbie Graham, Kathy Floyd, April Ware, Eva Bradford, Lisa Jamison, Cindy Cassady, Cathy Hargis, and Barbra Hawthorne. RIGHT- Inspiration for sketching comes in moments of casual conversation for Lee Autry and Angelor Coulter.

Students in sociology studied the culture of a society to make clearer the way in which people live, interact, and exist in groups. They learned to recognize problems to determine what has and has not been done to solve them. Although most students studied geography from the fourth through seventh grades, world geography is new to high school. After gaining general knowledge of geographic locations, topography, and climates of the continents to create an overall picture of the globe, students toured the countries of the world to learn political systems, languages, religions, customs, and modes of livings of the countries' inhabitants. Topics of study in world history ranged from the theory of prehistoric man to Napoleon, the world wars. Hitler, Charlemagne, Aristotle, Plato, Greek art, and the Boxer Rebellion. Trips to the Ouachita library, reporting on a person relevant to world history, and filmstrips maintained a high interest level. Juniors in American history relived the highlights of our country's past. They discovered America with Columbus, fought in most of the wars, and studied problems, progress, Indian difficulties, inventions and inventors, the moneymakers, the glitter of the roaring 20's, crash of the stock market, depression, the 50's, and Kennedy's assassination. ABOVE - Wracking their brains for the right answers, Charles Benson and Janice Wynn learn that people, climates, land types, populations, capitals and livelihoods arc what world geography is all about. LEFT- The history of our country is interesting to Gaye Goodrum, Judy Lamb, Steve Savage, and Cindy Jones, but Jerry Gardner, Stan Staggs, and Terry Ray find that the present intrigues them more.

Math Muddles Minds With visions of radicals, binomials, and trinomials dancing through their heads. Algebra II students plunged into another year. Students were excited by quadratic equations and confused by logarithms, but in the end they pulled through. For Geometry students, it was proofs, proofs, and more proofs, plus a few theorems here and there. It seemed like infinity, but finally everything came out congruent. The calculators were put back into use in trigonometry class, and triggers wondered exactly how many sines and cosines their little brains could stand. They also reviewed their knowledge of Algebra II and plunged onto the inevitable-identities! 22 TOP RIGHT-An insufficient quantity of old Algebra II books forces Anna Westfall, Randy Roberts, and Brad Frost to adopt the principal of share and share alike. ABOVE-Trigonometry students Belinda Hughes, Charles Archer, Jerry Smith, Robbie Smith, Loy Cochran, Vicki Archer, and Linda Jamison speak a language all their own. Mrs. Spigner introduces a new math sentence on the board. RIGHT-Laboring over a new postulate, Stan Lawrence silently curses those Greeks in 3000 B.C. for inventing geometry.
