The main objec- tive was to improve the students’ abilities in tone production, tech- nique and interpretation. Through- out the school year, the students were involved in concerts, contests and other performances. The high school band provided pre-game and half-time performances for sports events, as the choir and orchestra performed in convo- cations, school musicals and for local organizations. This year, the music department formed an electronic music lab. This lab included two synthesizers, several tape recorders and power supplies. Besides the music classes, other groups that benefited from this lab were science, art and elementary students that were introduced to what must be con- sidered the new sound of the twentieth century. The creativity that was found in electronic music can be correlated with all people interested in new concepts of creativity.

MR. WAYNE AKEY: B.S., M.S., Dept. Chr., Geometry, Mechanical Drawing Math, Chess Club. MR. HORACE COOK: B.S., M.A., Math, Assistant Athletic Director, Ticket Manager. MR. RONALD C. GRIMES: B.A., M.A., Algebra, Analysis, Machine Shop Math, Chess Club. MR. L. B. LANGFORD: B.S., M.A., Analysis, Geo- metry, Technical Math, Chess Club. The Math Department had two new courses this year. One course included only the math needed for Machine Shop while the other course taught only the math needed for Mechanical Drawing. This enabled the full time alloted in Machine Shop and Mechanical Drawing to be used working in the Shop. Geometry students used geome- tric designs to decorate a Christ- mas tree for a major project. By employing Christmas to attract their interest, students learned uses for the designs and how to make these objects. The other math classes and advanced math classes were taught by more than one teacher to provide more individual help for students who desired it.
