Students who wished to expand their skills in art had a wide variety of classes to choose from. Courses offered were: Introduction to Art 1 and 2, Silvers- mithing 1 and 2, Creative Crafts 1 and 2, Drawing and Painting 1 and 2 and Special Art Production. The Regional Scholastic Art Contest was held at the Wichita Public Library, February 11-26. Fifteen students from Heights placed in the contest in differ- ent areas of art.

, W- I':?15UXi !iB 101 f Debate-Forensics-Thespians Forensics Win Top Ratings At State Tourney Let's run through our lines one more time Have you found your room yet? I had that judge last time, and he ranked me something like seventh out of eight . . . I lost my voice halfway through that last round. I know it did me in . . . When are they posting finals? . . . WE MADE IT! Undaunted by the mistakes, mishaps and temporary lacks of self-confidence that come with competition, consistent victories at tournaments proved the for- ensics team to be, in the words of Coach Mary Jabara, the strongest in the his- tory of the school? Out of twenty-seven state tournament entries, twenty-three were awarded gold medals, and the re- maining four entries received second place. Health care and the hundreds of cases arising from this topic were the subjects of discussion for debators, as chosen by popular vote of debate coaches nationwide. Debate 1 and 2 were considered courses for credit, but also involved much extracurricular work as the combined classes attended both open tournaments in which any debator could participate, and novice tournaments involving first year stu- dents only. The Thespians were organized under the sponsorship of Drama instructor Mary Jabara, to establish and pro- mote standards of excellence in all phases of dramatic arts. They pro- duced and performed the Medicine Show and a children's play late in the year. Perhaps the most visible aspect of Thespians was their annual initiation day in which new members wore cos- tumes of widely-known dramatic char- acters.
