Arts Promote Distinct Talents Mr. J. Edgar Cullers Mechanical Drawing Miss Ernestine Farr English Journalism COLT CORRAL COLT Quill and Scroll Mrs. Arista Joyner Art Mrs. Chariyne Dodge English Speech Thespians Plays At AHS the Liberal Arts Department rep- resents the students’ varied interests in art, journalism, speech, and mechanical drawing. The art department, for example, displays fashion designs, cartoons, and oil paintings. Journalism students prepare the annual, newspaper, and student directory for pub- lication, and attend seven workshops through- out the year to improve their skills. Besides preparing the delegates for con- tests, the speech department produces the senior, junior, and one-act plays. The skills of perspective and dimension- al drawing gained by students in mechanical drawing classes prove invaluable in later courses. 26 Judy Forbes listens as Mrs. Joyner explains the importance of colors.

Specialists Supply A id, Advice Specialists on the school staff are Mrs. Counts, Mrs. Skelton, and Mrs. Strickland. Mrs. Counts, who is now in her fourteenth year of service, has proved very efficient at helping students who are in poor health. Her sincere interest in each student does much to speed up his recovery. Mrs. Skelton does much to aid all those students who have a speech problem. She spends many hours talking to them, giving them corrective exercises, and encouraging them so that they will continue to progress. Mrs. Strickland, however, does not have much direct contact with the student. Her as- sistance is mostly through the teachers. After organizing and planning the departmental meetings, Mrs. Strickland works with the teachers to determine the teaching methods and objectives for each course.
