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.

Sophomore English Teachers With 1,040 sophomores registered, seven teachers were added to the faculty. Many of these teachers, as well as the students they teach, are new to the high school. Sophomore English is taught on three levels according to the aptitudes and abilities of the individual student, and all three are coordinated courses in literature-short story, poetry, novel, essay, and drama. They also polish up on grammar with original composi- tions written about the literature of their study. A special mythology course, in level one, a unit of good study habits, and even a set of guides for best use of the library, are included in the curriculum. Outside reading, films, and projects pertaining to the unit be- ing studied supplement the program. 28 Jolene Thompson asks Mrs. Butler about her lesson while Tommy Beene looks on.
