Mrs. LaVerne Ailman and Mrs. Bertha Woodcox inaugurated the Individualized Instruction Program at the beginning of the second semester. GUIDANCE AIDS FUTURE HTINESS It is envisioned through the individualized instruction program that the instruction in the basic academic subjects will be brought down to the ability level of each educationally deprived student. It is anticipated that this individualized attention and experience of success will improve the self-image of these students as worthwhile citizens of the community. Math and English are areas of high concentration. Individual counseling is offered to help students im- prove self-understanding, discuss educational and vocational plans and meet the day-to-day personal and social demands in the home, school, and com- munity. The physical education department’s gymnastics pro- gram was expanded this year with the addition of two major pieces of equipment.

ANE ARTS INSPIRE CREATIVITY Mike Brown, first chair trumpet, represents the talents of the entire AHS band with a difficult solo. 26 There is beauty in everything though not everyone can see it. Some see a lovely picture in a “deserted house settling sideways into the grass of an old road.” Others see an unsightly shack that should be torn down. The study of art gives one that appreciation of the beautiful things, both natural and manufac- tured. The band has participated at basketball and football games, patriotic programs, and the Christmas pro- gram. It has added color to our games and given greater enthusiasm to the spectators with its rousing marches. The band did excellent formation marching, and the spectators seemed well pleased with the twirling accomplishments of the several majorettes. This year’s chorus sang for school assembly programs, women’s clubs in Auburn, and the honor banquet; and also attended the state chorus contest. The chorus presented its annual spring show, “Spring Fever”, with great success. The chorus, under the able direction of Mr. Phil Weck, prac- tices for one of their interesting chorales. Art students transfer their personalities. into their modern creations. Here stu- dents are making ceramics and drawing portraits of their fellow students.
