Ricky Howell, Photographer Derrell Home, Photographer Officials hoped that photography might be added as a class this year, but the ac- crediting committee said it could not. Many students participated in the pho- tography department and receive no scho- lastic credit for it. All are members of the photography club. Equipment for the darkroom was pur- chased over the past four years by The Gov- ernor staff and the Falcon Photographers ' Club. They develop pictures for the school yearbook and scrapbook as well as a few for individuals. Derrell Home and Ricky Howell have been head photographers for the past two years for The Governor staff. Mr. W. D. Joyner has been their teacher and ad- visor and has also done much photo wor k for the books. 25

The number of books has increased by 300 this year. The evaluating team recommended more recent copyright dates, and the library has been working on it. The team praised the fact that magazines are kept for student research by saying it was one of the best magazine sections in any North Carolina high school. The library subscribes to 46 magazines and four newspapers. Important items are clipped from newspapers and kept for student research. MRS. RUTH THORNTON Librarian The Mind Develops Two foreign languages were offered this year: French and Latin. Two years of each was offered. Mrs. Lenore Cox taught all the French classes and was also a teacher of English. Mr. Homer Tripplett taught Latin and English. •French students often used the language laboratory. Such usage teaches students to speak and listen to the language as well as to read it. The lab has individual desks,- each has its own controls, microphone, and ear phones. Second year French students completed scrapbooks about the country. They collected French items and clippings. Several stu- dents began writing to foreign high school students to learn more about foreign languages. Mrs. Lenore Cox helps Barbara Howell in the language laboratory. 27
