Emilio Fernandez Warren Frank Duane Fuller Since a few minor wrinkles have been ironed out of the phase system, it has become an extremely suc- cessful addition to the English program. Through this method, students are given a more specialized pro- gram of study. During their first three years of high school, students are subjected to courses in composi- tion, literature, and oral communications. Senior Eng- lish prepares college-bound students for the many difficult writing assignments they may encounter in a continuance of their education. Foreign languages afford an escape from the monotony of everyday language. Many hours of study are required to master any language, but with the help of a fine group of teachers and instructional aids such as tape recordings, records, and the facilities of the language laboratory, many students are able to conquer the foe in three or four years of continuous work. Students are taught the customs and back- ground of the native people while they learn to read, write, and converse in the language. and Sore Fee For those who have a lot- of air and know how to use it, music falls as a natural course of study. The Music Department ,develops students' skills as well as provides entertainment for the Student Body and the community of Henderson. Each year the bancl and chorus present several concerts, and are en- gaged in the county musical festival. The chorus also presents an operetta or a musical. Band members are kept busy with performances at football games and basketball games, and added activities in the spring when the parade season unfurls. The Music Department at Basic is one of the school's most active faculties. Using basic skills, the art students progress from elementary art to the more modern and complicated. An art festival is held every year in which the art students participate by displaying works of art they have completed during the school year. 13

Jacquelyn Anderson Ernest Dee Workman James R. Kibler Cells, Lines Mathematics ranks as a near necessity in the modern world of rockets and computers. The math department covers a large scope from basic general math to a complex course in trigonometry and cal- culus. The higher phases of the program present an interesting challenge to students with exceptional abilities. lncreased understanding of the principles of the universe and the creatures which inhabit it, could easily summarize the goals of the science depart- ment. With knowledge of the processes which take place in our universe, we are better able to adapt ourselves to its ever changing condition. Without this learning we are faced with a world of perplexing problems. George L Crisler W. Chapman Wooten Richard L. Shiles l-999' BUVQWUVCH
