t The television department has been most cooperative with all other departments of our school. They taped last year’s Humanities Program. The Fantas-ticks”. The Roar of the Greasepaint — The Smell of the Crowd”, and various segments that have been shown to the entire school. Another important cultural society is the school orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. John Gerbrecht. the orchestra provides excellent concerts throughout the year. The Jazz Band, which is under the aegis of the orchestra, performs along with the orchestra and also entertains on all three lunch shifts each week. While performing arts are extremely important to our school, the visual arts, also provide needed variety. Art displays are seen regularly thorughout the year.

While the creative arts are an integral factor of our school, the academics are the main-stay of our students. Those who chose science and mathematics as their major are accepting the challenge of observing and studying nuclear reactors, developments in science and aeronautics, and the effects science and technology have on man. Those who chose English as their major area of concentration delve into literature and its origins from PILGRIM’S PROGRESS to Beowulf”, and authors from Milton, to Poe. Steinbeck to Susann. They discuss the origins of the English language and of theatre, and the structure of our language. Our students strive to excell in these areas and their efforts show each year when awards begin accumulating. At the 1978 Literary Rally, we placed first in Drama. Oral Interpretation. Extemperaneous Speaking, and English 1. 2, 3. and 4. Other awards won were for Spanish. French. German. Algebra I and II. Calculus and Chemistry; Scholarships to Harvard. Cal Tech. Stanford. M.I.T., University of Chicago, Brigham Young. Millsaps. Xavier University. L.S.U.. and the Houston Ballet Academy were won by our students. Other schools which accepted our students are Yale. Princeton. Carnegie-Mellon. Columbia. Williams. Amherst. and Georgia Tech. ■■■■I Calling a G.C.U.S. meeting to order i$ Greg Carlson.
