GATE Arrives at Bluestone A scheduled program for selected gifted and talented students was offered to those who qualified with test scores and grades. The students were scheduled six period and would study a different subject each six weeks with a different instructor each six weeks. Subjects covered were Entomology, Mrs. Jones, instructor; music: Back to Rock, Mr. Conner, instructor; Tudor England, Mrs. Sim- BMATERTALS USED ) IN ENTOMOLOGy mons, instructor; Cooking, Mrs. Elliott, in- structor; Oriental Cultures, Mrs. Ricci, in- structor; Horticulture, Mr. Hester, Instruc- tor. One of the field trips was to the Virginia Museum in Richmond for the musicial ‘ Fantasticks.”’ The students gained many new, and probably, experiences they would never have had if this program had not been available. Although credit could not be given because teachers were giving up their planning period which was against ac- creditation policy it was still worth the ef- fort. Mrs. Simmons and Mr. Conner were the coordinators for the program. ES Top Left: (l-r) Wayne Edgerton, Anthony Jones and Dennis New- ton cooking.

Juniors Spare No Expense The Juniors were ready before Christmas with their plans for a Junior-Senior Prom in which they spared no expense. The Band ‘‘Casper’’ was hired for the night in May. All of the materials were in and waiting for the day they could be used. ‘‘Baron Domain”’ was chosen as the theme and the usual dreary gym was transformed into the inside of a castle complete with flags, streamers and castle-like motifs. Most of the money for their event came from the cookie sales held by Juniors each year. The prom was held late in May and was a huge success even if everyone had other par- ties to attend which left the last hour to the chaperones who enjoy ‘‘Casper”’ and ‘‘Baron Country.’’ Top: Juniors look on while Billy Crowder gets the roof ready.
