Learning how to locate books in the library is a requirement ot sophomore orientation weelt. To Meet Students' Needs Special English, open only to seniors talented in the use of language, acts as a preparatory course for college. The thirty-three students en- rolled in this class devote a large portion of their time to expanding their vocabularies. They apply these new words by writing essays, short stories, and letters. One activity that all special English students look forward to is selecting new books for the library. A certain amount of money allotted for the purchase of books is set aside solely to pay for the new editions that these students decide upon. They spend a week reading stacks of book reviews from the past two years. Then, they discuss their choices in class to see which would not only appeal to the students but also be worthwhile additions to the library's collection. When the books arrive, these students are privileged to be the first to read them. Business English and the new course secretarial English train for the day when Boone graduates must take their places in the business world as typists, file clerks, secretaries, or executives.

English, a vital part of our daily lives, is an extremely im- portant subject at Boone High School. Educators realize that communicating effectively with one's fellow men could solve many of the problems of this turbulent world. With this thought in mind, the English department begins an intensive study of word usage, parts of speech and sentence structure in the sophomore year, besides requiring the student to read well-known literary works like Siler Maurer and julia: CaeJm'. Entering English III, a student goes more deeply into the technicalities of grammar and composition. He is introduced to the literature of his native land, America, by reading the Mary Bryan works of james Fenimore Cooper, Bret Harte, Edgar Allen Poe and Ralph Waldo Emerson. To allow him to apply his knowledge of grammar sentence structure and vocabulary, f' teachers assign research themes. Then in his senior year a student is offered the chance to adapt his English to his own needs. The standard course, English IV, is devoted to a final review of grammatical prin- ciples. Immortal works like The Canterbury Telex, Mac- beth, and Pamcii5e Loft are analyzed and explained in an effort to familiarize the soon-to-be graduate with some of .

Patricia Eden Joseph Martin Students Utilize Outlet For Artistic Ability Delicate precision tools are used in mechanical drawing. A first-year pupil learns the names and functions of the various accurate instruments. Before the prospective draftsman actually starts drawing, he is taught the fundamentals of drawing and the theory of shape and size descriptions of an object. Sheet metal development presents a challenge to a second-year boy. After a student has completed his drawing, he builds a paper model which enables him to check his accuracy. This technical work gives an insight not found in drawing alone. A future architect displays his talents and initiative in third- year mechanical drawing when he designs and draws plans for a house. Not only does the student study the principles of house- buildingg but after drawing a design, he makes blueprints from the plans and constructs a model home using the blueprints, giving him the chance to apply his skills and artistic taste. A world of color, symmetry and beauty is unfolded to the ART STUDENTS work on their biggest project-the Christmas display. Jean Willis, Jo Ann Bartield, Shirley Raines and Bill Raulerson make and paint characters tor the nativity scene. novice art student in Boones art department. Dry, discolored fingertips are the trademark of the sculptor who works with clay to create with his hands something three dimensional. He watches movies to increase his knowledge of techniques used in sculptoring and ceramic work. Landscapes and live models are portrayed by others in vivid oils and water colors, in subdued pastels, or in dark charcoal on stark white paper. Working with these diverse substances en- ables the budding artist to experiment in various ways. Still more variety is available for pupils interested in testing their skill with plaster-on-wire, wood-cutting, etching and collage. Studying books helps the student understand and appreciate famous artists' tech- niques and work. Another phase of art is taught to the nation's future draftsmen, engineers and architects. This medium is mechanical drawing- the language of industry. ef' ffj: N' ivfkf N MECHANICAL DRAWING is opening the way toward more careers in architecture.
