atC CHS was greatly enriched by its art and music departments. Stu- dent art work displays in the li- brary and front hall were an interesting break from the nor- mal appearance. While the art department added visual interest, the band and chorus added to the students' enjoyment at many pep sessions and convocations. Foote ball games wouldn't have been complete without the marching Athenians. Solo and group competition by CHS musicians once again brought honor to the Athenians. Art students entered various con- tests on different levels. Music students explored the theory and construction of musi- cal compositions in a newly in- stituted music theory class. Stu- dents created their own melodies during the course. lVlr. Clifford Taylor was the instructor during his first year at CHS. t 3 2,5 ,...avnl--awning Y-.

xpand tudent Interest and Knowledge This year the English Depart- ment familiarized students with literature, writing, and speaking. In sophomore classes, students studied English literature for a se- mester and spent the second se- mester mastering the lively art of speaking. Juniors, on general and aca- demic curriculums, explored the evolvement of American litera- ture through the decades. Making movies, performing plays, and writing research papers helped seniors to expand their knowledge of English. A one-semester composition class was offered for those who wished to improve their writing skills. Upper right-English assignments sometimes got a little com- plicated, as sophomore Greg Jones discovered. Here, he lis- tens attentively as Mrs. Howlett explains the exercise just one more time. Mrs. McCoy, during her three year stay at CHS, taught both general and academic English classes and instituted a one- semester composition course. Unfortunately, at the com- pletion of this year's first six weeks grading period, Mrs. Mc- Coy retired due to poor health.
