Self Expression A Course Goal ARTS AND CRAFTS Three year art veteran Buddy Austin exhibits his skill as he puts thi finishing touches on his first acrylic painting of the semester. We're all going to have spare time, so one of the main goals we have here in the Arts and Crafts department is to kindle interest and help develop skills in areas that might become a hobby or even a source of income. stated art teacher Mrs. Jackie Gwinn. Art is bound to catch one's attention in one way or another. There were dozens of projects offered, such as rug hooking, salt block and wood carving, paper mache', painting and many other artistic endeavors.

Varied Program Offered PHYSICAL EDUCATION Making students physically fit was the assumed task of veteran teachers, Ron August and Larry Thompson, as well as first year instructor Pam Casteel. During spring and early fall, students benefited from the fresh air and sunshine outdoors, while playing flag football, softball, golf and other sports. As winter and rain closed in, the program moved into the gym and its surrounding balconies. Volleyball, basketball, tumbling and gymnastics were activities of both sexes, while only the girls completed a unit in self-defense. Another sport enjoyed by all was bowling which concentrated on bowling basics every other day for three weeks. Boy's classes enjoyed killer-handball and weight lifting, both strenuous activities that taxed bodies and minds. Because PE was an activity-based program, participation and attendance were two major factors used to determine student's grades. In addition, sportsmanship and skill were also considered. Athletic PE and Rally Squad were offered eighth period and provided time for developing routines and planning activities for rally while allowing athletes the opportunity to keep in shape in the off season.
