LANGUAGE ARTS Klein Remembered Attempting to adjust to the loss of an important member of the Comp-English Team and a long time drama director, as well as a dear friend; the language arts staff paused to reflect on the sudden death of their associate John Klein. Occurring in mid-October, his death caused much grief and a feeling of emptiness among fellow teachers. After officials interviewed a number of applicants, Mr. Corby Ward was selected as a replacement instructor for the remainder of the year and those involved made necessary adjustments and carried out their routine duties. Staff meetings were a bare minimum, as the emphasis was placed on classroom application of course goals and objectives. Wrestling with a “bare-bones” budget, the instructors made extensive use of free and low-rental films and readily available supplies like magazines and newspapers. Comp. English II was offered for the first time to those seeking greater depth, with advanced literature, speaking skills and college writing stressed. As more students got work releases, the demand for early classes increased and a number of English classes met that demand. According to Chairman Jim Fairchild, the year went well, with positive gains at least partly offsetting the setbacks faced by staff. 1: Magician Patrick Page visits the Intro to Journalism class to help them write a feature story. 2: Mr. Ken Hankland talks about the future ol Spanish classes at D.H.S. 3: Corby Ward. 4: Mr. Sal Passantino.

MUSIC Active and Vocal As the year came to a close, the entire music department was as active as any group in school. The choir went to compete in Eugene for District 4 ratings and Dragonaires, as usual, performed all over: Kiwanis, Rotary and at many concerts. The band, too, was involved in competition. Of the three contests, perhaps the most interesting was the U. of O. festival in Eugene. Accoustics and the musical environment brought out the best in the performers. The pep band played at the home football and basketball games and they also appeared at the girls’ state basketball tourney. The stage band came into the public eye in February, when they sponsored and played at their own dance. Actively speaking, music was where it was at! 1: Junior Brent Tilgner readies himself lor the down beat. 2: Choir members Debbie Siemiller, Barbara Pope and Kelli Luker listen to a stage band performance. 3: Dallas High's own ‘Buddy Rich Brian Wagner lays down a tew rim shots for the swing choir. 26 Music
