projects, demonstrations add interest to work. Delicately sketching in water colors is Carlos Renteria, art student. He was artist for Junior Prom. Mike Haws is at right. Studying in the classroom is not all there is to learning at DHS. The library gives extra information for research papers, and study hall offers tables for comfort and convenience in using reference books and in writing. Art work gives needed experience and is used for special project assignments in almost all subjects. Students who signed up this year for speech instruction found themselves talking for the first time before a group, and overcame their fear of such an experience. Demonstrations were popular features and assignments this year in speech class. TOP PICTURE shows the “three stooges”--Richard Chavez, Luis Montoya, Maggie Bejarano--barbering each other. BELOW: Darlene Mor- gan prepares bored poodle for bath, and Luis Contreras demonstrates correct techniques in playing ping pong. Having found a quiet corner of the study hall, Tommy Adams prepares report from reference books. Whether for English IV or for American government, these and other seniors spent much time in study hall. 27

Reports, World history students study lessons beside D Hill, which they will remember as part of their own high school story. CENTER: Robert Johns reads report to Ag IV classmates Luis Montoya, Max Rapier, Marvin Sex- ton. BOTTOM: Sophomores, beginning students in typ- ing, find this skill useful for future years. Charts and maps are used in many classes to make understanding easier and learning faster. Mr. Reeves Knowlton was es- pecially glad this year to be able to buy a number of these to help him in the teaching of history. How can people learn to do geometry with the practice afforded by blackboard work? That goes for other kinds of math, also. After a summer at a Na- tional Science Foundation Institute Mr. Dean Hon- singer was more convinced than ever of the value of charts for his science classes. Typewriters are nothing new at DHS, but they are just as important as ever, and the drill insisted on by Mr. H.T. Clothier is just as strict and just as useful as it ever was. Those ma- chines could tell long sto- ries of the tests, the jour- nalism stories, and the typing budgets they have helped to produce! 28
