WAITING to board the plane are Karen Smith and Ruth Edwards in GDDGET GOES HAWAIIAN. Q c JDQG‘o Headlines Productions To explain the work of drama from Euripides to Edward Albee seems a big task, but to the twenty stu¬ dents studying it this year, its just that much fun! Besides doing two full-length plays, GIDGET GOES HAWAIIAN and I REMEMBER MAMA, they have studied pantomimes, monologues, play structure, and history of the stage. They learn to feel at home in the theater—on either side of the footlights. They learn the fundamentals a student needs to be a participant and the background he needs to be a spectator. DRAMA and reading are hobbies of drama and math teacher Mrs. Merle Riggs. SINGING star, Keith Ray talks to pushy girl-friend, Ruth Edwards in first production. 92

' V ' Art Sncourages Creative Ability Art was introduced into tire curriculum for the first time this year. This course was designed to acquaint the student with basic materials and techniques in art. It includes instruction in drawing, painting, lettering, poster making, ceramics, sculpture, weaving, and crafts such as stitchery, jewelry and knitting. Art history gives one an introduction to major periods of art with emphasis on art as expression of the era it represents. Girls who thought knitting and embroidering were to be left to the old grannies found that this form of art was really fun. All students taking art found it exciting, challenging, and a way to express one ' s self in a unique and creative way. KNITTING and painting are favorite hobbies of art and English III teacher, Miss Mary Catherine Moser. ART student, Linda James, sketches a still life. KNITTING art projects are Joy Albright, Becky Cheek, Gloria Terrell, Linda Terrell, and Brenda Thomas.
