Ar ts Students are active in practical arts Many students' extracurricular activities were completely dominat- ed by a practical art. These include: FOREIGN LANGUAGE, BAND, CHORUS, SPEECH, JOURNAL- ISM, and PHOTOGRAPHY. The FOREIGN LANGUAGE DE- PARTMENT'S goal is to help stu- dents fulfill the two year college en- trance requirementf' said Mrs. Jeanne Kauike, department head. The department has added three teachers to the faculty this year be- cause of its increase in size. The BAND consists of 175 stu- dents all dedicated to achieving the same goal, superiority in every per- formance. Their goals were reached when the band scored superior rat- ings at every contest this year. CHORUS is made up of a female chorus, Chorus I, Chorus II, and Ad- vanced Chorus. The chorus is striv- ing to make choral music a vital part of our school, stated Dr. Larry Reed, choral director. Escambia's SPEECH class com- peted in the Escambia County tour- nament as well as the Catholic For- ensics League. With an average of fifteen entries per tournament, Es- cambia had eight students eligible for regional competition where they will compete to go to nationals, in New York. The J OURNALISM class worked all year to prepare themselves for future positions on the yearbook or newspaper staffs. Students in PHOTOGRAPHY I were able to study different areas of photography.

Students were also given ac- cess to the departments new com- puter lab. In DCT, students who had enough credits were able to uphold steady jobs during the school year. This is done by attending four classes and spending the remainder of the day at work. GEORGE STONE provides stu- dents with skills for entry-level jobsn explains Mrs. Roe Patterson, department head. Fifty students were involved in GEORGE STONE this year. The INDUSTRIAL ARTS depart- ment provides students with a foun- dation of knowledge about industry and technology. The Industrial Arts students, along with other activi- ties, held exhibitions at the fair. BCE, like DCT students, split their days between work and school. Most BCE students were for- tunate enough to receive highly rep- sected jobs that involved working in an office atmosphere. One hundred twenty one students enrolled in Escambiafs RADIO and TV class this year. The department goal was to offer varied curriculum in electronics. fi ,, opposite page 1. Marvie and Johnjam. 2.
