Waiting for the hike, these junior girls prepare for the next play in their game of flag football. Developing strength and stamina is the job of the Physical Education classes under the direction of Miss LeNore Lewis, Mr. Ward Smith, Mr. Richard Capin, and Mr. William Schafer. When weather permits, gym classes play soccer, speed ball, flag football, and other outdoor sports. But as days grow colder, these classes turn to indoor games, and the boys move to the big gym. Basketball, volleyball, and dancing fill the time until the outdoors beckons once again. At this time Softball fever takes hold of all to close another school year. Students of GHS can now receive some fundamental training of the automobile by signing up for a semester course in Driver ' s Education. Classes are divided into two groups, one group each semester, with three students driving each six-weeks period. The students drive four days out of the week and have class on the fifth day. In these classes they study parts of the car and learn the essential skills of driving. Mr. Pearson shows some of his Driver Training pupils, Dale McLeland, Larry Lovette, and Phillip Sweeney, how to check the oil. Dale McLeland leans out the win- dow of the Driver Education car to make sure the way is clear before he enters traffic. at work, and at play. 25

Working intently on his shop project, Gerald Davis guides a piece of wood through the handsaw. Permeating the air with the smell of good things to eat, home economics classes entice students to peek into Room 20 and find out what ' s cooking. Students under their new teacher, Mrs. Jenny Smith, cooked entire meals and then proceeded to taste their preparations. Since there is more to being a housewife than just cooking, students also learn about family relationships, child care, and home furnishings. Being a careful buyer is no easy matter and pupils are taught consumer education which includes knowing what to buy and when to buy it. Future do-it-yourselfers receive basic training in the Industrial Arts departments under the guidance of Mr. Donald Steward and Mr. William Schafer. The shop students work on and are graded on the projects they do each semester. Mars Wolford watches as Mr. Schafer checks his latest blueprint for drafting. These busy bees, Karen Carper, Nancy Warrick, Jeri Snider, and Donna Emerick, are making clothes, not honey in home economics class. Manual Training increases skill at home, 24

Stressing the finer things of life, the art depart- ments of GHS offer to the students a rounded edu- cation. Such classes as band, chorus, and art are available to the student who seeks to attain a diversified curriculum. Band and chorus allow the student to express himself musically while art allows a different kind of appreciation. Mr. Joel Plum teaches his art classes the finer points of color, design, and interpretation. On the lighter side such things as travel posters, paper mache masks, plaster sculptures and soap figures add fun and enjoyment. Tickling the keys while her students add their vocal contribution, Miss Reba Stemen and her chorus classes do their part in Garrett ' s arts department. The Arts stress the beauty around us . Art students, Don Tarlton, Larry Wiley, and Faith Hathaway, work with paste and nev paper to create several lonique masks wiiich made their home in Room 22 during the year. Keeping instruments in good condition is part of the job which band members do. Here David Frey makes use of Mr. Cole ' s desk to clean and oil his cornet. 26
