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 .

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
