Qnowinq Spiritually, Shortly after the opening of school, the stu¬ dents felt the need for saying Grace during the lunch periods. After the Bible Club wrote this blessing the Wood Shop constructed two plaques so that the words might be read by everyone. The Art Department lettered and completed the plaques. These three groups, working together, have begun a tradition in our school that will enrich the lives of the students and faculty this year and for many years to come. The plaques now hang in the cafeteria where they are used daily during lunch. Thus we grow spiritually. Time for Grace! 29

Study To Show Thyielf) Ap.fin.oued This year Groveton has had a very active Bible Club. Rita Wyatt, Jackie Potters, Maureen Zimmer¬ man and Mr. Tom Leader, present an Easter program to the Student body. Soon after school opened the club sponsored a chapel before school for all students who wished to at¬ tend and also wrote the Blessing to be used in the cafeteria and led it each day. It helped sponsor a special Easter assembly. Besides these activities which directly influenced the students, a Bible Quiz Team competed very favor¬ ably with other schools. Maureen Zimmerman placed on the Northern Virginia Quiz Team. Club meetings have been held each Wednesday, under the sponsorship of Miss Wood. The Bible Club truly helped the student body to grow together with God and man. Jay Stowell, reporter; Mickey Fleming, Secretary; Danny Rakes, Vice-president; Maureen Zimmerman, President.

The initial art program of Groveton incompassed a full schedule for both the inexperienced artists, in¬ cluding an introductory course for the eighth grade and students who had studied art. In addition to sculpture, drawing and painting, much work was done in basic composition and color design. The stress throughout was placed upon the emotional education of the stu¬ dent using art media as a tool towards this end. Qnoveton ' a Actinia President, Violet Olson Members: C. J.
