Holp was always needed. Running hither and yon, the library and office help tried to keep the confusion down to a minimum. Just think of how messed up life would have been if there hadn ' t been someone to go around and get absentees. The office sure would have been noisy if there hadn ' t been anyone around to answer the phones. And what would Miss Moore have done without the l ibrary helpers to chase down students with deliquent fines or reshelve books after they were returned? So the next time you run into that nice cool air con- ditioned library or office, think twicJe before begrudging the help their air condi- tioning. Searching through the files for past issues of magazines, Pam Harvey employs the aid of the ladder to reach the upper shelves of Haltom ' s extensive col- lection. Although they got to mimeograph a large number of handouts for the year, office helpers I onda Carlton and Nina Minson never got to run off tests which might have been a profitable business. 56 Cuniculum

We looked to the past to prepare for the future. We were exposed to about every phase of history and government from fighting the Crusades , the Vikings , and fighting the British and Mexicans. Then the Supreme Court and inflation fell under the fighters ' hand. We also studied discoveries, inventions, and pro- gress but mostly we learned about fighting - dates of wars, battles, surrenders, bombings. Two thou- sand years from now when students study history I wonder if they ' ll learn of more wars, battles, and killings. Will history ever speak of peace. When consumer advocate Ralph Na- der spoke at Tarrant County Junior College, the advanced government classes took a field trip to hear him, 1 liked math when two plus two equalled four, but when all those formulas and equations came into the picture, I wanted out of it. Those crazy problems made life a bit difficult for me at times. Mr. Ellis is always willing to give students personal help if he thinks they need it. Here Lannie Noble and Derrell Pagan seek his advice. Curriculum 55

Talents and bodies were pushed to a high degree of performance. We realized our minds would be of little value if our bodies wore out first so PE was an important part of curriculum. From simple walking to the more arduous tasks of weight- lifting, PE students made the bodies better vessels for their minds. The art of woodworking was alive and well in our shop department where we created masterpieces from smooth beautiful pieces of wood. Kenneth Nichols exhibits his ath- letic abilities by climbing to the top of the rope. Carefully, Larry Williams selects wood for his shop project. Curriculum 57
