Enriching The Lives Of Others The Fine Arts Department strives to broaden students minds and provide as many opportunities for creativity as possible. The teachers want each student to share the enjoyment of art, dance, theater, and music. Often the endeavors of these professionals overlap, and they work together to put on spectacular productions of art, music, dance, and theater. Since the completion of the McMurray Center, the Fine Arts Department has flourished. Dance classes began with the arrival of Ms. Leslie Matthews, and when Mrs. Sandra Davis joined the Harpeth Hall faculty, the theater program improved tremendously. Harpeth Hall ' s music teacher Mrs. Ray Berry developed the chorus into a first-class ensemble, while Mrs. Sharon Charney and Mr. Peter Goodwin have raised the quality of the studio art program. This dedicated faculty works together to build student creativity and skills in the fine arts. Mrs. Sharon Charney, Mrs. Ray Berry. Mrs. Sandra Davis.

People You Can Depend On Miss Nan Reed, Ms. Leslie Matthews. Mis. Pat Moran. Mrs. Susan Russ. Physical Education Physical education, taught by Mts. Russ and Mrs. Moran, is a major part of our education at Harpeth Hall. Mrs. Moran has worked at Harpeth Hall for about twenty- seven years and feels that P.E. is extremely important. Her goal in teaching P.E. is to get every girl in the school involved in an individual endeavor and a team endeavor. She enjoys the contact with students in an atmosphere that is more relaxed than a classroom. A unique feature of Harpeth Hall ' s P.E. program is its continuity in building up skills from grade to grade. Students participate in sports such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, tennis, badminton, table tennis, hockey, and Softball. With the combined efforts of Mrs. Russ and Mrs. Moran, Harpeth Hall ' s physical education program is among the best and most active in Tennessee. o Mrs. Mary Lee Manier, Mrs. Eleanor Roberts, Mrs. Elaine Green, Mrs, Annie Trost, Miss Nan Reed, Mrs. Sally Mabry, Mrs. Nancy Rumsey, Mrs. Jean Ayers, Mrs. Peggy Webb. Special Staff The Special Staff at Harpeth Hall is indispensable to the school. Students are probably most familiar with the secretaries, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Webb, who make certain that everyone is at school and in class. Mrs. Webb is new this year, but it is her tenth year working in a school office which she enjoys because she likes being with people. Other important members of The Special Staff include the librarians, Mrs. Manier and Mrs. Rumsey, who help students with English term papers and other research. Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Frost, Mrs. Ayers, and Mrs. Smith are administrative aids in Souby Hall, while Mrs. Mabry keeps things running smoothly at the Middle School office. Finally, Miss Nan Reed and Mrs. Nan Russell help out in other areas of the Middle School.
