New Programs Inaugurated Fl RTS A Silk-Screen Processing Center was established this year by the Art Department which enabled students to make posters for publicity purposes for the Fine Arts Division. Students in the Basic Design Class did the actual designing of the various posters to advertise concerts, plays and other programs sponsored by the Fine Arts Division. A Co-Educational class in dancing was also established this year, which taught folk, modern, social and tap dancing. The class was a joint effort of HCI C and the Athens Little Theater Group and was initiated in order to develop interest in dance on the local level. Charlotte Graham, a part-time instructor, taught the course. Maryln Nichols taught Guitar, a new course in Music. The course covered the fundamentals of music as related to the gui- tar, and included techniques for the beginner as well as methods to improve the skills of the more advanced guitar player. The course was well received , with a beginning enrollment of twelve . Lois Cullipher aided the Art Department in the fall semester as a part-time instructor. She taught Introduction to Art and Basic Drawing under the direction of Lois Maxwell. This Department offers courses for those students majoring or minor- ing in Art or Elementary Education, or for those simply inter- ested in art as a hobby. The departments included in the Fine Arts Division include Music, Art, Speech, Drama, Dance and Cardettes. YJ' Ricky Williams, Gary Ballard Rod Dickerson Gary Reaves and Marilyn Miklis make up the rhythm section of the Band Band members practice hard to perfect their musical skills. 162

Amplification in All Areas LA GUAGE ARTS Emphasis in English was placed on channeling toward application of traditional ideas to contemporary life, and making those ideas relevant to today's world. More emphasis was placed on analysis of subject material not just mere gathering of facts. This was done by dividing the sophomore English classes into groups. In groups, students were freer to express their opinions and exchange ideas. This combining of ideas was helpful in working toward the group term papers. ln one class, for example, the traditional written term paper was composed into the production of a play depicting Greek gods. The program for foreign students was intensified with oral and teaching techniques in helping them to communicate better. Mrs. Enriqueta Freeman was hired as a part time teacher in Spanish and English for foreign students. Jim Batten taught part- time in Journalism . Eight full time teachers are in the Language Arts Division which includes English, Foreign Language , Read- ing and Journalism. Faculty members from Language Arts were judges in the annual U.I. L. literary, ready writing, and spelling events held in the spring. fag. WAV' Wm Ernest Holland, instructor, assists students in the English for Foreign Students lab.
