Enthusiastic Sponsor Stimulates rtistic Creativity The art department is pra- marily concerned with giv- ing its students an apprecia- tion of both traditional and modern art. This year many new techniques were intro- duced so that students who were not inclined toward painting or drawing could express their creativity through other media. The Art Club is composed of art students who desire further insight into the world of art. Under new sponsorship this year, members of the Art Club experienced an enjoyable, active year. Besides the activities pictured here, the budding young artists visited nearly every art show held in this area of the state. Despite their relatively small numbers, Art Club members were able to eke out a year to remember l Mary Laura Gibbs and Tommy Bobers admire student work at the Art Show, in which members of the Club were active participants. .yt f ' Lf,, is ,, L' , f sisy . ix I ' , 1 I gy- 1 Art Club members helped provide this magnificent backdrop for the Olympic style Sports Banquet ir 2 if V '5- ii ' ffif ij . f.

5.4 I--C X, 1 i 'ff a Organizations Provide Outlets for Interest 'SOrganizations at Huntsville High School encompass the entire scope of student interests. From the fine arts to athletics, from national organizations to small local clubs, from groups directly associated with curricula to groups hav- ing no connection with school-related activities, there is something in the all- encompassing clubs system to interest the most blase Hornet. Each student is required to be a member of at least one regularly-meeting club. Wednesday at activity period all students head for club meetings, where they find respite from the tedium of school life. The student may choose from a real assortment. There are 16 local clubs. Depending on his course of study, he may have membership in one of the 10 organizations associated with classroom subjects. Outstanding students are rec- ognized by three national honorary or- ganizations which have HHS chapters. Those interested in student government may be elected to the Student Council by their classmates. This was an unusually active year for organizations at HHS. May these pages reflect satisfactorily the phenomena of group achievement for a very busy- but memorable-1966! AFV' Ml Im? vw
