1 Communication Through Pictures Art is a learning experience. A student does not learn art itself, though. He uses art to express, learn about, and relate to his world. Art is communica- tion, expressed — not verbally — but through drawing and painting. Emotions that cannot be described with words blossom when command is taken of charcoal, paintbrush, and a little imagination. During the year, the art students used their im- aginations to sketch self-portraits, pencil still life, and paint masterpieces inspired by inner thoughts. Envisioning dreams of becoming channel 5's head artist, Ron- nie B. draws his own portrait (right). Checking out their finished product, art students Opal W.. Tom S., DaviaS.. and Ron S. get into the spirit of Christmas (below). Ron S. admires the scenery the art class drew for the grade school Christmas pro- gram (center). Rodeo buff Daniel H. appropriately poses with his prize horse (center right). Kenneth B. and Opal W. find that getting outdoors to experience their surroundings puts things in a different perspective (above). Top — W. Childress. K. Barker. R Irby, M. Cagle. T. Smart. C.

Since most guys dislike dancing, Pam T. and Deborah F. find that the last resort of dancing with each other at the foot- ball homecoming dance is better than not dancing at all(center right). Getting tne proper attention is something every leader has problems with as this picture demonstrates: All the members are talking among themselves. Even George (Hitler) Thompson, the student council sponsor, is more interested in the members' con- versation than the rantings of President Danny A. (bottom). Student Council — the Unofficial Officials When a task had to be completed or when someone wanted to initiate a novel idea, the faithful representatives of the student body were called upon. Most of the tedious undertakings the council tackled ran smoothly, but occasionally unex- pected obstacles arose such as the time Vice- President Mark Clift had to ad-lib the MC duties during the parade and the time Presi- dent Danny Arnold forgot the queen’s crown at football homecoming. These impediments didn’t squelch the students' involvement, however. The council continued to carry out a number of activities. Organizing the parade, football and basketball nomecomings, selling mums, sponsoring dances, coordinating the Cnristmas door decoration contest, promoting a Valentine assembly, directing the second annual blood drive, and tiying to enthuse the student bodv. were just a tew of the responsibilities the of- ficials thrust upon the unofficial officials.

Learning Through Experience Once again LHS’s Science Club pur- sued every scientific interest they could see and experience. During the year the group trekked to the Witchita Moun- tains in Oklahoma’s Southwest studying geology and the local flora and fana, and to OKC’s Omniplex discovering scientific principles behind every' day occurrences. This year the group was larger than in past years and promises to increase in size as the interest at LHS increases. Science Club — 17
