Fine Arts Unite For Festival Individual expression was the key for those involved in the Fine Arts. Members of the instrumental music department took various group trips to concerts in Madison. An extensive summer program was scheduled to keep band students developing their techniques the year around. Mr. Tony Teehan aided during the fourth quarter after his graduation from Youngstown State in Ohio. The vocal department highlighted Hello Dolly . The Madrigal Dinners were performed by the Chamber Singers, a newly formed group. Also new was a presentation given by members of Hello Dolly during a school assembly to create interest in attending the musical. The art department directed its work toward the Fine Arts Festival.

Science and Math Courses Present Science students were exposed to everything from rock formations to sound waves. Science 9 covered basic earth science and human physiology. Experiments determined discrimination times, blood pressure, and the process of erosion. The Biology classes had the experience of dissecting specimens and studying differences between them. They learned of the structures within plants and animal behavior. Chemistry labs varied from determining the diameter of an atom to calculating the molecular weight of an element.
