V1 X Early morning office activities usually included a rush for doughnuts sold by the Student Council. Atop student laughter and loud talking, Ray O. Stuckey, princi- pal, could be found working busily to keep the school running smoothly. Another fa- miliar face was that of Joe Thomas, vice- principal, feverishly issuing make-up slips and keeping students disciplined. An unexcused tardy slip usually resulted in 8 o'clock study hall. Adding the finishing touches to the ad- ministrative staff was school secretary Mrs. Reba Ward. Close to the office could be found Mrs Virginia Long and Mrs. Iris Lansford, coun- selors, whose maior purposes were stu- dent problems, both personal and curricu- lar. The office business, often appearing rushed and disorganized was important to the school's operation and its functional education.

Languages Stress Communication Incorporation of contemporary and traditional subiect matter and teaching approaches gave new life to the language arts departments. Students in Mrs. Betty McGee's classes were excited about the study of modern music as poetry, through Andy Tompkins' inductive method of teaching they became acquainted with all types of literature and learned to write for themselves. Composition students, under the direction of Mrs. Emma Lou Carleton, learned to pen the per- fect approach, both creative and formal. Journalism students came to realize that there is more to a good publication than the average read- er understands. Teacher Mrs. Linda Howard stressed pride as well as accuracy in production. Spanish and French students learned to hablar and parler under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Shirley and Mrs. Elaine Creel. The classes empha- sized both written and spoken communications through use of tapes and filmstrips. Much life was added to the courses by student skits done in the language being studied, and by several trips which emphasized the importance of a foreign language. Pitching cards, the practice of alphabetizing and filing stu- dent report cards, falls the lot of language arts teachers, Mrs. Howard and Andy Tompkins. l --1. v-f Fun time begins at the movies according to foreign language teachers Mrs. Creel and Mrs. Shirley who find film strips a must in the classroom. Audio-visuals often provide the solution to slow moving literature units ac- cording to Mrs. Carleton and Mrs. McGee.
