Mr. Riddick Leaves Pembroke To Become Students in the Art class busily finish their final copies of their projects for the week. “How do you shade a flower?”, “At what temper- ature do you bake a pie?”, “Can’t you follow the notes in the book” Questions such as these were often put to the students taking Art. Students were given the opportunity to study Music, Art, and Home Economics as electives. In Home Economics, students learned to cook, to sew, and to serve balanced meals. Art students were able to work with more than just two-dimensional art. They constructed masks, molded pottery, and designed reliefs. The chorus gave concerts alone and with the aid of the band. The Fine Arts Department added culture to the curriculum and gave students a break from the aca- demic subjects with a chance to express themselves creatively. ki I • High SchooL Marching Pirates ft Hampton Virg inia The drum section of the band compares notes before the beginning of practice.

New to the department was Building Trades. “It is an exploratory course in the areas of masonry, carpentry, and plumb- ing.” Many students also had the opportunity to attend the Vocational Technical School where they studied their chosen vocation in greater depth. Some students also had jobs after school to give them additional vocational training. Mr. West discusses the Band concert with students Debbie Pierce and Linda Myers.
