FINE ARTS The Fine Arts department had a new addition this year, Art. Under the direction of Miss Pam Workman, students can now give way to all their creative desires. Included in this year's program were ink engraving, macrame, watercolor painting, modern sculpture and leather work- ing. Many students showed consid- erable talent as evidenced in the displays in the library. Band and Chorus moved into the new band room in the middle of this school year. A big improvement over the old band room, the new music facilities made the Chorus sound even better. Mr. Michael Thomas was the new Band and Chorus instruc- tor this year. MR. MICHAEL THOMAS MISS PAM WORKMAN

MR. GEORGE McPHEETERS MR. ALLEN BURBANK SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Science usually brings back memories of dissected frogs from Biology, spilled sulfuric acid in Chemistry, or weights dropped on somebody's toe in Physics. Somehow Mr. Allen Burbank survived all the mishaps in Chemistry, Physics and General Science this year. Biology and the dead frogs aren't very dan- gerous so Mr. George McPheeters also escaped unscathed. Hopefully these two fine science teachers will have the courage to return and face next year's students.

7 MR. DAVE RENN SOCIAL STUDIES Every P.C.H.S. student must take some form of Social Studies at one time or another so they probably had either Mr. Wib Ragland or Mr. Dave Renn. Mr. Ragland handles Government and World Cultures letting Mr. Renn, a newcomer, take over the juniors in U.S. History and the seniors in Psychol- ogy. Two language teachers also help teach in the social studies department. Mrs. Messamore and Miss Gullet teach social and economics problems and U.S. History, respectively. All these teachers do their best to try and educate students in Social Studies, an area that is essential in today's complex world.
