Additions Widen The School Scope! Three new faces were seen in the English Department—Mrs. Crow son, Mrs. Benson, and Mr. Harlan. Along with the new teachers came two new classes. Both a class of Speech and Creative Writing were offered for the first time this year. They are offered in alternate semesters during the same period. The library was expanded, the wall between it and 101 study hall was partially removed and a new wall was constructed. The new wall makes 101 approximately one half its original size. Home Ec. classes remained co-ed for the second year. Two foods classes were offered due to an increase in interest. New Drivers’ Education books were purchased. Because of the decreased size of 101, the Drivers’ Education class met in the Choir Room on days when the entire sophomore class were to be in attendance. 12 Faculty

Popularity Grows With Changes! 14 Faculty Many changes took place in the area of music. The band purchased new uni- forms. Stage band was again organized. The Senior Choir increased in size. The ensemble of singers formerly called Madrigal changed their name to Tapestry. They also expanded the types of songs they will be performing. One of their scheduled performances included a dinner theater concert at the Branding Iron. One of the major changes in the junior high schedule concerned art and music. Both the 7th and 8th graders have art 3 days a week, and music the other two days. This makes it possible for all of the junior high students to be in Junior Chorus. The popularity of the classes held at the Vocational Facilities continued. Area students participated in many of the varied curriculum offerings there, such as Health Occupations, Building Trades, and Auto Mechanics.
