Fine Arts Encompasses Drama, Music and Art The Fine Arts Department at Pula- ski County High School included band, chorus, drama, and art. The band, choral, and drama rooms offered easy access to the stage of the little theater. The Cougar Band started the year with a band camp at Concord Col- lege in August. In their second per- formance of the year they received a superior rating at the Chilhowie Apple Festival. The marching band was composed of members of the symphonic, concert, and the inter- mediate bands, under the direction of Mr. William Propst. Mr. Gregory Quesenberry taught music theory, history, and apprecia- tion, a new class at P.C.H.S. and directed the concert, girls ' non- select, mixed non-select, and ninth grade choruses. Several members participated in all-regional chorus tryouts which were held November 16th at Emory and Henry College. Mr. Roy Maiden taught the drama classes which included On Stage Everyone, a basic, eighteen weeks drama course, and Mixers and Fixers of the Play Set, a full-year course in which students studied directing, acting, make-up, and scenery. Mr. Maiden also directed Dark of the Moon, by Howard Richardson and William Berney, which was the school ' s first major play production. The art department was located in the math pod, and art classes were taught by Mrs. Martha Ireson, Mrs. Lyndall Mason, and Mrs. Edna Love. Art students learned about lettering, color, form, charcoal, and dimension. Art III and IV students each chose a particular medium and studied it in depth.
