Headed by Carroll Barnes, the Fine Arts Department was comprised of many different areas within the arts: drama, technical theatre, speech, band, and choir. Although all of these areas fell under the same heading, they all had different goals. For example the goal for the drama section was pro- viding the student with an ap- preciation for the dramatic structure, offering them a work- ing experience in creative pro- duction efforts. Technical theatre gave the students a knowledge of backstage and the workings behind the scenes. To improve the com- munication skills of each stu- dent through speech ex- perience was the goal of the speech section. Both the band and choir sections prepared students to read music and compete. Even though these groups had different unitary goals, they all shared a com- mon goal of giving students the confidence and pride to go on and succeed in later life. The Social Studies depart- ment with a staff of fourteen teachers, headed by Norman Goheen, offered a variety of courses, Sociology, World History, World Geography, American History, Russian Studies, American Govern- ment, Fundamentals of Free Enterprise, and Advanced Social Science Problems. The main goals of the department were to aid students in achiev- ing appropriate attitudes and habits which enable them to become self-directing in- dividuals participating in the state and in society. The department also hopes to teach a respect for the constituted legal authority.
