Mr. McDuffie and Milton Gissendanner ART AND DRIVING TAKE TALENT Sprayberry's art department offers a variety of classes such as fibers, photo- graphy, BASO, drawing, painting, cer- amics, and print making. These classes give students a chance to find out how talented they are. Mrs. Boyd comments, Art is very important because it affects the whole student, not just his mind and intellect. Art can make a student feel good about himself and his environment in a relaxed atmosphere. Art also involves feelings and perceptions in addition to just thinking. In order for a student to take art, he should be willing to give a little of his time and patience to his talents. Peering over the dashboard and through the spokes of the steering wheel, many students get the chance to sharpen their driving skills behind the wheel in Drivers Education. Dodging those trucks on highways 341 and H75 is just one of the skills learned by eager students. Students ' 'Qwvf'-A ax. , learn the proper procedures in driving and even though a few students take Drivers Ed just to knock the price of their insurance down, they end up filling their minds with the correct way to drive an automobile. Mr. Gissendonner and Mr. McDuffie are the two teachers who have made it possible for a student to know all the facts of driving. Mr. Gissendonner 81 Mr. McDuffie have made Sprayberry's driving program a great success in Cobb County. 161
