ULIhot FI Difference e verything was different. Mrs. Joyce Mauck, thanks to the addi¬ tion of Mr. David Woolwine, was able to teach more Earth Science classes rather than Chemistry as she had in past years. Her classes ventured into the stars by studying astronomy and solar energy. Mr. Woolwine taught two classes, Physics.and Chem¬ istry; then he went to John Yeates where he taught more high school classes. Mr. Woolwine often said that his classes should have taken Home Economics instead of Chemistry because instead of measuring out chemicals in grams, they added a pinch of this, a dash of that. How¬ ever, their calculations usually came out right. Miss Debbie Leavitt, the new Biology teacher, felt it was im¬ portant to study the seasons. She had her students observe signs of the coming of winter. Miss Sally Butler, the only held- over teacher from last year’s math department, taught Consumer Math, IMS, and Algebra II. For Mrs. Barbara Woolwine, a new math teach¬ er, instructing high school classes was a new experience. During the past few years she taught at a junior high school in Hampton. “Mrs. Woolwine has been a real asset to the department ... a lot of ener¬ gy,” said Miss Butler. Mrs. Lena Small was the other new addition. In biology, Lisa Stanley and Debra Akers examine specimens.

Either with a paintbrush or a ta¬ ble saw or maybe a fondue dish. Art, Shop, and Home Ec students created with their hands. Art clas¬ ses learned the fundamentals of style, the craft of contour, and the moods of famed artists. Tony Small¬ wood acknowledged, “I enjoy the chance art gives me to use and ex¬ pand my talent.” For Home Economics and Family Living students, it was how to plan a balanced meal and how to make minor clothes repair. The roar of saws and the banging of nails echoed down the first floor halls as shop students learned the tricks of the trade. It took a lot of talent and a lot of persistance to perfect musical performances. The marching band flavored home football games. The concert band entertained audiences during their Christmas and spring concerts. They took part in vari¬ ous area contests and festivals, in¬ cluding the Dogwood Festival in Vin¬ ton. Choral members purchased swea¬ ters. During one activity period they presented an informal “mini- concert” which featured soloists and songs from popular musicals. The Suffolk High Chorus serves an important role in student life and entertainment. 30 FINE ARTS
