Arlisls Evoluofe Masters To Discover New Concepisf Actors Learn Through Porfroyol Creativity was expressed through Tivy's Art, Speech and Drama Depart- ments. individuals were encouraged to use their imaginations, shuck off their inhibitions and create. Art students learned to appreciate the beauty of even the simplest and most common shapes, like a straight line. They also experimented with clay, producing some interesting original pieces. While art students re-evaluated the old to discover something new, speech stu- dents looked at current philosophies and related them to the time-tested patterns of the orators, logicions, and I, V poets of old. By engaging in debate, persuasive speaking, informative speaking, and prose and poetry readings, students learned ways of examining and re- stating ideas in a logical manner. Dra- ma classes helped the student to know himself and his responses to other things. By becoming open with one another, drama students gained a bet- ter understanding of people's motiva- tion which helped in portraying var- ious characters. ln drama, as well as in art and speech, students developed a keener concept of their life and world.

Sfudenfs Moy Select From Five Vocofionol Cooperative Programs A wide range of vocational skills were offered this year. Students could choose from a variety of subjects such as draftinq, metal works, woodworks, auto mechanics, agriculture, home eco- nomics, and student services. All the courses emphasized the individual and his particular ability. Drafting, metal working, and wood working classes were taught methods of construction, then were encouraged to improvise and come up with new designs of their own. Students taking homemaking, agriculture, students services, and auto mechanics gained a better knowledge of machines to be used in the home and on the job. Work programs were offered for those who were interested in actual job training. DE, ICT, and VOE courses all taught students a vocational skill, which was developed further on the job. For the first time this year, HECE a homemaking co- operative, was offered. All these courses were designed to help the student cope with situations which will confront him in day to day life. Agriculture students groom a steer for a show-from head to toe. Gary Eubanks the new D E teacher this year, counsels interested students who participate in the distributive education program.
