MEASURING UP: Mr. Ed Sugg checks a drawing s Wade Beauchamp and Sam Morgan watch. The urpose of this particular project was to learn how to Frank Samuelson ' A Lauren 'rm Ns Sy April Baldwin est Forsyth boasts some very ar- tistic and talented students. Some classes for these excep- ional students included drafting, shop, lrama, strings, band, chorus, and art. According to Mr. Ed Sugg, there was iefinitely a strong interest in drafting. More students would take drafting if ,here were space for them, stated Mr. Sugg. Mr. Sugg had approximately 120 stu- lents, only six of whom were girls. Stu- lents who took drafting learned to make md interpret technical drawings, such as Jlueprints and house plans. Shop was another class offered to cre- ative students. Those who took this class learned about different jobs and hobbies available to them when they graduate from high school. This was accomplished through hands-on work and book work. When asked about participation in this course, Mr. Ray Bell replied, I would like for the interest to improve. Sophomore Chris Pattonis response when asked his opinion of the class was, f'Shop is a very good class. It could deter- mine your career? Students in Mrs. Dot Harmon's drama class read plays, performed exercises for body control, researched and performed scenes, and wrote and produced their own original plays, according to Mrs. Harmon. Andrea Brown, a sophomore, excitedly expressed her feelings about drama by say- ing, I love drama! Working with everyone in the play To Be Young . . . Again, was a great experience. Five members of the class wrote the play, but we all gave contri- butions. Everyone in drama must be able to control emotions and get along well with others, especially on stage! The five people responsible for writing the play To Be Young Again, were Amy Andrews, Jill Moore, Greg Tuttle, Wendy Shelton, and Paula Macy. For those who were musically inclined, a strings class was taught by Mr. Fred Lail. All 13 of Mr. Lail's students were accept- ed into the All County Honors Orchestra, and performed at various local schools and the North Carolina Orchestra Contest. Mr. Lail felt that all of his students were outstanding in their own rights. There was also a stronger interest in art this year. As a result, two new teachers, Mr. John Fox, and Mrs. Melrose Buchan- an, were added to the staff. A variety of classes for artistic students was taught this year. No matter what a person was interested in, he or she was sure to find the course that suited his or her needs, and also one that would bring out the best of one's abilities. Thanks to the dedicated, hard working teachers, these students were able to reach their goals and accomplish what they set out to do. Artistic Classesf65
