Courses Of Study Plus Extra Curricular During the French Club Mardi Gras, member Nanci Hipp serves refreshments from the buffet table to Johnny Beatty. At the GRAM science fair, Jackie Ramsey observes an elec¬ tronics science project by former student David McCall. To provide students with the opportunity to de¬ velop their talents and abilities, more than twenty organizations were established. Several curriculum courses, such as glee club and journalism, consti¬ tuted organizations and met a regular daily schedule. Students participating in these organizations re¬ ceived credits that were applied toward graduation. Other organizations met as an extension of a cur¬ riculum course. Members of these clubs discussed subjects that were related to the individual classes. For the benefit of the students, faculty and school, students participated in service organizations. Hav¬ ing definite projects planned, these clubs strove to help others. To meet every student’s needs, college and basic curriculum was offered. Such courses as foreign lan¬ guages, vocational programs, and various other elec¬ tives supplemented required courses. Members of the Camera Club Eddie Hartman and Lucinda Hartman distribute student directories during homeroom. 6

Classes Participate In Activities Which Compose From the first bell for homeroom to the last bell of sixth period, animated conversation was heard echoing in the labyrinth of halls. If one were to stand in the halls during the solitude before the changing of classes and remain as the bell rang, the true spirit could be captured. Aggregations of robust upperclassmen cluttered passageways and scrambled for the various classes as the tardy bell sounded. Interest and enthusiasm dominated the minds of students and reflected in their faces. Lunch periods provided an opportunity for classmen to share ideas and discuss varied activities. As classes dispersed for the final time of the day, preparation was being stirred for similar activities for the subsequent day. Sophomore homeroom president Ren Henderson sells Christ¬ mas dance tickets to students Bill Gupton and Carol Harr. Preparing to undertake the work of the new school day, Debbie Zimmerman selects the books that she will need. Students renew old acquaintances and make new friendships as they enjoy their lunch in the cafeteria during one of the three busy lunch periods of the school day.
