Cruising Together To 'Arts' Desire Cruisin' together is what led to an enormous enrollment in Driver Educa- tion. Although this class was an elec- tive, most students felt it was a stan- dard requirement. No one knew what to expect except the fear of parallel parking. Mr. Pat Nolen, Mr. Larry Lis- ton and Mr. Harry Taylor taught not only how to start and stop a car, but also many laws and state regulations. Many students expressed them- selves by cruising through career-ori- ented classes that required a certain flair or art to achieve. Favorite past- times of many students, Art I and II, was taught by Mrs. Diane Loeffelholtz, while Mrs. Ann Fields taught arts and crafts. These courses brought many creative minds together as they ex- pressed themselves through paintings, macrame, ceramics and sketches. Industrial arts classes were usually dominated by boys, although girls had begun to take quite an interest in these subjects. Drafting was taught by Mr. Dan Cleaver and woodworking by Mr. George Whitmire. Whether working with wood or mechanical drawing, these students expressed themselves well in their specific art. 104 Driver Education, Arts

Aiming High Aiming high to build confidence was the goal of the girls' and select chor- uses. Even though the groups had a weakness in sightreading, they certain- ly made up for it with their ability to work well together, said Mrs. Helen Ellison, director. We worked many long hard hours preparing for different events, said Dana DePriest. We didn't always place first, but we learned a great deal and had a tremendous time.', ln contests such as the one in Ada, the girls' chorus received an excellent rating. The soloists and ensembles did quite well. Contests are a good learn- ing experience and really fun, said Keri Cannaday. Mrs. Ellison feels that music gives an added dimension to each person both in their school life and in their personal life.
