Duties Include Carting, Cleaning, Cooking Cleaning up after the students at the day's end was done efficiently by the two janitors and the one night janitor. Wash- ing windows, mowing the lawn, polishing desks, and sweeping halls headed their work list. Eight cooks were in charge of keeping the student body well-fed. The cooking staff worked from 7:30 a.m. through the afternoon hours each day preparing well- balanced and appetizing meals for the 650 students and faculty members. To deliver students safely as well as ef- ficiently to their destinations was the goal of the bus drivers of the school district. These eight men were also responsible for keeping the vehicles in excellent running order as well as transporting .students to extra-curricula activities.

E Fine Arts Contribute To Culture At AHS Two choruses, girls' glee club, and the ensemble formed the core of the vocal mu- sic department. Achievement of better tone and greater proficiency in reading music were the main objectives of these three groups. The concert band's schedule was dom- inated by early morning practices, trips around the state, and home performances. New routine steps learned at summer camps highlighted the half-time drills. Introduction of the visual arts was the purpose of Art 1-2. This was accomplished by the use of a workshop situation in which the student learned art techniques by using the many materials available to artists to- day. Beginning students practiced the fund- amentals of pencil sketching perspective drawing, and design which became the basis not only for what the students creat- ed, but also for understanding the work of others. Materials implemented by second and third year students included: pencil, char- coal, pen, watercolor, tempera, clay, leath- er, and silver. Original creations were also done in oil paints and .acrylics. The experi- enced students were given much more free- dom in the selection of a yearly project and the materials and methods for the comple- tion of the project. Added features such as a trip to Wichita to view egg tempera paintings broadened the knowledge gained in this class. Daily emphasis on technical quality is apparent in this candid rehearsel photo of the mixed chorus. a -J I 16 .ss,m 3-fsv41L... 74 .L., yiv T
