Dan Sitze, who taught art in grades one through eight, noted that the elementary grades seemed to enjoy making clay sculptures and puppets most. The junior high classes especially enjoyed painting with water colors. William Teeters' Art I class followed the same curriculum as last year, painting with water colors and oil, working with clay, and doing different types of sculpting. Antiquing and cjuilling were new activities added in lVlrs. Mary Long's Art ll class. ln quilling, one rolls strips of paper around corsage pins or some similar object to make leaves, flowers, etc. Art ll class also wove baskets and did embroidery and needlepoint.
