Creofivify Through Fine Arfs Art classes offered students an outlet for their unique powers of creativity. They were kept busy with many projects such as lettering, pencil sketches, ink drawings, paintings, making batiks, silk screening, and sculpting heads of clay or plaster. The best work of the art students was exhibited in the library, on the large bulletin boards outside the gym, and in the new display cases near the Art room. Speech and Drama was a new one-semester Senior English elective. In the quarter dedicated to Speech, the students gave demonstrations, pantomimes, and many types of speeches before their classmates. Besides improving their speaking habits, the course also helped students be better listeners because they often had to rate each other's speeches. In the quarter dedicated to Drama, students learned skills concerning props, lighting, costuming, make-up, and acting methods by their work on the play Snow White. For their final exam, small groups worked together on producing one-act plays which they presented to the class at the end of the semester. Bbg P' , Bbg hi ' ,,.,,,, l 'kg' , gy , ? 22 Bbg
