Fine Arts To the artistically minded students, three courses of art were offered under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Stein. The beginning artists spent the year learning the principles, fundamentals, and elements of art so that they might be better equipped to work on projects touching upon the many phases of art offered the second year. The more advanced students were in charge of the bulletin board out- side the library along with their regular proiects. The A Cappella, B choir, and the glee clubs, under the direction of Miss Mary Selk, had a very successful year with ll4 students participating.
