Seniors in art are rare and few, but those who continue in the medium have talent and are truly interested in,-ial-I the courses the fine arts department has to offer. As a art student for two years, Irene Borrego says she plans to further her art education in College. III really like drawing, but paintings are my best work. I think Mrs. Amstadter is one of the best teachers around. In her two years she has enrolled in art survey and ceramics which she truly enioys. 'Another two year art student who also plans to further his art education is Ken Smith. IlMrs. Amstadter taught me that there is more to art than iust drawing and painting. Landscapes are my favorite subiects, I really love drawing, but l've got to admit landscapes are lbad'. Crafts seems to be a growing form of art now, more and more students are becoming a bit more interested in this new art. In crafts you can make many things for yourseIf,or possibly make it as a gift for a friend.One student who has taken crafts for three years is senior Doug Riddle. Doug who has also taken a year of art says he prefers crafts over any other art class.lllt's a lot of fun. My favorite proiects are decoulf-7098 and my leather works. Some kids say that Mr. Rossow is hard on them, but l've known him for three years, and I think he's alright. One student who plans to make a living of art is John Derr. lIHe's a fine potter and a really talented painter. He's very ambitious and wants to pursue a career in commercial art explains art teacher Mrs. Amstadter. lIMy best painting was a snow scene I did in the early part of the year. I love to draw at home, where I can kick back and listen to some music, this way I'm more relaxed, says John about his art. John also states that in his two and one half years, that NIYS. Amstadter taught him how to appreciate art. Grace Palomera has been an art student for four years. Even since she has been a freshman, Grace has shown excellent talent as an artist. Introduction to art was her class as a freshman and her achievements were outstanding. As a sophomore she became involved with ceramics, and as a iunior she tried introduction to design and advanced disign.

I R PIRIT After four years at the high school one either has it or they don't... that is spirit. From the time one enters high school until the time one leaves they will have seen spirit everywhere. 'iSenior Spirit has much to do with their pride. They figure by the time they are in their fourth year of high school they know pretty much the way everything goes. Spirit comes from the person within himself. lf a class has spirit it comes from all. The seniors possess quite a bit of spirit and had to set an example for the rest of the school. Without the aide of the vocal seniors very little vibrations could be felt in the gym. Let us commend those seniors who have contributed their spirit: Katina Arabatzis, Porky Bealer, Brenda Dunson, and Jim Holod. There were several items used to build spirit. Pep assemblies, spirit week, and iunior senior week. Everyone came from the assemblies ready to go and cheer on the team to a victory. USenior Spirit will always be remembered as one of the high points of high school years.- a. , D t h . , ... A M q Q q 1 A ,X 1 STM! QQ' .i l 'h 1 9 . . 'si i -s, -v M T? l-5.
