The Art instructors. Mrs. Dorothy Garry and Paul Johnson. If you want to know how to make a bracelet out of a couple of pieces of wire or how to design and color posters, enroll in one of the art courses taught at Davenport High School. A prerequisite to other courses is Art I, a study of art structure. After completing this course, the student has a choice of four others dealing with design, figure, still life, landscape drawing, commercial art. metal craft, and jewelry. A project of Art III this year has been the designing and painting of a “Canterbury Tales mural for Miss Finch. Pouring and putting the finishing touchos on terra cotta moldings are members of Mrs. Garry's Art V class. At work on pieces of jewelry, members of Mr. Johnson's Motalwork- ing class apply the knowledge gained in the instructional periods. 23

Music hath charms. Wherever a group of people get together, music has its place, and in Davenport High School it's a big one. From the time that the march- ing band first parades onto the football field until the last strains of vocal music die away at commencement, music serves the school. The band offers opportunity in the marching and concert fields and presents a bang-up minstrel show, this year the 1949 Supper Club Jubilee. Tryouts desig- nate who will be a band member and what position he will hold. Symphonic enthusiasts may play in the orchestra where both classical and light selections are performed. If you like to sing, there's the Girls' Glee Club, Beginning Chorus, and Advanced Chorus. And for the especially talented, A Cappella and various small groups offer still more opportunity. Music instructors arc Robert Batos. Forrest Mortiboy. Kent Gannett, and B. G. Schaefer. 22 Open wide is the direction to this group of advanced singers by Mr. Gannett.
