MAKINGS OF A MASTERPIECE - Mr. Donn Morris, art teacher, uses his artistic talents to demonstrate valuable techni- ques. Morris was also a teacher for a new class called Art and Man. 3 4 W '64 1 art in the making arsity Art was like Girl's League, stated advisor Donn Morris. Anyone can join who's interested in art and art service. Because of this flexible member- ship, the Varsity Art team consisted of anyone in- terested enough to take studio art. This organization considered themselves a team, in- stead of a club. Instead of a president and vice-president, they had a captain and a co-captain, senior Jeff Stone and sophomore Ariane Nelson, respectively. Morris, himself, was the coach. The main purpose of the team was to provide art ser- vices to the school and the community. For example, they did all of the decorations for the Girls' League Semi-Formal which was held on December 18. They also did the cobers for the Open House Programs, the graduation programs, and the CAP book cover. Another unique thing this group does was to sponsor a blood drive in the spring. ln fact, Varsity Art started the first blood drive at Diamond Bar. The group also did services for the community. For ex- ample, the Chamber of Commerce gave cer- tificates, designed by Varsity Art, to students who excelled in school. The team was also asked to decorate the field for Opening Day of Girls' Softball. IQ When asked what he thought of being a member of Varsity Art, Stone replied, I want to be an artist, so I like it. .e l 1 DN ,ss , 'T CD r l' '1 r-I- QIWO varsity art f organizations 6 7

SNAP - Staff photographer, Steve x Adams, gets the shot. Adams along with , Larry Martinez, made an effort to get the best shots possible. over our heads he YEARBOOK. Many people -thought this was a once-a-year thing, to be received at the Yearbook Sign- ing Party. In actuality it was a long, drawn out process needing the whole year to complete. Perhaps the most trying part of the yearbook was deal- ing with deadlines. A lot of work was needed for each page, and to get all this work in by a specific date was sometimes difficult. Other problems resulted when staff members had to deal with uncooperative or unavailable people. They also had to deal with procrastination, that disease that always seemed present when it's needed least. Also, the yearbook staff had to deal with a problem uni- que to this staff. It had to deal with a new and unproven ad- visor, Tony Kuns. Kuns had taught for 14 years, but had never been a yearbook advisor before. But things went well. As senior Frank Fedail com- mented, He's got a promising future. That is not to say yearbook was all work, many ways to relieve stress were tried. Some of the more effective ways were having deadline parties and playing football. Also, the yearbook staff got together at Christmas for a gift ex- N 1' change and a party. Editor Collette Martin who was a senior, 3 summed up the year by saying, lt's been a year of adjustment and change for all of us, but all of the frustrations and long hours have been worth it. i J i 1 yearbook organizations 69
