opportunity to express ideas, emotions Students dabble in paint, clay, some find true selves An intruder tiptoes into the room, flips on the light, and looks around. All sorts of odd sights assail him. Quickly, he glances around for the treasure, but his eyes are greeted with pencils, paint, metals, and wood. Where is the treasure? As he looks more closely, he finds that it is in the cup- board, on the wall, and even hanging from the ceiling. He is in an artroom, and the treasures are the paintings, jewelry, and other projects made by the students of the six elective art classes. In these classes, a student gets time to discover if he will become another Leonardo da Vinci, a happy home hobbyist, or if he might be a better chemist. Here, a student can sample numerous forms of art, helping him, if not to choose a vocation, at least to enjoy and appre- ciate the work of others. The mil treasure the intruder sought was not in the art room, but in his hands and in his mind. Staff and Academic Life 29

Vocal Music Ensemble, choir highlight year’s activity with musical hit 'Oklahoma’ Variety of opportunities elicit individual effort Activity? You bet! Concerts, musicals, as- semblies, and even recitals have made Vocal Music at Edsel Ford more than just a 60 min- ute class. Because of the great demand for the musical talents of the Choir and Ensemble this year, members performed at several teas, junior high assemblies, and concerts. Together with the male chorus and the regular music classes, the vocalists entertained at the winter, Christmas, and spring concerts, as well as in the school musical Oklahoma. With so much demanded of these groups this year, one wonders if Vocal Music shouldn't be considered more than 'just' academic. Vocal Ensemble. FRONT ROW Leslie Ferguson. Margaret Najarian. SECOND ROW: Pat Hogan- son. Diane Wallace. Jean Dappnch, Sharon Brossy, Nancy Goehoro. Yvonne Schumacher. Phyllis Hunt. Carole Moravec. THIRD ROW: Randy Broglin, Tim Staton, Larry Taylor, Ronald Scott, John Tyner, Marlene Strahota, Pat Biggam. Taking care of the choir robes is a job that belongs to the music teachers. Mr. Jessie Young jokes with Mrs. Shirley Connor as they put away some of the robes after an assembly. 30 Staff ond Academic Life
