Artistic styles were set in music classes A new note this year was the Enjoyment of Music course. Taught by Mrs. Fiero and Mr. Knaus, music of all types and periods, from the Renaissance to today, was studied- even electronic music! Another interesting set of courses this year was Com- prehensive Music. Instruction in rhythm, harmony and tone was ofitered. The course was divided into Theory I and ll, and Advanced Theory in which students composed music. They start us on the right note. Mr. Reichard, Mrs. Fiero, Mr. Knaus. Students' musical abilities were brought to life Under the direction of Mr. Knaus, Hamburg High School's orchestra participated in the Christmas Concert, the Homer Fiero Scholarship Concert, and the Chamber Music Concert. They traveled to several elementary schools and gave concerts there. The year's highlight was the final concert, which fea- tured contemporary American compositions. Soloists were Beth Watson, flute, Polly Horton, piano, and Diane Fiero, harp. Our guest conductor was Harry John Brown, from the State University of N. Y. at Fredonia. Knaus's Kapers.

This group was trained in the various vocal techniques and skills necessary to develop such an organization. Under the excellent direc- tion of Mrs. Catherine Fiero, the group became a very melodic and harmonic addition to our music department, and delighted audiences with their creative abilities.

Students learned artistic styles and techniques Under the direction of Mrs. Collins, art students gain a background of basic concepts. Basic art, the first course, develops the skills of letter- ing, design, color mixing, and per- spective. Drawing and Painting deals with techniques used to express light and -shadow on subiects with pencil, pen cmd ink, charcoal, and pastels. The student may also enter more ad- vanced fields such as Advertising, which takes us from rough layouts to illustrations. Fashion Illustration and Water Color are also oFfered as ad- vanced subiects to add to the prepa- ration for further study or more skill if art is used as a hobby. Nothing mechanical about this drawing group. Sitting: Dickey. Stand- ing: Schlierf, Mr. Measer, Zemla, Walters, Davis, Mrs. Collins has the right perspective How many mediums of art can you find? Sitting: Ziebarth, Stephenson, Palmer. Standing: Korzen- iewski. T-square, triangle, and compass were used skillfully Under the direction of Mr. Frederic Measer, the Me- chanical Drawing Department enrolled students who were interested in learning a skill in one of the fields of draw- ing. Students were trained to handle such fundamental instruments as the T-square and compass, and through helpful instruction and independent work, they learned the art of reading and drawing blueprints. What's your line? Mr. Measer. 28
