Applied Arts a change of pace hy do people take applied arts? Formerly, applied art Wclasses were only taken by students who enjoyed them, but now every Harbor student will have completed some form of an applied art before he graduates. One credit of an applied art was required from each student so that he could get his diploma. This year performing arts was taught for the first time at Harbor, Many students enrolled in this experimental class for something to fill their seventh period, The class participated in many performances during the year, a big one being a Shake- speare Festival in which the students performed scenes from a few of Shakespearets plays. ln art, students toned up their draw! ing, painting, and sculpting skills. Mrs. Rapose taught the students how to find the personal meaning in art for each individual. uThrough working with art day in and day out, I think students learn what a piece of art means to them. That's really the goal of my class. said Mrs. Rapose. Even though a student was required to take an arts class, it often became a favorite. ult started off slow, but I ended up the year enjoying my performance arts class, said Dave Jordan.

They were also taken by students who wished to get ready for college. ul took typing so that I would be able to type term papers next year in college. said Aaron DelPrince.
