Who Needs Attic Studios? Who needs Paris and its attic studios for inspiration? Art lovers at Highland Park High have the pungent odor of turpentine and oils without living as paupers. Many opportunities for broadening horizons were, and are, waiting for possible commercial advertisers, fashion designers, and teachers. New methods, ideas and talents are always discovered, applied, and discarded or retained, suit- ing talent and personality. Our teachers, modern in all senses, do their best to relay to Picasso or Rembrandt lovers, all that will aid them in future art careers or present appre- ciation. They offer the students healthy competition in a variety of poster con- tests and the annual Scholastic awards competition. They have the difficult task of helping the modern youth deviate from 'l8th century masterpieces and paintings. These classes-iewelry, drawing and painting, commercial art, and ceramics -are all favorites, more so because all our classes are alive in their techniques and in their ideas. FUTURE REMBRANDTS get some assistance from Mr. Philip Kellogg, art instruc technique are Ann Shaw, Don Brougham, and Richard Black. Mr. Philip Kellogg W ' X. me . Q a. bugb H.: t 1 1, fy- X ' .

With most of the commercial classes meeting on the third level, emphasis in business education this year was placed on efficiency. After taking courses in Typing, Book- keeping, Filing, and Stenography, Park- ers were ready, willing, and able to compete for oftice jobs. While most Parkers enrolled in Com- mercial classes to further their ability in one or more areas, some students took Typing strictly for their own personal benefit. Whatever the reason, students learned quickly that capable instructors in this department really meant busi- ness.
