-J-nn. 6 . 69 school proiects and community activities. Noth- ing adds more to the daily life of a school than the Band, Chorus, and Orchestral groups. Close- ly connected to music is art. A student upon en- tering the art course is subiect to one of the rich- est and fullest experiences of his high school car- eer. The time spent in the art course is divided between Fine Arts and Crafts from the seventh grade on up to the twelfth. The students not only learn the principles of art, they also learn the basic process involved while working with material things. The emphasis in this course is upon usefulness of art in everyday life. Although everyone is not talented in art, all are consumers and whether or not we know how to make wise choices is important in this day and age. ln short we say Art for everyone every day.
