Attractive art displays between the second and third floors at the front of the building aroused pupils, and teachers' interest. These displays were the creations of Miss Georgianna Kienlyis art pupils. Throughout the school year the art pupils studied drawing, painting, and modeling and learned how to use their talents skillfully and easily. Other aspects of art were also studied. Ceramics, the art of making articles from baked clay, and the designing and paint- ing of masks were two phases of study which the pupils found interesting. Other works of the pupils were done with oil paints, water color, tempera paint, and chalk. The smallest class at Jeff, music theory, was taught by Richard Jaeger. This class, which met third hour, had live pupils, Melody, harmony and dissonance, and polyphony were phases of music studied in this class. Building different chords from' basic patterns with the help of the piano was also learned. At the completion of art theory and music theory, the pupils had gained an appreciation of aesthetics, a branch of philosophy dealing with beauty.

Every year new books are added to the library. Along with having exciting novels for book reports and informative reference materials, ,lelf's library sub- scribes to over one hundred different magazines. The library was useful to many classes.

Library work was mixed with fun at dusting parties held after school. After dusting all of the shelves and cleaning the library, all of the ambitious workers were rewarded with pizza.
