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.
