Art—Physical Education Demand Skill RANDY CROPPER is receiving help on his macrame project from Mrs. Dietz. This is just one of many art projects students do. Basic art is taught to first-year students, but before the year is completed each student has learned to do many things in this interest area. Students desiring a second year of art become involved in many complicated projects. These art lovers are motivated to express their own ideas and feelings in many of the projects with which they work. Mrs. Dietz instructs both sections of art, teaching in the high school in the afternoon and at junior high in the morning. Building better attitudes toward themselves as well as their fellow man and developing new physical skills are included in the basic training in all physical education classes.
