Art adds calligraphy to course offerings Art classes were full this year with a real surge in enrollment se- cond semester. A new course in calligraphy was added to the offerings. Mrs. Chris Olson was excited about the po- tential of the class and found it fun to teach. During first semester a joint show was held at the Oregon Bank with Pacer art works combined with the best from Lake Oswego, Waluga, and Lake Oswego Junior High. The annual Lakeridge Art Show was once again held in the spring in the library. Pottery, jewelry, paintings and drawings were dis- played. There was also a pottery sale at year’s end with many attractive pieces of work being sold at reason- able prices. TOP RIGHT: Terry Sullivan and George Serrill check finish of newly made mug.

Photographers enjoy field trips Semester courses in photography were once again a popular offering, taught by Mr. John Sanders, and classes were full. Beginning classes explored dif- ferent approaches to basic photo assignments in an effort to stress the creativity of the student. Ad- vanced classes experimented with many new possibilities, such as cre- ating three by two foot posters from photographs. Suburban Photo once again spon- sored the Suburban Photo Contest, giving fifty dollars of merchandise to the winner, Craig Wagner. Field trips were popular. In the fall, photography students joined art students in a trip to the coast. In the spring they photographed the spectacular scenery at Silver Creek Falls.
