[ 1 k I. t perfecting ihe fine falenfs The Fine Arts Department at L.A. Baptist, though limited in variety, pro- vides an adequate selection of courses consisting of Drama, Art, Pro- duction Design, Music, and Photogra- phy. Drama I and Drama II stress stage presence, characterization and indi- viduality. Under the direction of Mr. Bruce Ralston and Mrs. Dee Malousis the young Thespians work diligently in class preparing for a career in acting. In the fields of art and Production Design, Mr. Scott Loy was the paceset- ter. His instruction enabled the art classes to produce various objects Including ceramic works, pen and ink drawings, and water color paintings. The students experiment in color and learn how to express themselves in art. With Mr. Loy ' s supervision the Pro- duction Design class again produced the school ' s annual publication, SCROLL. Throughout the year the stu- dents learned how to combine pic- tures with copy to acheive a profes- sional layout. The Music part is directed by Mr. Bill Rodgers. For the Junior High there is a required course in which they learn basic music theory, and music history. In High School there is both choir and band. These are two elective courses which perform in chapel, at churches, and during athletic activi- ties. For the aspiring photographer there is Photography, a course taught by Mr. Bill Days. The classes not only learn how to interpret a feeling in pic- tures but also the practical side of photography — developing and proc- essing in the lab. 1. Mr. Bill Days — Photography.

growing in Chrisf The Religion department at L.A. Bap- tist is the largest composed of fifteen teachers. Because it is an important area of study here on campus, all students take Bible as a required course. They begin their study in the Old Testament in seventh grade and continue through the Sciptures with each progressing year. As seniors they revisit the Old Testament in a brief overview. In the spring, High School students are given the opportunity to choose an elective which they feel will aid them in their Spiritual growth. As head of the department, Mr. Rich- ards is proud of its progress at school. The department ' s goal is for the students to have a deeper understanding of the Bible and to grow in the Holy Spirit. 1 . Mr. Loren Kearney and Mr. Barry Herman. 2. Mr. Martin Richards. 3.
