Music in the Manchester Jr. -Sr. High School, in recent years has become an increasingly important part of school life. The performing groups, in particular, have been much in evidence at concerts, assemblies, and athletic events. Progress has been steady, and the music program hopefully will continue to grow to include more students, and to offer a wider selection of musical experiences. Each year, the Art Department is seeing and enjoying an increased number of students selecting Art as their elective. The Crafts, especially Ceram- ics, has become increasingly popular. Many independent Art students are experimenting in areas of Animation, Fabric Design, Sculpture, and Weav- ing. Student Art shows are held twice yearly, in conjunction with the Music concerts during Christmas and Spring. A selec- tion of Jr. and Sr. High Art pro- jects are displayed, and demon- strations are performed, by some of the students . The public is always invited to attend these shows and visit the An Depart- ment. You gotta have Art ! ’ ' MRS. SARAH P. HODGES MISS BEATRICE F. SKINN MR. PHILIP N. DARBY MRS. KAREN K.

industrial and business Innovative best describes the Industrial Arts Program this year at Manchester Junior Senior High School. Boys and Girls in the junior high have been exposed to a multi-dimensional approach to Industrial Arts Education. Mini units in general woodworking, welding, graphic arts, and plastics have been offered in order to increase student awareness of modern industrial processes. The Business Education Depart- ment at Manchester High School comprises those aspects of busi- ness that are of concern to stu- dents in order to prepare them to live and work in our business ori- ented society. This year a new course has been added to the others: Distrib- utive Education. This is a first year program, that offers to th e student a coop- erative work program where they attend classes in distribution, retailing, and merchandising in the morning (along with Math and English), and view work at a related job in the afternoon. This course is set up so that a student may experience a job sit- uation that is entirely people ori- ented, leaning toward the humanistic side of work. PAUL B. TARR JANICE C. KOSTOPOULUS WILLIAM W.
