Inspired by their director, Paul Shigo, they displayed this professional air not only on the football field with the drill team and at rallies, but also at concerts at Christmas and at the district Music Festivals. Encouraged by Mrs. Suzanne Murphy, chairman, art students began by explor- ing the vast regions of their hidden tal- ents. They learned to express their styles, by drawing in pencil, chalk, oils, acrylics and other media. Some also created sculpture and designed mobiles and collages. Advanced classes put emphasis on professional and commercial art and exhibited their projects at student fairs.

MODERN TECHNIQUES . .. Math Majors Define Aouitg COMPUTER Age! New Math! Instructors, directed by Leo Utt, chairman ot the Math Department at WHS, were con- cerned about keeping up with these new, complicated methods, but they also had an obligation to those students taking not only Basic Math, but also Consumers' Math.
