I KNOW, I know! seems to say the expression on one pupils face as Mrs. Furhman points out a note. The grade music classes, under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Henkel and Mrs. Furhman, learned many constructive ideas . These classes helped to bring out the musical ability in each student. The pupils learned to read notes, keep time, and to sing songs. They also listened to a variety of music. The art department, as in other years, did a wide variety of work this year. The high school students made pottery, jewelry, paintings, and mosaics. They also ex¬ tended a helping hand to provide the props and background settings for the many so¬ cial activities . In the spring the depart¬ ment held its annual art exhibit. Art and Music Classes Develop Interest in the Arts MR. FEASEL points out the highlights of a painting to Toni Rupert, Dave Hamilton, and Deanna Maines. 20
