Not Pic- tured. Music Purchase of Uniforms Hi hlights Band's Year The A and B-Bands, under the direction of Mr. Dale Danielson moved into an enlarged, carpeted room. The band room consisted of three different levels to enable the students to see the instructor better. In addition to this room, the band acquired three rooms for individual practice. New band uniforms were ordered last year and sched- uled to arrive for Homecoming, Oct. 4. The uniforms were late in arriving, but came in time for the band's first concert on Nov. 12. This first annual event was put on to show the band's appreciation for the gift that had been given to them. Mr. Robert Myers, chorus director, and the A and B- Choruses also occupied an improved, enlarged room this year. Mr. Myers and Mr. Ronald Moore, the new orchestra instructor, shared the music room and had adjoining of- fices inthe music room. The orchestra-chorus room was carpeted, providing good acoustics. lt was also equipped with music cabinets and a platform in the front of the room on which Mr. Myers' piano rested. COLORFULLY ATTIRED in her new band uniform for the Veteran's Day parade is A-Band student Kris Johnson in Central Park. 20 - Academics mtg-x

l MOLDING CLAY into a figure requires agile hands, as demon- strated by this Art III student. Q s,sr i fix - N Ngaf' X ks, 'ssizyxiq . ...F , t Q ., ,X . 3, NN .

William Lau- mann, headed the art department this year. The classes were moved to the art suite. This division for the art de- partment was a transformation from the old shop rooms on first floor. The suite provided a more spacious work- ing area. Desks, with easel tops that could be raised for students' drawing convenience, replaced the old tables of the previous area. A different kiln and ceramics room were also added to the art department facilities. The separate ceramics room kept the pottery mess all in one room, and the heat of the kiln did not affect the temperature of the art room. Art lll students made projects in fields of their own choice. Choices for the projects were made from the bas- ic skills learned in Art l and ll. Some of the projects the Art lll students did were sculpturing, jewelry, oil painting, water colors, and drawing. Frottages, which involved the transfer of magazine pictures to another surface, and collages, a collection of ideas, were also tried as new forms of art. NEW EASEL DESKS are helpful in water color paintings to provide the artist more room for brush strokes. WILLIAM LAUMANN - Art I,lI, Art Club Adviser. Not Pictured.
