Artists allowed creative freedom The main purpose of the Art Club is to advance the members’ own knowledge. Students who are really interested in the field of art and may possibly pursue an art related career might be found in an art club meeting. During the meetings they are allowed to do things of their own interest and to experiment with new and different kinds of art. For instance, the members work with etched glass, stained glass, candles, silk screen printings, and many other different varities of artistic work. The students took a bus to the Renaissance Festival in October. The sponsors are Claire Hook, Rich Aber, Faye Becker, and Nola Graham. by Angie Shoemaker Smiles from a long day at the Renaissance Festival. Raymond Heinrich. Working hard at an art club meeting.

These are the adventures of the photographers: to explore new films, new papers; to seek out new clubs and new organizations; to boldly go where no spectator has gone before. Braving ranting editors past deadline, fighting rabid staff members, able to leap a zoom lens in a single bound - all to secure the memories of the common man. by The Photographers Editor’s note: Our staff of heroes this year was made up of Cathy Bell, head photographer; Chris DuPlain; Peter KufTel; LeeAnn McCoy; and Glenn Wright. We are forever, humbly, in their debt. Kudos for excellence and dedication went to Chris DuPlain. he leader of the superheroes is Cathy Bell. ith the weight of the world on ; shoulders, Peter KufTel looks Special glasses give LeeAnn McCoy her secret powers, nber.
