Wet Paint With Silk The art club, with their new name. Wet Paint, had a very active year, starting off with silk screening T-shirts in September. This was the first time the club did this and it was successful. The club also visited the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and then had a picnic in Hermann Park in September as well. It was interesting. I really enjoyed seeing other people's art work.” said Senior Jamie Haines. In October the club face-painted, a new tradition that began last year. Held on the 31st, club members painted various designs on students as well as teachers. Explained Senior Ron Crisostomo. It wasn't as much as a turn out as last year, but it was fun. We still raked in the bucks! The art club proved they had school spirit by making bear-buster signs in November for the Elsik-Hastings game to help students get more enthused for the game. December was another busy month. Starts Year Screening The club held a cookie decorating contest and they made banners for Christmas and hung them in the North and South cafeterias. Second semester members made paper roses for the elderly at several nursing facilities for Valentines Day. and in April they made Easter baskets and coloring books to give to a children’s hospital. I really like doing things like that. It's a neat idea,” said Senior Cindy Elley. The club ended the year with a picnic in May. The art club is definitely just for fun. We met every other Wednesday and would work on projects or discuss activities,” explained sponsor Mrs. Hook. Members don't have to be in art classes to join, she added. By D.
