Fine Arts enrich student ' s lives Numerous talents can be found in vari- ous forms at Anderson College. With the rise of interest in art, music, and drama, the Fine Arts Department strives to acknowledge and guide talents of all kinds. Drama productions, choral and in- strumental programs, art shows and ex- hibits are just a few of the reasons these have created zeal and interest to AC stu- dents. Division chairmans of the Fine Arts encourage each student to explore and expand their talent, which is probably the main reason for the Fine Arts rapid ex- pansion.
