THE ARTS Art has a special unifying force. It not only integrates the personality by putting to work all the natural powers, spiritual and physical, but it also brings into focus that creative activity of the individual. Creative power is universal. Everyone is born with some degree of creative capacity which can be cultivated like any other growing thing. This innate impulse needs direction in carefully nurturing it. to achieve their destiny of relative happiness and fulfillment. The T. V. studio serves as a medium for presenting the faculty and students with programs of educational value as well as means to produce innovative visual programming for educational and recreational purposes. In addition to providing informative news during the homeroom period, the studio has proved a valuable tool in training the Media class— the future directors of the Studio's operations. The management of the Studio can be accredited to Mr. Kyran Connelly. It is his sincere hope that as WARB matures in its programming, the teachers will become more aware of the possibilities of educational T.V. within their regular class presentations. Mrs. Mary Wahl.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT In an effort to balance students physically, mentally and socially, the Physical Education Department has evolved a varied program of different activities and sports. Through instructing students in basic games and rules, the instructors hope to show points of direction in their own individual skills, and to utilize these skills to the best of their ability and effort. With this in mind, a healthier community would be possible. The gym instructors encourage their students to never give up and to persist with the utmost in their ability to reach their goals. 24 1 Mr. John Quinn. Notre Dame University. BBA.
