Sciences Teachers foster enthusiasm Stars, Cells, Ecology, Bones, and Muscles; all these and more are some of the selections of the Science Department. The study of the stars and northern lights interest the students of Mr. Maisano’s astronomy classes. Mr. Crevia’s Earth Science classes were more interesting this year with the addition of student teacher Mr. David Trigg. Mr. Case, head of the Science Department, commented on the science situation, “Balance should be in today’s world, because our country has reached a certain level of progress. You can do better if you understand scientific methods.” More and more people today are enrolling in some type of science class and the Science Department at Arthur Hill is offering a large selection to choose from. Students are drawn to science because of the wide variety of classes. Norma Hales, senior at Arthur Hill states, “I feel myself going into science more and more because of the teachers’ great interest in their work. I’m planning on continuing in the field of science after I graduate and can safely say that I received a very good background of science study at Arthur Hill.”

Art Creativity expanded The arts and crafts program this year was a long, difficult road that many students managed to endure. “Because of the lack of funds, supplies were about cut in half,” said Department Head, Mrs. Carol Wylie. Mrs. Marianne Vitito and Mrs. Carol Wylie were the art teachers and Mr. Earl Mitchell, the crafts teacher. Miss Sue Nicholson, a student teacher from Central Michigan University, also worked with the Art Department. Students could participate in such courses as weaving, draw- ing, general art, crafts, jewelry and ceramics. In weaving students enjoyed doing macrame, tapestry and needlepoint. Inspired drawers sketched people, figures and scenery. Mr. Mitchell’s Arts and Crafts’ students enjoyed working with clay, leather, paper, string and various other materials. Students also made their own pottery wheel. Although there were many problems with the program, students and teachers managed quite well and enjoyed having the chance to express themselves in their own special way. Linda Stone remarked, “‘I appreciate art very much and feel I can ex- press my ideas.” ABOVE: Linda Stone and Theres Moon are doing shadow sketching.
