Art Department Urges Creativit Purpose of the Art department at Ashtabula High School was to encourage creative thinking and indi- viduality, and to develop confidence in the student through self-expression. To maintain this goal students were taught the ap- preciation of form, line, design and color. For example, the teacher would set up a scene and a student was assigned to draw or paint it in his own way. Drawings of student models and still lifes were done in pencil, pen and ink, charcoal and oil crayons. Stu- dents in study hall volunteered to model for these ses- sions. is Painting was done with pastels, V' 'tl' . . . s f' ' water colors, and oils on imagi- H V.,' A - nary compositions. - Hi hli hts of the school ear f :., tt : ., ..,.

Commercial Students Mean Business' Education is big business to the Commercial course students. Two reasons why this is so are Ashta- bula High School's Co-Operative Education and Dis- tributive Education programs. Through training in COE and D-Ed, students more readily obtain positions in Ashtabula area stores and offices. This year, as in past years, seniors enrolled in the two major Commercial courses divided their working day between academic classes here at AHS and on- the-iob experiences in stores and oftices. Other phases of the Commercial program which 24 attracted other students included classes in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, commercial law and general business. Students in these classes learned skills of typing, mastered the techniques of shorthand, wrestled with the columns of figures in bookkeeping, and studied the theories ot sales economics in general business and commercial law. Because of these accomplishments the Commercial department is rated one of the finest in educational circles in northeastern Ohio. f
