nrtistic talents developed through cultural pursuits This was Mrs. Denise Leslie's first year to teach at Attica High School. She challenged her students with many creative art projects. Her seventh and eighth grade classes made several classroom projects that gave everyone a chance to take part. Her advanced classes focused on more individual effort, with such things as designing a homeg painting a perfect worldg and making clay and plaster of paris figures. Her aim was to let each student de- velop his artistic ability, and develop an appreciation for art. Miss Janie Hornung, a 1970 graduate of Indiana University School of Music, began her teaching career here at Attica. She teaches seventh and eighth grades general musicg di- rects the Junior and Senior High Chorus. Under her direction the combined choruses have given some very entertaining concerts. Miss Hornung also teaches general music to the fifth and sixth grades. Mr. David Flannery, the band director has as his basic goal the teaching of each student so that music is fully appreciated and a vital part of their general education. He directs both junior and Senior High Band, also, the pep and marching band that performs at school sporting events.
