ahs world of art under new director AHS added several new teachers to the staff this year, one of which was Mr. Donnye Bowden. Mr. Bowden who now heads the art department is from Sutherland, Nebraska, where he graduated from high school in 1964. After graduating from Kearney state in 1968, he went on to teach at York for four years. Then he decided to try his hand at business-Silk Screening Business. Now back in teaching, he feels that AHS is one of the finest schools around, and the students are above average. The art department hasn’t made too many changes. The courses consist of: Art I, Pottery and Sculpture, and Drawing and Painting. One change that was well received was the creation of the Artist of the Week”. This was started to arouse a greater interest in art and because Mr. Bowden believes in “showing off” at least one piece of everyone's work. This year’s “Artists of the Week were: S. Palmerton, J. Whisler, D. McVay, M. McConnaughy, C. Chandler, P. Greenrod, B. Powell, L. Helms, D. Hoffart, C. Pacot, J. Vosberg, J. Henry, and L. Morrow, up to March 25, 1976. 1 1.
