Fine Arts Promote Creativity Individuality Thru Art Both study and creation of art were correlated under the instruction of Miss Jesse Lovano. Lecture, slides, and discussions based on a textbook provided a foundation in the history of art, while ceramics, silk-screening, sculpture, and painting in oil and water color developed native talents. Field trips were sources of inspiration, adding variety. Miss Lovano putters with her pottery. JESSIE LOVANO, B.S., M.A.; Cleveland Institute of Art, Ohio State U., Oberlin; Art.

Although physical education at Beachwood did not include the fifty-mile hikes advoca- ted by President Kennedy, the program nevertheless was vigorous. In spite of themselves both sexes benefitted by forty minutes of exercise twice a week. Miss Marilyn Owen instituted a unique phenomenon in girls' physical education. With diminishing protest, unaccustomed females donned traditional gym suits and participated. The hardier extended their skills by taking part in intramurals after school. Separated only by a collapsible wall, boys took gym at the same time as their feminine counterparts. Standardized | ae Herculean prowess gained in physical education. Jump ball: get it. Get it.
