The Art Department is a department on the move. This year there is a completely new cur- riculum including a tri-semester plan. The stu- dents, within this plan, rotate to the three differ- ent teachers, Mrs. Sanderson, Mr. Bagush, and Mr. Mulford. The students are increasing their capacities by learning about macrame, silk screening, acrylic, drawing, painting, and lith- ography. On especially creative days, the stu- dents are allowed to clean up to the throbbing tones of Beethoven. The students and the teach- ers are excited by the new look of the depart- ment and look forward with enthusiasm to the future. Mr. Richard Clancy Art Director ART 23

With a whir of machinery, girls are swept into the exciting world of high fasion. They are in- troduced to the basic techniques of designing and sewing, and experiment through making their own creations. The annual fashion show demon- strates the abilities the girls have acquired. Fash- ion Design is a perfect start for girls headed for a career in the fashion world, or for developing the joy of being creative. Miss K. A.

Nicholson Mr. Raymond Kuutti Director of Music; Concert Band Orchestra; Instrumental Music; Choir Have you ever thought about how much work is involved in putting on a concert? Or would you just like to learn more about a fascinating subject? Either way, there’s something for every- one in the Music Department. Led by a well- rounded staff, the music classes, band, orchestra, and glee clubs are a sharp bunch of hard workers who admit flat out that they gain a lot of ex- perience through their involvement. FASHION DESIGN “What are we making today. Miss D?” “Brownies with soap.” One learns never to inter- rupt a group while they’re cooking, you might find yourself with a crepe in your face. Tunnels in the muffins are caused by batter that is too smooth. Cupcakes made with the wrong in- gredients taste like rubber, and quizzes on mea- surements, equivalents, and on recipes keep the food’s students on their toes. “Remember girls, not too much 10-X.” FOOD 24
