Art Becomes An Integral Part Of Life Mr. Joseph Shonkland, Chairman of Art Department, discusses the five points of clay sculpture with Lee Coble. Hallowe ' en masks were made by some of the classes. Here, Gene Williamson shows Bobby Covington his design in its early stage. Art is everywhere at B.L.S.! It can be seen at all times and in many places and is concrete evi¬ dence of the creativity being nurtured in art classes. Delightful pictures hang in the teachers ' lunchroom. The library showcase is colorful with exhibits in all mediums. Hobgoblins, witches, and ghosts appeared on Student Commons Area win¬ dows at Hallowe ' en. Thanksgiving brought turkeys to the Area, and Christmas became more joyful by Santa, the tree, and reindeer aplenty! Indeed, painted windows have become a tradition with art students. A mural, begun this year, will finally hang in the main entrance lobby, the result of a project lovingly executed by talented students. This year, many new areas are being explored Advanced art students take to the great outdoors to change the creative environment.

Andy Gottschall, Bill Harris and Mae Ken¬ dall work on the Jun¬ ior section for the first deadline. Works Long, Hard To Produce Winner David Moore becomes a clock watcher as he waits for the film to develop. Excitement filled the editorial room of AQUILA . . . our ' 65 edition was a winner! After plans had been formulated, we were sure that our ' 66 edition would be even better! Editors Ronda French and Kerry Campbell strived diligently to keep things moving toward each deadline. As harried staff members were hounded for superior copy, creative layout design, and ap¬ pealing headlines, equally harrassed editors tried to keep one jump ahead of the demands of our advisor. Constantly faced with money problems, picture woes, and copy editing, there was never enough time . . . never enough time! Linda Holloman tells typists Lee Edwards and Alan Noel exactly how she wants her copy typed. 65

At B.L.S. As Artists Share Creations by creative minds. Plaster, stone, and wood carv¬ ing, jewelry-making, clay sculpture, ceramics, and graphics have taken their places along with all mediums of painting, design, weaving, and paper mache techniques. Each phase of art which we study seems to be more exciting than the one which preceded it. Some of us took field trips this year to college campuses, on sketching sprees, and to art ex¬ hibits. Many entered art contests and brought honor to our Alma Mater. Tyrone Battle, Sara Larson, Tony Pierman, Patty Willis, Debbie Wat¬ kins, and Teresa Ray Tilley won outstanding recognition by their artistic abilities. Tony Pierman, Teresa Tilley, and Sara Larson may sketch him in an action pose. Teresa Tilley ' s skilled hands magically turn a lump of clay into a vase. Silhouetted against a background of window art, Mr. Williams and Mr. Maddox admire the ingenuity displayed by art students. 67
