Pursuing Favorite Pastimes K (ABOVE) The violin section of the concert orchestra is intent on elimina- ting any “sour” notes from their fin- ished composition. (LEFT) Comet players Norman Dominquez. Gary Holtz, Charles Scheiwe, Howard Perry, and Richard Skowronski are among the many stu- dents who participate in music activi- ties. One would never guess by hearing the shrill notes that proceed from an orchestra pit before a concert that the beautiful sounds which fol- low are in any way connected with the finished product. This beautiful music is attained only through a great deal of hard work and practice. That is exactly what the music groups at Bloom do — practice. Meeting during the ninth hour each day, members of the band and orchestra devote many hours of their time to the improvement of skills that have made Bloom excel in the music field. Mr. Einar Cannelin, concert band director, takes an active part in all his group does. Under his guidance the band adds spark to half-time activity. 29

Students Earn Credits While Grotesque papier- mache figures are made by Melody Innuci, Joan Du- Chene, and Carol Hahn as part of their work in art II. (RIGHT) Art I students learn the various painting and sketching techniques by work- ing with elementary equipment. (BELOW) Before you throw away your old shoes, you'd better think twice. Sharon Rabe, art III student, finds hers a useful subject for an oil painting. Have you ever wondered where Bloomites who frequent those famous yearly election painting parties get their talent? Why, from the excellent art department, of course! Under the guidance of instructors Mr. Albert Piarowski and Mr. John Foster, members of art I,II, and III classes experi- ment with everything from elementary sketching to the complex art of oil painting. Perhaps the unique factor in all of these art classes is that the students are gaining a practical knowledge of art while having a great time doing it! 28
