The Making Of A Tee How are Art Club T-shirts made? Do all the Burns High students wearing their ‘Munch Out” and “‘Bulldogs Do it in Overtime’”’ original, realize all the ingenuity put into thar $5.50 Tee? Here’s the step by step instructions: STEPS FOR MAKING AN ART CLUB TEE: 1. Art Club members plan the designs and Mrs. Putnam does the final draw- ing. 2. The designs must now be cut out. This can be very tedious depending upon the details of the design. 3. Next the design must be mounted on the silkscreen. This is'done by laying the cut out design on the bottom of the silkscreen and using a special fluid to make it adhere. 4. After the designs have been silkscreened they are placed facedown on a T-shirt. The ink is placed on one end and pulled across with a squegee. 5. Finally the shirt must be ironed two times, inside and out. With all the materials set up it takes approximately five minutes to print the design, 30 minutes to dry, and then ten minutes to do the ironing. Art Club students worked from the first of November to December 16 on this project. This included staying after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays of every week for two to three hours. The hardest part in making the T-shirts was making sure the ink didn’t smear and the ironing. Mrs. Putnam had to do a few touch-ups when the de- signs didn’t print but there were no major mess ups.

Well this is a project the Spanish Club has adopted over the past two years. Members of the Spanish Club spent hours after school creating their ‘‘mas- terpieces. ‘I just let my mind go to work,”’ commented junior Johnny An- derson, who also won first and second places in the pinata judging. Tracy Chapman placed third. There was an estimated 30 pinatas hanging from the ceiling in room 118. The largest pinata, made by Ms. Surratt was raffled off. Since it was full of $10 worth of candy many students wanted the chance ot win it. The others pinatas, were sold for var- ious prices to anyone interested. Prices ranged from 75 cents to $5. Money went toward Spanish Club scholarship. Sophomore Karen South- ard commented, “‘It took a long time but it was worth making them. We had a lot of fun and I enjoyed it.”’ Spanish 79 ts ig NS t i ‘ iN i
