Besides working on their many projects in the classroom they took time out of their schedule to display their work for the school to see. The art bulletin board in the main hall could always be counted on to hold some colorful display of art work. They also exhibited some of their clay figures on other floors. : Drawing is not the only thing art students learn to do; they moved from project to project. Weaving, chalk drawing, figure sculpture, and copper tooling were just a few of the many things the students work- ed on during the year. Mrs. Viscosi teaches her stu- dents that weaving, drawing, and making jewelry isn't all there is to art. She teaches them the many facets of art and art appreciation. Art students Carol Dohner, Robert Antrup, and Jerry McKean add the finishing touches to their piece of pottery before they are fired in the kiln. KAISER PLUMBING AND ELECTRIC oe

Social Studies Prepare Us for New Age Mrs. Maxton is seen leading the World History class in Bill Nimmo, Tommy Wasson, Jimmie Smithers, and a discussion on history down through the ages. From the beginning of time people have been study- ing the origins of civilizations of the years before them. These people of ancient times have contrib- uted many laws, customs, and religious ideals that we have of this present generation. One of the pri- mary reasons government is taught in our classrooms is to hold dear to us the basic principles of our democ- racy. Studying about our federal system with its legislative judicial, and executive branches we learn that our government is only good what we the people make it. World History and Sociology are interesting because of their connections with man. Most im- portant to the students of our country is United States History. This history gives us the basis of our laws, customs, documents, and type of government of our country today. Mrs. Schubert, Mrs. Maxton, Mr. Johnston, and Mr, Ross make up our Social Studies Department. Sunnie Miller are keeping up on world happenings, which is very important in this age. Martin Van Leuven leads the discussion in Mr, Ross's history class. The students enjoy these informal dis- cussions of history. 29
