Fine Arts Grace and Beauty Come From Discipline Came Sue Bryan and Gina Bee are not only in touch with the fads of today, such as disco and rock, but are also among those who express their emotions through the medium of classical art. Since she began playing the piano at the age of three, and from her first recital at the age of four, sophomore Gina Bee has seemed destined to become a renowned performer of classical music. At the age ten Gina became the youngest artist to perform with the San Bernardino Symphony. By age eleven Gina was chosen as the youngest of seventeen of the world ' s most advanced piano students to perform during a Master Class conducted at Duke University in North Carolina. The performances Gina has given have not been to live audiences. She has appeared in the CBS television series Phyllis starring Cloris Leachman and given four performances in California for the Musical Encounters program. At present Gina is enrolled in the USC school of performing arts and studies privately with the internationally renowned pianist Daniel Pollack. Gina ' s motive for her practice and sacrifice is that some day she will become a concert pianist and attend the Moscow Bach Competition. Many people study dance as a hobby, but senior Carrie Sue Bryan has not only studied the art of ballet since the age of six, she has also developed her skills and her mind until her dream of becoming a performer shows immense potential in becoming real. The companies she has been in are many, such as the Riverside City Ballet (Peter Rabbit from the tales of Beatrix Potter), and with the Civic Light Opera in the Nutcracker which was her most memorable performance. She played the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Though she has studied other forms of dance, Carrie Sue is currently studying the Italian method (Cechetti) of ballet and has passed an examination as Highly Commendable . Another method, the English or Royal Academy method, is also an accomplishment of Carrie Sue ' s. She has passed three exams with honors as Highly Commendable . Carrie is not only a student and observer of ballet, but also a teacher of beginning and intermediate dance. fine arls 9
