4 Bicentennial projects were not taken lightly by students interested in the creative arts. The Studio Art Class project was a mural for the U.S. Naval Hospital.Students visited the hospital in search of a room that needed brightening and decided on the outpatient clinic. Bright colors that picked up the decor were used for a happy effect in the mural, an abstract skyline designed by Kathy Ryan. The department also made two murals for the third wing, one by the library and one by the teachers' lounge. The library mural, designed by Iudy Tullos, featured Spaniards and Karankawa Indians. The last mural, designed by Ann Talpey, was an abstraction of an electrical panel with a pipeline effect. Another active part of the department, the Art Club, went on several field trips, including a trip to Guaranty National Bank to see an art show, a trip to San Marcos to observe the Art Department at Southwest Texas State University and one to Austin to see an Egyptian exhibit. In the fall the club helped with football posters and giving Tiger a new coat of fiberglass. The department also recognized the Artists of the Month: Becky Barnes - November, Lee Bell and Kevin Davis - December, Kathy Ryan - Ianuary, Ann Talpey - Februaryg Pam Mooney and Vicki Silverman - March, Pascale Vial - April and Carlos Cano and Iudy Tullos - May. Another branch of the creative arts, Man and Media, presented two shows of student productions, one December 19 and the other May 7. In April Media students had a chance to attend the Texas Student Film Festival, held for the first time in Corpus Christi. The December Abstract skyline brightens clinic 19 Media Show featured Whimmen, a production of 1975 graduate Iohn Schexnayder, which won third prize at the 1975 festival. The film portrayed females of all ages from tiny infancy through youth to old age. Photography students learned just about everything about photography: how to take pictures with different types of cameras, and how to use special effects while printing. For the first time they made prints from color slides, and Mrs. Anne Maxim described her department: We're the Pros. On the homemaking scene, the Future Homemakers of America installed new officers in October and held their annual Mother-Daughter Banquet February 5. Max Vera, presented as FHA Beau at the banquet, received a ribbon and a giant chocolate kiss from Mrs. Carol Ponton, FHA sponsor. He also received a different kind of kiss from each FHA member. Special guests who attended were Mrs. Freddie Hayslip, the district Home Economics consultant, and her husband, Mr. A. D. Hayslip. 96 Academics
