Art overcomes confinements while expanding programs During the past year art has expanded from the confinement of one room to a two-room workshop-studio. Necessary essentials of the studios were new lockers, storage trays, easels, and tables. Art II classes drew figures with school models under the new no-glare centered lights, and sculptured with different media such as plaster, copper, wire and mash. Art III obtained two electric and kick-pottery wheels and combination etching and lithograph press. They also tackled clay molding and ceramics as well as abstract oil painting. Art IV, instituted for the first time, dealt mostly with independent study. During the year each student produced an oil mural. They also worked in ceramics, throwing on the wheel, and aided in the supervision of Art III's oil paintings. Room 216 was used solely for Art I classes which for the first time were comprised mostly of freshmen. Their main project was constructing Grecian urns as various in size and shape as the students.
