Wright Press constitutes change in technique, ideas The installation of the Wright Press has added a new dimension to Cathedral artists’ interests and expanded the offerings of the art program. This press, the only one of its kind in the area assists the students with such printing jobs as etching and lithographing and other engraving procedures. A new stipulation in the Art Department’s format is the process of continuing onto Art II only by the recommendation of the interviews with the Art I and Art II teachers. A portfolio prepared by the student must also be approved. Numerous projects were displayed around the school thanks to the creative endeavors of the Art students. Among the projects were mosaics, water colors, ceramics, and paintings.
