An Artist's Touch Fine lines flowing design, and precision planning characterize the art work of Mr. Sabol. His expertice in jewelry and sculp- ture along with his talents in sketching and mechanical drawing lend to the stu- dents of Prep a resevoir of knowledge which will help them to create a solid ba- sis forthe appreciation and professional technique of art. Mr. Sabol's reputation as a good artist has spread from Denver to Virginia but more importantly, to Prep, he is a respected artist locally. Working at Breakiron Jeweler's, exhibiting his sketches at the U-Frame It Shops of Erie, showing his sculpture at I. Michael Brown all expose Mr. Sabol to the parent's of the Prep students. Over the years, he has done pieces of jewelry for parents of Ca- thedral Prep students. His excellent qual- ity of craftsmanship gives a pleasing reputation to the art program at Prep. Ev- ery Prep parent, who has seen his work, delights when he finds out that Mr. Sabol instructs classes at their son's school. Mr. Sabol directs his experiences from his work outside of the classroom to bet- ter a student's knowledge of art. Bringing work in to show the class and actually constructing a piece of artwork in the classroom while students are there, gives each individual student the observation of professional techniques and the con- structive ideas to create an original work of art. Small classes provide a personal atmosphere and a completely individual- Mrs. Frances Doyle, B.S. Mrs. Dorothy L.

Stu- dent participation in the classroom fea- tures Mr. Sabol's insistance on the indi- vidual's growth as an artist. ff ..Q- Edinboro State College Mrs. Aimee E. Rodak, M.Ed.

New Strategy Gets Winning Results T, IE: , Mr. Nowakowski's new strategy for teaching gym class presented an encour- aging outlook for the future. With the de- parture of several gym personnel, Mr. Nowakowski has developed a new sys- tem for the physical education classes. ln his initial year, he started instructing the classes differently. A standard schedule prepared by Mr. Nowakowski directed un- derclassmen through a rigorous program to improve physical coordination. The year began with gymnastics and contin- ued through the fall and spring with in- struction on topics such as basketball and volleyball. However, he gave the Sen- iors more leeway by letting them run their own classes instead of of teaching them. Mr. Nowakowski believed that this gave the students more iniative and responsib- lity which would help them to mature men- tally as well as physically. Good communication with the students was the key to Mr. Nowakowski's teach- ing. He made the students respect him and he let them know that he was in charge. Simultaneously, however, he be- gan a personable relationship with each class member. Along with teaching gym, Mr. Nowakowski student-taught and worked at the YMCA. He felt that this ex- tracurricular work helped improve his communication skills, his forte with the students. Left: Gym class requires constant supervision by the teacher if a sports activity is to run smoothly. Mr. Nowakowski exemplifies the interest in his students as he referees a basketball game.
