Girls ' Art Joy Through Productivity J c -) J Tile mosaics intrigue D. Siminek and S. Hohenbrink while paper mache fascinates L. Kondalski and B. Dore. In the girls’ art department a contempo¬ rary theme was stressed for their creative work this year. Cutting, fluting, tearing and bending are terms widely used in the art of paper sculpture covered by them. Also as a new project the girls experimented with colored glass which was fired in a kiln and then used for a stained glass mobile. The study of art history is important as a background for the girls’ own creative work. Art history is divided into four cycles; Modern art is made more interesting as each girl represents an artist—and uses material as music and literature to correlate with the life and ways of the artist she chooses.

Boys ' Art Individuality Through Creativeness “This is the way to do it,” Sr. Genevieve states, as she demonstrates the art of carving to D. Krall, J. Young, P. Michalak and P. McKeig. Boys’ Art classes, under the direction of Sister Genevieve, as a special project this year, experimented with unusual techniques of continuous line, textiles, and string and ink to increase their creative ability. The boys are also preparing a portfolio, using pencil, India ink, and dry brush for their samples, which will aid them in seeking a job or preparing for college. An exchange of art with Toledo, Spain, was introduced this year. Various water- colors were entered using Toledo, Ohio, as a theme. The boys also entered watercolors using their daily life as a setting for the Junior Red Cross project which is held annually. Page 18

History Story Of Mankind w Sr. Mary of Mercy points to spots of interest on A. Bearley’s relief map. B. Siwa and E. Ball enjoy her comments. History, the study of man’s achievements through the ages, is offered Central’s students in a three year course. Man’s early development is studied through Ancient History, while history through the latter centuries and its signifi¬ cance on modern government is studied in Modern History. The third and final year course, American History, is taken by all stu¬ dents in their junior or senior year. From the discovery of America to our present day, American History students see their country grow. Throughout the history courses the lead¬ ers of tomorrow are given a better knowl¬ edge of the past and present civilizations and of the people who built them. A better knowledge will lead to a better understand¬ ing of our fellow men and our ultimate goal —world peace. Page 20
