af ,,,, www p MA CERAMICS She's more like a friend than a teacherf' said freshman Amanda Parkes of Mrs. Webster. She teaches morning and afternoon ceramics classes to students in grades seven through twelve, giving them a basic instuction in the various techniques of clay- working. The classes are not rigidly structured and gave the students alot of leeway. Wedging clay and clean-up are the few tasks which not all students find fun. However, the beautiful pieces that were proudly dis- played in the Chadwick library and outside shows were proof of the talent and creativity which these students were able to express through application of the techniques that they had learned. OH BOY! CERAMICS IS SUCH FUN. Siobhan Wilson . I DON'T KNOW LIZ, maybe hot pink is a little bright for an ashtray. Elizabeth Walles and Kristen Reitz . W3 ' Ceramics 189'

I try to set it up so that an assignment is pleasure, as well as a lesson in technique, commented Ms. Wildfang , who is not just a teacher, but also a friend to students. In studio art, students get a chance to relax between academic classes and to exercise the right side of their brain. Many students look forward to the classes all day, which teach stu- dents basic techniques of art, but also allow for a great deal of creativity by students. The friendly and open atmosphere of classes clear students' minds and permit them to explore their artistic abilities with no limitations. EXPLORING NEW BOUNDRIES IN ART.

gfeadife TO BE CONTINUED . Not Just Birdhouses. . . And soars.. Kids disappearing behind the Adminis- tration building?! What evil could they be up to? If you followed them, however, you would find that they entered a door la- belled SHOP. There is a faintly monotonous hum of an air conditioner, and you can almost hear voices coming from the other side of the door. Cautiously, but with a strong tug, you pull open the heavy door. Inside, your eyes meet a scene of noise and mo- tion, and you inhale a whif of wood dust that hangs like smog in the air. Someone is drilling a hole through the back of what may become a whale. In the distance, two mechanical drawing students are alter- nately arguing and taking bites of their ing a line to his paper. Tilting your head upward, you spy a wood sign - 'KWIT- CHURBELYAKINW? On the right is Tom Tyler, Chadwick's shop teacher, helping a student cut a board on the tablesaw while eccentricly signing, One and one are two. Two and two are four ... Bob Rule, a new face who is also teaching shop, is helping a young girl learn to use the bandsaw. Both men strive to teach the fundamen- tals of wood-work, while allowing the stu- dents' creativity to flourish. If the stu- dents are not inspired by the hundreds of objects that line the shop's walls, the only limitations to what they can create are the boundries of their own imaginations. HEY!
