G Tine J Crts From the many valuable departments offered at Chelsea High, we can be most proud of its fine arts curricula. Mrs. O ' Hara, our art teacher, strives for the pupil to develop a keen mind in creative ability, while Mr. Ridge stresses the ap¬ preciation of finer things in life as ex¬ emplified in great music. The fine arts department emphasizes the fact that there is nothing in life which does not eminate from a basic art plan. The appreciation of art must develop from inside and with the supervision of our competent teachers the student can express himself in musical and harmonious beauty. These students are learning music harmony and are really enjoying it. Christie knows that proportion is the most important thing in sculpture. With Toby as model and Mrs. O ' Hara as teacher, these stu¬ dents will be future Picasso ' s.

antes In the past few years, the increasing complexity of the automobile plus the improving skill with which it is manufac¬ tured has extended a challenge to the automotive mechanics who keep America ' s cars rolling. The auto-mechanics depart¬ ment of Chelsea High School under the competent direction of Mr. Arthur Hagan is turning out its share of well-trained mechanics in the automotive service. Mr. Hagan ' s knowledge and practical experi¬ ence assure the student of obtaining a complete understanding of the repair and maintenance of automobiles. So this is the contraption that makes the car run! Careful, don ' t print your fingers, too! Mr. Santry ' s woodworking class watches intently as a piece of wood is planed.
