FINE ARTS ADAPT TO ALL I TERE T A section at the senior high school band practices during first-period class. Walter Kniola andsSondra Stephens work with clay on the pottery wheel during art class. The talents of our art department ore used in service to the school and the community. The instruction in art is varied to meet the desires of the individual student. The CHS choral department received two new boosts in its program this year-its new chorus room and the new director, Miss Littell. The new chorus room, located on the second floor of the new gym, ,features full-length windows soaring up to the towering ceiling. The chorus reflected this in its increased acti- vity. Our band, situated in its new, improved room, kicked off the year with an intensive LUOB lLet's Uniform Our Bandl Campaign. Throughout the year whether by LUOB signs and posters, concerts, or music, we are reminded of the value of our art and .music departments.
