Every quarter about 1200 of these folks register for classes of some description at Cleveland Tech. Students range in age from 16 to 75, and each student comes seeking something different. But Tech is able to meet these needs in a variety of ways. Degree and diploma programs, adult high school classes, Continuing Ed classes-these are a few of Tech's drawing cards. Add to these dramatic and community events held on the campus, and we truly have a school that offers something for every- one-a school worth looking into.

Tech's library in honor of the entire staff A Joseph Sobol-Visiting Artist The Visiting Artist Program, unique to N.C., is intended to bring working artists into communities all over the state. Jo- seph came to Cleveland Tech in 1985 to share his storytelling, musicmaking, and folklorist talents with Cleveland Coun- tians. From Port Chester, NY, Joseph studied Liberal Arts at Sarah Lawrence College and did his graduate work at Carolina. He shares his love of people and their history with groups all over our community-church groups, school chil- dren, civic organizations-wherever we gather to listen and be entertained. For Joseph, the best part of being a Visiting Artist is the chance to work at his craft before those eager to hear him and to experience the creative freedom so cru- cial to the artist. wiwllrjlli nv - ' - I School children enjoy Joseph's animated storytelling style Music helps Joseph's stories spring to life.

All of these draw upon the resources ofthe school, and return to our community a portion of what they have gained.
