Art Progresses In Second Year At CFHS Kenny Huffman puts the finishing touches on his masterpiece in Art I class. The CFHS art students, under the di- rection of Mr. Smith, called upon their creativity and ingenuity while working in fields ranging from sketching to elementary sculpturing. In addition to decorating the bulletin boards, the art department presented the student body with an exhibit of cut paper designs, displayed in the cafeteria. In February they put forth their efforts in a small scale art show for the P.T.A. A larger art exhibit was presented in May. To further their study of art the CFHS art department exchanged ideas and exhibits with area schools of Virginia and West Vir- ginia.
