The art major classes worked on landscapes on scratch- board and made Christmas cards using the silk screen method. They studied figure proportion and put their knowledge to work in pastel portrait drawing and figure illustration. The students developed potteifs skills by working with ceramics and developed their talents for fashion illustration. water color landscapes. and oil paint- ing. A new project taken on this year by the Art Department was providing art exhibits in the cafeteria. These exhibits are to be changed periodically and new displays put in their place.

ADELE WEBB ANN WOLFE Physical The physical education of Edmondson,s girls was not neglected this year. Girls obtained learning experiences in three areas-the gymnasium, the swimming pool, and the playing field. Through these experiences the physical education instructors were interested in contributing to the girls' mental, social, and spiritual growth. The Physical Education Department offered a program that included class instruction, intramural participation, and interscholastic activities. Through this program the depart- ment strove to give girls an opportunity to develop and improve their skills and to enrich their enjoyment of sports, dances and aquatics as both a participant and as a spectator. Of course the instructors constantly encouraged the important qualities of emotional maturity, cooperation, leadership, good health practices, and good grooming on the part of their girls.
