Trombone player Eric Bargman learns that practice makes perfect. ics Art 'Many students take a lot of tough courses and art is their only outlet,' commented Art Department chair- man Debbie Hartmann. Although most of Mrs. Hartmann's students were genuinely interested in their work, the number of such dedicated apprentices decreased because all incoming freshman and sophomores were required to take fours solids, bringing the enrollment to levels below those of last year. Courses offered included ceramics, painting, leathercraft, drawing and design, and jewelry. In the introductory art courses, students were taught the basics of shadowing, color mixture and other techniques. Art students designed all the art displays for Spring Fiesta, Christmas, and other occasions. One of the most laborious of all their pro- iects was the painting of the field for Homecoming. 'We put in a lot of hours,' exclaimed Mrs. Hartmann. In the past, art proved to be a creative release from a high- pressured, overloaded schedule. I L I tp- M' I y Band 'Band lets students be part of a good group and gives them musical training, which makes them better people,' commented Kenneth Cap- shaw, band director. 'lt's an extracur- ricular activity that also keeps the students out of trouble and gives them an experience they'll never forget.' Members of band were unique in that they considered themselves a big happy family. Because of this har- monious relationship, the band had a very successful year. Adding color to the Tiger Band was one of the band director's goals. He felt that the addition of a flag corps accomplished this. During marching season, the Tiger Band could be seen practicing during the morning from 7 to 8:20, and after- wards the members sometimes con- tinued playing inside until 9:30. Sec- tional rehearsals were often held after school as well. The marching band was comprised of both varsity and B-band members. Although the marching band's ac- tivities ended with the football season, the stage band continued practicing, preparing for the Christmas Concert and the city-wide concert held in May. Both events took place in our own auditorium.
