Student teacher takes over During second semester, Ed Sturtz, art instruc- tor, and art students had a change of pace when student teacher, Vicki Folk, worked as teacher and gave assignments. A lot of kids in the art classes showed a lot of potential and seemed interested in what they were doing, said Sturtz. Sturtz emphasized the four disciplines of art: drawing, ceramics, print-making, and painting. Sturtz said, ‘Those are the things professional artists deal with. I feel art is an important thing in our everyday lives. I think if you can learn to ap- preciate good art you can understand the con- struction of nature.” H «h,rchri»i.n«n Allan Zuhars EAGLE SOLDERING.

CREATING---------- Photographers make statements Martin Ahrens LEADER BIG JOB. Art instructor, Ed Sturtz, sets up a place for art work done by Art 1 students for the Big Show in the gym. Allan Zuhars EACiLE CHECKING IT OUT. Looking at a newly developed roll of film, senior Carol Lathrop inspects the work of another student during photography class. According to photography teacher, Ed Sturtz, whose photography enrollment bounced up from other years, most studen- ts don't know anything about a camera when they stroll into his class. Before they leave, he teaches them how to use a camera, how to study the lighting, how to use the proper film, and most importantly, how to deal with composition. Sturtz said, I try to get the student to look at the subject matter in different angles, a variety of lighting situations so that their photograph will demand people to stop and look at it for a long time because it's making a good clear statement. Photographers need to be in- telligent and creative individuals. Sturtz said, Serious photography is a subject that challenges your ability to think and make decisions that will allow you to make a good strong photograph. You need to be a creative individual in order to solve these problems.” According to Sturtz a good photograph can be of interest to everybody. Heather Christiansen Martin Ahrens LEADER TAKE DOWN.

DISCOVERING English students explore novels Seniors went back into time by being able to feel the shame with Hester Prynne, escape down the mississippi with Huckleberry Finn, and anticipate the guilotine with Charles Darnay. Students in English IV got a more concentrated study of cer- tain pieces of classic literature. Nancy Converse and her classes studied books like The Scarlet Letter, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and A Tale of Two Cities. ‘‘I liked Huck Finn the best because that is the way they really talk in Oklahoma,” said senior Brad Stephens. English I students, under Mike Westerman, studied Greek mythology and English grammar. English II students had a new dimension added to the learning process. Instructor John Mohn required his students to read (JSA TODAY once a week and then give a short 30 second report in front of the class. “It forces them to become ac- customed to reading the paper. Also, it is an easy way to help them polish up their public speaking skills, said Mohn. Students in English III, taught by Converse, had the chance to improve grammar skills by working in English 3200. English 3200 is designed to clear up grammar problems that already existed when someone comes into the class. Once com- pleted, it can be applied to im- proving writing and reading skills,” said Converse. Brian Hood Justin Knupp EHS TODAY INST RUCTIONS.
