Our Art Students Practice Fine Arts, Crafts Students who like art find many modes of self-expression in Manual ' s Art Department. Beginning art courses offer fundamentals in the various media of art. Advanced courses allow students to work with techniques in which they are interested. In craft courses, pupils work in leather, plastics, textiles, clay, and paper. In jewelry classes, wire, copper, brass, aluminum, and silver are used for mak- ing cuff links, bracelets, earrings, and other articles. The Art Production class does school service projects; the senior banner and senior arm bands, designed by Dick Listenberger, are made by this class. This class made posters for the Music Department ' s Kiss Me Kate. Red- skin Revue posters, designed by Dick Listen- berger, and programs, designed by Terry Steadham, were other contributions. Silk screening senior arm bands are Bill Borden, Carol Bidgood, and Dick Listenberger, designer. David Bird, the old lamp lighter, poses as members of an advanced art class get practice in sketching. 14

Bill Claspie, Tony Ferguson, and Richard Cuthberson work with Mr. Dale Reid at the lathe in Machine Shop. Machine shop boys prepare to meet the stand- ards of modern industries. Boys interested in the how and why of automobiles find op- portunities to work on and to investigate engines in auto shop. Advanced auto shop pupils repair their own cars and those of trusting friends and faculty members. In the electrical shop, students plan wiring layouts, and they practice on the framework of a house located in the classroom. In wood shop classes, students first turn out bowls, lamps, and other small objects on the lathe; as they increase in skill, they make pieces of furniture for their homes, often from their own design. Louis Rigney, C. 0. Montgomery, Barry Eden. Terry Hannon, Robert Drotz, Jerry Cummins, Steve Boone, and Cecil Yates clean and repair engine parts.

The Fins Arts display at the Student Project Fair show- ed work from all levels of art done in various media- pencil, charcoal, watercolor. Annual Projects Fair Stimulates Initiative All departments at Manual exhibit student work at the annual Student Projects Fair in one big show in the gym at the close of second semester. The English Department exhibit in- cludes such things as essays, poems, and themes; and Art Department shows crafts and paintings; and Home Economics displays the handiwork of student seamstresses and cooks. Industrial Arts displays metal and wood work. Entries are judged and ribbons are awarded for first, second, and third places. The Fair is open to students who visit the exhibits with classes during school. A P-TA meeting at Fair time makes it possible for parents to visit displays. The Projects Fair stimulates stu- dents to do their best work and to share it with others. At the same time, this activity provides competition among Manualites. Jerry Steadham inspects a science display at the Project Fair. Ted Snider examines a miniature house; Claudia Dailey, a weather vane. Both were contributed by the Metal Shop. Many outsiders visited the Fair. 15
