Outstanding Art Department wins student approval The Art students have pro- gressed greatly this year. It shows in the numbers who compete and advance in art competition, locally and nationally, said Mr. Donald Johnson, Art Department Head. The art courses offered varied se- lections of art training. For the stu- dents who were planning to ad- vance their studies in art, fine arts was offered. Some of the classes were Basic Art 1-2 and Advance Art 1-6. Art Appreciation was offered to the art majors. Art Appreciation was one of the best courses I took at Manual. It made evident the various types of art, commented senior Mary Lucas. Craft Arts was offered to those students who enjoyed rug making, weaving, copper enameling and working with different types of tex- tiles. I like to work in craft arts. Work- ing with clay is the best, expressed freshman Tom Baumann. I like it! When we first came to high school there was a lot that we didn ' t know, but after leaving here there ' s a big difference, senior Mary Baase remarked. The Art Department gave pupils a chance to show their true selves. Manual has some of the best art students in the state. I think this is evident by the competition out- come. The number that have gone on to higher artistic institutes is good for a school of this size. I think our students are more serious and sophisticated about the field of art than students in other schools in the city, commented Mr. Nicholas Logsdon, advanced art teacher. ■■HMRMk? 16 Art

Classes have provided the key to Manual ' s success since the school ' s beginning in 1895. Manual has always offered more than just the basics of education. When the school began, the manual training courses offered were considered new and revolutionary. Today, with the growing need for this type of training and the large number of schools offering it, it was no longer considered strange, but accepted as the norm. Senior shop student Bill Hicks commented, Shop ' s fun and I learn a lot, but I think everyone needs to learn basic things like math and English. Manual training, business and academic courses kept the 1975 Manualites busy. Most students spent five or six hours a day in academic pursuits. The classes built character as well as knowledge as students were challenged and strove for per- Senior Becky Farley commented, It is the responsibility of every student as well as the school he attends to insure that a good education is received. A student has to want and work for a good education before he will get it.
