ART gives color Art courses at Manual High School aided many students in improving their art endeavors. There is an art class for everyone. Craft Design was offered to students who just like general art. In there, stu- dents worked with clay, string, and yarn. They made slab art, pinch pots, and yarn rugs. Art Appreciation was a course for the history buff. Students studied art and how it had changed through the ages. In commercial art, students got a taste of the business world. Commercial art taught students lettering and adver- tising skills. Senior David Molloy took advanced art for three years because he wanted to develop his artistic ability. In ad- vanced art, students studied figures, lines, and continuous ink drawings. For the student who wanted to work with metal, jewelry was the class for them. Ceramic Design suited the stu- dent who wanted to work with clay. In Ceramic Design students learned how to graft clay and work on the potter ' s wheel. Art production was for the stu- dent who wanted to help design stage settings. 28 Art

Math classes challenge students to use logic, computation skills Teachers and students both working together to solve for the mysterious x (and other infamous variables) ex- emplify the spirit of cooperation which pervades the mathematics classes at Manual. To better understand the principles of math, many students take more than the one year which is the state require- ment for graduation. As senior Gussie Walter said when explaining why she elected to study math for a full eight semesters, I wanted to continue with math because I enjoy it. I don ' t think of the assign- ments as problems, but as puzzles. It ' s like solving logic problems in a cross- word puzzle book. It ' s fun. Freshmen have the option of begin- ning with either general math or al- gebra. Many sophomores continue in math and take geometry, while college- bound juniors and seniors find ad- vanced algebra, trigonometry, computer math, and analytical geometry helpful to them. 30 Mathematics
