Art Classes GH' er Variety The Seaholm art department offers courses not only for those students hoping to pursue art as a career, but for the interested beginner as well. Drawing and painting touches a wide variety of sub- jects. Students work with pencil, charcoal, watercolor and tempera paint to introduce them to design, balance and color. More intricate subjects are delt with such as block printing and weaving later in the year. Ceramics classes teach the students various techniques of molding clay. They are introduced to many tools and have the opportunity to use the potter's wheel. Many useful and decorative items can be produced: vases, ashtrays, and dishes. Three dimensional design, a more advanced course works with materials such as plastics, metals, string and wire. The main goal of the art department and the four teachers are to teach appreciation and principles of design. After completion of the course, hopefully students are more aware of color, balance, and rhythm. In this way they are able to appreciate the world around them. The present cramped art rooms do not really provide adequate facilities for the booming enrollment. Therefore, the members of the art staff are looking forward to the new facilities now under construction. 151

Mr. Bostwick Mrs. Crossley Mrs. Gruschow .sq we-V Mrs. Haslock Mr. Schachern Mrs. Ulery Business Courses Help Business Education is not only for those pur- suing secretarial work . . . as a career but for all students, college bound and otherwise. Typing, the most basic of business courses, familiarizes students with the keyboard to the point where they can type rapidly without looking at the keys. This comes in handy for term papers, office work, and business letters. Notehand and Shorthand help students to become more efficient in taking class notes and dictation. The difference between the two is notehand has about 45 symbols and the stu- dents are taught to take only the meat of what is being said. Shorthand has some 250 symbols, and students must take down what is being said word for word. Business Math is a general math course, and an introduction to accounting. Accounting is an in depth, complex study of bookkeeping, auditing, and business accounts. Students not only learn in Co-op but have the opportunity to earn money. It is set up to help students with work experience emphasiz- ing merchandising, marketing, retailing, and advertising. The purpose is to help students to become well informed with the free enterprise system. Those involved in Co-op take all their required courses in the morning and are dis- missed after lunch to their designated jobs. l hu-,K 'Wu Q a g V, X 133 f4l Kgs Z. 'Z iv r 5, v
