Classes ranged from Art Appreciation to Graphic Arts, giving fresh- men, as well as art majors, a chance to develop an aware- ness and a skill unique to the visual senses. We seem to be at a place in a cycle where we have a large proportion of new students who are performing at a fairly high level and are exhibiting a good deal of enthusiasm and perseverance, commented Ray Smenner, assistant professor of art and department head. These diligent students kept busy with sculptures, paintings, pastels, ceramics, and drawings. Seniors Cliff Spencer, Candy Tachick, Lisa Pender and Ellen Putman displayed their four years of work April 4-12.

Miss Thomas taught Art for Teachers for elementary education majors and Ober- beck instructed the ceramics classes. Frankie Baugh, freshman, commented on the teachers, saying, The instructors really care. They give a lot of time for their students. Junior Lori Killingbeck added, The professors really know their material and they help you to understand it. My horizon has been broadened, but my personal tastes remain the same.
