Talents flow in Art and Music School is not only reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic, but also art and music. Through art and music, a stu- dent is able to express himself in a way much like an athlete does—through one’s own and individual talent and skills. In the Art Department, a student can take classes from Basic Drawing and Design to Commercial Art to Sculpture, or dabble his paintbrush in any one of the six other divisions. In addition to getting his crea- tions graded by his teacher, a student may submit his objects to city art shows and the National Scholastic Art Contest in January. For the Fordsonite who’s a musician, look at what he gets to pick from; Concert Choir, Marching Band, Concert Band, and Music Fundamentals, just to name a few. The Music Department is one of the most im- portant parts of the school. Let us remember the musicians and think what kind of fun a football game would be without them, or not having any concerts to attend. Yes, the Music Department adds spirit and color to Fordson and its people. 1. Dipping into the rubber cement again, eh, Mrs. Bieniek? 2.
