Students Silkscreen Designs On T-Shirts Art students were able to become fash- ion designers as they learned the tech- nique of silk-screening in their art classes. With the help of Albert Damico, students were taught how to stencil their own designs on to a wax sheet and transfer them to T-Shirts or other garments. “The kids really picked this up quickly because they were so eager to see their own work professionally done.” (Albert Damico) Harmony classes were again taught under the supervision of Phillip Mollers and the chorus, under Sam Coco's direction, continued with its Christmas and Spring Concerts as well as taking part in the broadway musical. 28—Fine Arts

Language department chairman Hans Ruddeck (below) awaits an answer to a review question given to his German II class. Donna Gramling (bottom) assists Rose Ann Mucker in the construction of a pinata to be used by the Spanish class in a Christmas program for the elementary students. Spanish HS Performs For Elementary Kids Traditional Christmas celebrations for kindergarten students took a backseat to a Mexican-styled program originated by Mrs. Donna Gramling and her Span- ish III and IV classes in conjunction with the Span- ish Honor Society. A new approach was taken in Spanish IV. Class time was divided in six week mini-courses with the students given an option to take any one or all of the courses. Included in the courses were Con- versational, Spanish Culture, History and Geogra- phy, Prose, Poetry and Vocabulary. The mini- course system gave me a chance for an indepth study in the areas I was most interested. (Annette Smith) German students grappled with the language in the language lab under the tutelage of Hans Ruddeck. Film strips, cassettes and other visual aids were used by the students. With the use of headsets, tape recorders and cassettes, the stu- dents were better able to grasp the proper pro- nunciation, making them more affluent in speak- ing the German language.

I found power tech to be one of the few courses which I could actually put to work for me.” (Alan Wirfel) As a new and different project the home-ec girls had fun with the stuffed animal sewing kits, complete with fur. However home-ec was not all fun and games as the girls learned the basics of sewing, cooking and bak- ing. I took home making because I feel that it was practical and will be valuable for me in the not too dis- tant future.” (Gina Webb) Kathleen Ronan (above) gets some needed utensils for her baking class.
