Concentrating on her part for the upcoming competition is Ann Wood, Phyllis Wood Adelaide Dunn Creative Arts Help to Expand Student Talents The three MUSICAL departments-band, orches- tra, and choir-are always involved in preparing for upcoming performances. Their schedule includes certain assemblies, seasonal concerts, district compet- ition, and public commitments. They provide many hours of enjoyable entertainment for both the faculty and students of Genoa High School. The LIBRARY provides the proper atmosphere of learning for all interested students. Each year the teachers submit a new list of preparatory and suggested reading mater- ial which they would like to see added to the shelves. The school librarian, together with the Board, tries to purchase many of these books under their yearly budget. Student librarians gain valuable experience which is needed to become future professional li- brarians. The basic ART courses at Genoa are Art I, Art II, and Commercial Art, Silk screening, oil painting, lettering, clay sculpturing, and working with papier-mache are areas given major attention in these courses. Art Appreciation, which was just added this year, develops the styles of art throughout the ages. Cary Zimmerman
