DIVISION I FINE AND APPLIED ARTS The Fine Arts program provides the George Fox student a chance to become involved in the creative process. Music majors have plenty of opportunity to participate in per- forming groups such as the choir, the band, stage band, or other en- sembles which provide practical experience for their future voca- tions. The Art department, al- though a non-major, is widely pa- tronized by students from all ma- jors who are seeking escape from the rigors of academics and wish to express themselves either in the more traditional forms of draw- ing and painting, or in the expand- ing program of ceramics. Pep Band added much enthusiasm. Howard Binford carves out designs on a woodblock. Ruth Gilman, music Joseph Gllmore, music 14 Academics

r ESTIVAL OF THE ARTS The third annual Festival of the Arts was a cultural gift to the academic community of George Fox College. The Cap and Gown, Heacock Commons, the Old Sub Lounge, and Shambaugh Library became galleries dis- playing the works of fifty-five participating artists. Pho- tography, watercolors, oils, sculpture, metal sculpture, ceramics, woodcarving, stitchery, drawings, pastels, and china paintings were some of the media used by the artists. The other arts were also represented by many out- standing participants. The Festival was structured to appeal to all interests— visual, musical, and language arts. The College is indebted to the women ' s auxiliary and to all who helped to make the Festival III a rich experience. he Festival included painting and sculpture. fc£M ■ Many of the paintings were available for purchase iramlcs were displayed in the Heacock Commons garden Schedule of Events: Monday, April 26 Tuesday, April 27 Wednesday, April 28 Thursday, April 29 Friday, April 30 Saturday, May 1 Sunday, May 2 Monday, May 3 Wednesday, May 5 Thursday, May 6 Sunday, May 9 GFC Music Faculty Recital Lecture-recital: William Brent, cellist; David Bloch, piano.
