GENEVIEVE AHRENS U. of California at Los Angeles VIRGINIA BLADHOLM New Jersey College for Women EDITH HARRIS U. of Southern California KATHRYN HAZELL University of Mexico TERESA WERMINGHOUSE U. of California at Los Angeles Art and Music Departments: Upholding the Fine Arts division of Washingtons curriculum are accomplished teachers in the Art and Music Departments. Their patience has been tried loy aspiring young artists and musicians attempting Grieg's Piano Concerto and copies of the Mona Lisa before they can even sufficiently cope with playing Chopsticks or painting the backyard fence. But once this and other minor snags are overcome, such as playing classical music in jazz time, everything goes well and the Band and Orchestra give fine performances for musical programs for school and community. A Cappella and Girls' Vocal Ensemble cannot go unmentioned, for they are credited with equally fine and memorable presentations. The Art Department fulfills a rnuch needed service by designing and constructing scenery for all musicals and plays. This versatile depart- ment doesn't stop with scenery, however, but also offers courses in many phases of art, including costume design and craft classes, DIRECTCRS UNVEIL ARTISTIC A N i , I nrr i lx WILFRED ABBOTT U. of California at Los Angeles ww, CHARLES EDWARDS f Los Angeles State College DAVID LYMAN .2 Pamona College JUNE MC CONLOGUE Cornell College SKILLS Q ,-. 1 .. -M W, . ., wf I f t ' . 7 q , 1 if s MQ ,ft ff ymfwk 5 5 W E s' M.
