Students Parade Art Knowledge at Shows Toward the end of each term, students and teachers yearn to display the year’s accumulation of knowledge and skill in exhibits. The Science Fair gives ample opportunity, not only for parents and friends, but for judges to see how much we had learned. With an improved judging system and the experience from the previous fair, students used all their ingenuity to make successful projects. In May came the art show. Under the direction of Mr. Cheatham, paintings, sculpture, and sketches sprang to life in as many colors as the spring flowers. Sighs of wonder echoed through the halls as scores of visitors viewed the impressive art work.
