National Art Honor Society This year the National Art Society was regenerated. It consisted of Linda Peschong, president, Nina Schneider, vice-president, Amy Schneider, secre- tary, Susan Gerhart, treasurer, and ap- proximately l5 members. They felt that fundraisers were not as important as enhancing their talents, going on field trips to art shows and museums, and repainting various walls in our building. ' The students in the gifted and talent- ed program were to pick a mentor, work on a project outside of class, and re- ceive help from them. As Nina Schneider, senior clarifies, Art is an attempt to explain the unex- plainable, thus we are philosophers dis- covering the realms of the inner mind? -Q WNW r l s -1 .
