FINE ARTS . . . Here will we sit, and let the sound of music, creep in our ears, soft stillness and the night become the touches of sweet harmony? William Shakespeare Merchant of Venice FINE ARTS IS EVERYWHERE! Activities in Music, Art, Drama, and Forensics enrich Greenhill students daily. The Fine Arts courses are fully integrated within each academic discipline. Each year, students' skills in the arts expand, based upon a curriculum built from pre-school through twelfth grade. Life-long appreciation of the arts is the goal of the Fine Arts Department. Mr. Michael Manes - Chairman MA Southwest Seminary Mr. Chris Altendorf BA U.T.A. Mrs. Patty Edwards MA North Texas State Univ. Mrs. Sheryl Ellis BFA T.C.U. Through intergrated units such as Medieval Week and Renaissance Day, students see how the arts are an important part of history. Musicals, art shows, forensic competitions, concerts, plays, the ISAS Fine Arts Festival and trips to museums and music halls all work to illustrate the importance of the arts. Expanded Middle School art courses, a graded Upper School Forensics course and an Upper School band are the major course changes this year. Increased enrollment in all the arts courses and standing-room-only attendance at events indicate support for the fine arts. Special recognition has been given to many faculty and students through state and international competitions. The arts are everywhere and society benefits from an ever-increasing appreciation and understanding of the arts. 'ur rf j gf, .,-. N 17. 45 ,V Mrs. Pat McGee BS Rice Univ.

Why does the sun go down so Students at Greenhill are involved in Science courses at virtually every level, from Kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Through these courses they study patterns, natural laws, environmental interactions, and laboratory experiences, which coupled with field trips, help integrate the world of Science into the expanding world of every student. Integration with their other courses at school is also emphasized. Science teachers pay particular attention to the development of reading and writing skills. Mathematics is necessary at most levels, and the Science and Math teachers :oordinate their goals. The most fundamental skills in Science - skeptical observation and analysis - are carefully fl'- SCIENCE I now, an early riser, love to hail the dreamy struggles of the stars with light, and the recovering breath of earth sleep-drowned awakening to the wisdom of the sun. Phillip James Bailey Festus nurtured throughout the curriculum. Finally, the joy of learning about the world we live in is a key element in the teaching of Science at Greenhill.

Mr. Israel Solon MS Syracuse Univ. l soon? Why do the night-clouds crawl Hungrily up to the new-laid moon And swallow it, shell and all? If there's a Bear among the stars, As all the people say, Won't he jump over those Pasture-bars And drink up the Milky Way? Does every star that happens to fall Turn into a fire-fly? Can't it ever get back to Heaven at all? And why Is the sky? LOUIS UNTERMEYER 1 7

When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle all the night. Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny sparkg He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so. In the dark blue sky you keep, And often through my curtains peep, For you never shut your eye Till the sun is in the sky. As your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveler in the dark. Though I know not what you are. Twinkle, twinkle, little star. ANN and JANE TAYLOR 19
