Photography is open to both art and non-art students. Students begin work using only black and white Elm, and are introduced to color. Five art teachers present the basics in Art Funda- mentals, and there are six other classes for the more ad- vanced students. Drawing and Painting, Crafts, Figure Drawing, Basic Design and Graphic Communications com- plete this curriculum. 678 students fill 25 art classes, all of them working hard to improve skills and try for awards. Every year Art pays off for talented seniors. Miss Hayes reports that last year two students won scholarships to excellent colleges. Many more students were accepted to their first-choice colleges on the basis of their folios. This year the students are working toward the same goals. In the new dark room, Karen McElheny views her negatives care- fully.
