ART IS EXPRESSED IN MANY WAYS .1 MRS. EDNA I MRS. DOROTHY BUCKLES Bs. vac. BS vac Home Ec ' Home Home Economics, Art . i . - i - i 1 .sh f i Art, according to the dictionary, is the application of skill and taste to the production of things of beauty. To a hungry man, a broiled steak and a deep-dish apple pie are things of beauty, to a fashion-conscious young miss, a well-tailored light wool suit or a fluffy pink formal are lovely to look at. To the aesthete, a landscape, a design, or a portrait bring deep satisfaction. Participation in either home economics courses or art classes encourages creativ- ity and makes us sensitive to our surroundings. ,g-:S -5 X 4. . us-- -f if - J L ! 1: l li- W- . . .,,,,-gz- ' 4 I A 'll Connie Kinzel and Donna Lance, sophomores, pre- pare a well-balanced breakfast of the basic seven in Home Ec. lll.

OUR MUSIC REFLECTS THE TEMPO OF OUR TIMES A new choir room equipped with concrete ris- ers and acoustical tile and a refurbished band room give our Music Department much to sing about. ln spite of having to share a rehearsal room vvith the basketball team, the choral groups made beautiful music together. Quartets, quintets, and sextets, in both the band and the choir, became integral parts of each organization and performed at special musical programs throughout the year. Serious music students receive training in basic techniques which become the foundation for further training. Others, who take music more lightly, find gratification in just creating harmony. In addition to chorus and band, students may take allied arts and fundamentals of music. Charles Linnemeyer, James Price, Charles Rovvlan, Ronnie Agnew, and Tom Eaklor, the band's quintet, rehearse for the annual Spring Festival. i The Robed Choir, a select group of sixty-five voices, has a final practice for the Thanksgiving assembly as Miss Britt, director, and David Sczepanski, choir president, listen attentively. 25
