New Programs Inaugurated Fl RTS A Silk-Screen Processing Center was established this year by the Art Department which enabled students to make posters for publicity purposes for the Fine Arts Division. Students in the Basic Design Class did the actual designing of the various posters to advertise concerts, plays and other programs sponsored by the Fine Arts Division. A Co-Educational class in dancing was also established this year, which taught folk, modern, social and tap dancing. The class was a joint effort of HCI C and the Athens Little Theater Group and was initiated in order to develop interest in dance on the local level. Charlotte Graham, a part-time instructor, taught the course. Maryln Nichols taught Guitar, a new course in Music. The course covered the fundamentals of music as related to the gui- tar, and included techniques for the beginner as well as methods to improve the skills of the more advanced guitar player. The course was well received , with a beginning enrollment of twelve . Lois Cullipher aided the Art Department in the fall semester as a part-time instructor. She taught Introduction to Art and Basic Drawing under the direction of Lois Maxwell. This Department offers courses for those students majoring or minor- ing in Art or Elementary Education, or for those simply inter- ested in art as a hobby.
