In four years of school, students work out a total of almost 480 hours in such pur- suits as basketball, volleyball, swimming, trampoline, gym- nastics, and dance. Like the gym department, the music department is inter- ested in the development of basic skills, timing, and co- ordination. The two music teachers direct several choruses, an orchestra, and two bands. To our two art teachers, art is both a vocation and an avocation. One is an expert potter, and the other an expert painter. In addition to instruction in these areas, the de- partment offers courses ranging from art appreciation, to commercial art, to design.
