ART DEPARTMENT The Art Department was headed by Mrs. Welch this year. The department was very active in taking trips to Olivet, Battle Creek, and Jack-son to enter and observe art displays. A new copper enameling kiln was added and an Art Club was formed by interested art students. Ceramics and painting classes proved to be the biggest interest to students. MRS. SUSAN WELCH gives helpful hints in sculpturing. BAND The Music Department under the direction of Mr. Novess, had a very busy year. The department was made up of active students who were interested in expressing themselves through music. The band and chorus spent many hours practicing, and performed for the public many times. The Department added a new piano and overhauled some of the school's instruments for better playing. Music is heard as MR. JAMES NOVESS directs one of the bands. 28
