Lei The loyous news fy... g f I l This yearis SPARTANA presented a new look. A monthly newsmagazine which attempted to do more than simply recite stale scores and chronicle school events that had occurred days before, the 1975-1976 SPARTANA tried to give an in-depth look at Homestead and its inhabitants. Even the environs of Homestead-Fort Wayne and vicinity-were covered in an early issue which was an attempt to show sides of Fort Wayne that even longtime residents may have overlooked. And the SPARTANA later in the year decided to laugh at itself and the rest of us in a parody of high school newspapers. Simply doing what had been done before would have been easy for the members of the SPARTANA staffg creating a new product and defending it afforded an expe- rience that both united and rewarded the staff-an experience that will be remem- bered long after the specific content of ephemeral issues has been lost in the recesses of their minds.

Q-Q Budding Picassos. Art class is one place in a school where a lot of pressure can be liftedg it offers a release from the otherwise hectic daily rou- tine. Although there are deadlines here, too, the atmosphere is more relaxed, and one is often able to work at his own pace. He can project his innermost feelings into his creations, meaning that the product of his efforts may be a very personal thing. However, one can also do projects for fun, or to improve basic techniques. Nearly every area of art imaginable is covered to some degree at Homestead, from ceramics and acrylic painting to weaving and macrame. Theres almost no limit to the variety of things a student can achieve hereg the only real restrictions are the bounds of the imagination. my X V1 'x 1 I 310 1.47. vw, V 'bafrib lMEYil'.'I,Biv il 3'ff Q :Zi 1 ,Ir th
