Fine Arts students search out new methods to express ideas Mann’s fine arts classes, which in¬ cluded art, speech and music, provided students with valuable experiences in ex¬ pression. Students chose subjects with which they found they were most at ease. Enrolled in graphic arts, pupils em¬ ployed themselves drawing with pencil, ink or various types of color paints. Speech classes practiced expressing thoughts through dialog, debate or coping with controversy. Many class members fought the old enemy, stage fright; some conquered. Vocal students worked at breath control, voice production and reading scores. Working at an easel, Victor Lopez sketches a still life for later painting. Ann Bynum serves as live model for everyone in Art 1 to sketch. Marilyn Vantrece is aided in her Art 1 sketch by ideas from Mrs. Shirley Shaevel. Singing the finale of the memorial program honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Drama Club members join hands during the number to sym¬ bolize the dream of Dr. King’s life for his people.
