ART As every year, the Art Department has stayed busy by always making sure the halls of Stuart weren’t bare. For the first time, and Art Honor So¬ ciety was created to acknowledge the abilities of many talented students. To finish the year with success, the Art Department once again sponsored a fantastic art show enjoyed by all, spectator and participant. 27 MRS. McMAHON MRS. SEIDEL Mrs. McMahon and Mrs. Seidel work on a masterpiece. MR. DUBIN MR. ROOKS Sock it to them, Mr. Dubin. FINE ARTS Mr. Rooks, in his first year here at Stuart, di¬ rected our various choral groups in “something old’’—the Christmas Concert and the Spring Con¬ cert, and “something new”—our very own fresh¬ men boys’ chorus. Our Madrigals provided another year of traditional songs with a “classical touch.” Stuart’s band, directed by Mr. Dubin, partici¬ pated in new formations during football halftimes, and showed their appreciation for Mr. Dubin, their “Man For All Seasons” during the Jefferson game’s halftime. Says Mr. Dubin, “If the Band does well in the annual Band Festival, we’ll make a trip to Virginia Beach toward the end of the year. faculty

Whispers of heavenly death murmur’d I hear, Labial gossip of night, sibilant chorals, Footsteps gently ascending, mystical breezes wafted soft and low, Ripples of unseen rivers, tides of a current flowing, forever flowing (Or is it the plashing of tears? the measureless waters of human tears?) I see, just see skyward, great cloud-masses; Mournfully, slowly they roll, silently swelling and mixing, With at times a half-dimm’d sadden’d far-off star, Appearing and disappearing. (Some parturition rather, some solemn immortal birth; On the frontiers to eyes impenetrable, Some soul is passing over.) Walt Whitman IN MEMORIUM faculty

It’s the language lab—you can see students who appear to be talking to themselves, with black things on their heads and wires emerging from their ears. Their leader is listening in at the front of the room and switching buttons on and off madly trying desperately to catch students ' blunders and mispronounciations. Then, the tape recorder stops, the students disengage their headgear and file silently out of the room. The head of all this is the mysterious and awesome—ALM! A fearful leader that no one has ever seen in person, he manifests himself in the form of tape recorders, visual aids, and text books. He continues to lead the German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Portuguese students ever onward. MR. IRVIN— MRS. CERCONE Department Head FOREIGN LANGUAGE MRS. CONDIT DR. ESSER MRS. ISAKOV MRS.
