Expressive Art The people involved in the art depart- ment during the year helped to strengthen the experience and skill of all the students. Mrs. Gayle Adams taught advanced art and seventh and eighth grade art. Mrs. Flo Wills, who is new at Prep, taught ad- vanced art and seventh, eighth, and ninth grade art. The art department has been growing and expanding over the last few years. A new potter's wheel was added to the ce- ramics department. Also, Mrs. Wills brought in outside speakers such as john Caddis, the watercolorist, and Don Lam- bert, whose speciality is silk screening. The atmosphere in the art department was one of free thinking in which the stu- dents could become involved in the area of their individual interests. Every person could do his own thing. One never walked in to see everyone doing the same thing. fupper rightj As Mrs. Wills pointed out some improvements in her sketch, Lisa Robinson looked on., 54 '..... . s.11. efss fiie ' A is f W , , :,.n 'X :V j5,ffks'.

The home economics courses offered were eighth and ninth grade homemaking and Home Economics I and II at high school level. All were optional except for eighth- grade Home Economics, which was required. Mrs. Wilkinson's classes took various field trips such as to the Butcher Shop and grocery and furniture stores. Guest speak- ers often visited the Home Economics De- partment, and many visual aids were used to make certain subjects clearer and more interesting. During a busy Home Economics class, Beth Rives, Lynn Lovelace, and Pam Moreli enjoyed making exciting cookie concoctions. 5' ' w wx iii Q 1 1' M . .6 .1 . . swf f,,L..1s Q ii 3 ,', -Eff,-135: if ia m g After a cooking class during Home Economics, Beth Bush prepared to take a required sample of her work. 56 Witsvki With Mrs. Wilkinson's able assistance, Sondra Godfrey worked eagerly to complete her sewing project. i
