Art Students Display Skills In County Show Mr. Clinton Hudson's advanced art classes went a step further than usual to find new ways in which to display their artistic ability. They found jewelry making an exciting and time-consuming task. Students took on such challenges as bracelets, rings, and cuff links. Beginners found art to be more than just drawing and painting pictures. The art course included a study of art appreciation and the history of art. The first works by beginners were basic drawings such as sketching and water coloring. As the students’ skills developed, county art departments displayed students' talents to the public in an art show on the courthouse square, November 26.

Maids Josephine Flemming, Flester Collier, Venora Robinson, and Ruth Cannon open the doors and prepare Shanks for another day. 35
