Xfgmw ln Art we learned to develop our talents more fully by work- ing with others, tackling the varied assignments that were intro- duced to us by our teachers. Projects included working with water color, papier-mache, oil pastels, clay, poster paints, and charcoal. For those of us who wished to further our artistic abil ities, the Art Club was open to eighth and ninth graders. Among the many activities we participated in were the Fes- tival of the Arts and the annual exhibit at the Faulkner Gallery. Our musical experience began with the required music cours in the seventh grade. We also had the opportunity to participat in the Seventh Grade Chorus. Those of us who wished to continu in this field could join the eighth and ninth grade A Cappella, the Minority, or the Christmas or Spring Shows. Also, those who had an interest in musical instruments could be in the Band or Orchestra. These groups played for many school functions and appeared in many parades during the year.

QCIENCE PPDMPTED MANY QUEQHONQ Science was fun and interesting this year. Besides the usual class work with the textbook, students did many interesting things. Several guest speakers from various fields came in to enlighten students about their areas of scientific study. Field trips were made to the Memorial Cancer Foundation, the Museum Planetarium, tidepools, and several other places. By such field trips, students were able to experience seeing some of the things discussed in their classes. Many students worked with telescopes and microscopes trying to see into the mystery of the minute and the vast. Some students took part in the dissection of preserved animals and plants. Many students took part in the Intra-School Sci- ence Fair. Below, several of Mr. Cudney's eighth graders think they know the right answer.

Typing is taught in order to give students the opportunity to acquire a very useful skill which can be used now or in later years. Teachers alternated speed drives with accuracy drives. Besides the many typing drills, students enjoyed typing to records, typing with the speed projector, and art typing.

HERE WE GAINED USEFUL KNOWLEDGE In home economics classes we did a variety of things connected with the home. Seventh grade girls had a unit on baby sitting and grooming. In clothing they made shifts, scarves, and tote bags. Eighth graders had a unit on foreign foods and a more detailed unit on child development. Their clothing projects included skirts, blouses and shifts. Ninth graders elected one of two courses. In our sewing classes attention was focused on creativity and individuality. Baking and preparing simple dinners was emphasized in the Ninth grade general courses. A Christmas fashion show and a Spring show highlighted the year's activities. Industrial arts classes gave us insight into our mechanical world. We worked with our brawn as well as our brains through exploration in wood working and rafting to electricity and metal shop. This was a favorite class of many of us ecause we were able to do constructive work and see the physical results of our -work immediately. -4- D v., - I Mrs. Carmela Raack, Home Economics Dept.
