The Art Department of Lee High School has endeavored to instill in its three hundred students a realization of the rewards and challenges that an understanding of the arts can bring to each individual. ln these singular methods, Mr. Benedict, Mrs. Gardner and Mrs. Hull have taught that art has reflected the evolution of all cultures, that the elements of art can be both enjoyable and fulfilling, and that art is an integral part of our lives. This active department sponsored the visit to the Guggenheim Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The department sponsored the First Annual Art Show in affiliation with the Art Guild, another important branch of an effective and often underrated department.
