Mr. Philip White Miss Karen Hoefner Mr. Peter Strafaci The Art Department has contributed greatly to the social and cultural activities of Longwood High School. They have sponsored an Art Sale under the auspices of Ferdinand Roten Galleries ol' Baltimore, Maryland, featuring original graphic art. Next year, they hope to add sculpture and custom framing. A private art sale was held by the senior students. The Art and Music Departments, through much time and preparation, have brought us Festival '67, the fifth of its kind. A field trip to Lincoln Center and the Guggenheim Museum was taken by the students in the Humanities Course. The Art Department is planning an overnight trip to Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts. The Independent Workshop is a new program for senior art majors who construct their own programs under their advisor. This gives the student an opportunity to advance in the areas which interest him most. The Art Department also sponsored a Creative Christmas Ornament Contest, which the student body found very intriguing.
