Art students pooled their artistic abilities to supply posters announcing events occurring at school and pro- grams for plays and concerts held in the school audi- torium. Art students also entered the Scholastic Art Con- test. The classes painted various scenes on the windows of the cafeteria and hall. The art department also cooperated with Mars mer- chants by painting windows with a Halloween theme. Crafts helped students develop their creative ability in the use of clay, enamel, leather goods, and porcelain. Miss Sandra Creighton, the vocal teacher in the Music department, helped Jr. High students expand their appre- ciation of music.

V- 'f,..c. INDUSTRIAL ART ,J Tit? .5 MR. RYNER ilulrncls izuiior high students in wnorl slmp. The Industrial Arts department helps to develop the stu- dent's creative ability and skill. A student taking these subjects is offered a semester or more in metal work, plastics, or mechanical drawing. Having at their disposal modern safety equipment, the students reveal their abilities by the products they turn out, All precautions are taken with the machinery and tools. Every boy must know how to use the equipment and must pass safety tests to be qualified to operate it. The experiences the students have had in the shop pro- gram may be useful to them in the later life, either as a trade or in the home workshop. Seventh grade boys are required to take one year of wood shop. This serves as an introduction to the entire Industrial Arts program. The specific objectives are to teach hand tools, safety, the jig-saw, drill press, and mortising machine.
