Is It Just O I think of art as an expression of a person's mind through their hands, said Heather Stephens, de- scribing her feelings about art. Most students who took a course involving art, dramatic art, or mu- sic, felt that the hard work and abundance of time involved was worth it every time that they were recognized. Art students used many different media to achieve the desired effect for an art work. A new addition to possible projects included draw- ings on the new art computer. An- other advantage available was join- ing of the national art honor society. Musically, students gained hon- ors in chorus, band, and strings, Carla Davies, a member of the singing Christmas tree, that per- formed in Washington, D.C. said, I enjoyed working with other stu- dents from different schools. It was a lot of fun. The marching band gathered many awards and honors in the rush it up! Junior Lanie Ross paints a mural on the hall.

Ioe Riopelle said, The band has a winning attitude and we try to show that in every performance. The strings department also par- ticipated in the singing Christmas tree. One of the strings classes was part of the experimental sunset!- sunrise program. James Garrett, an early morning student said, Get- ting up in the morning wasn't easy, but I benefitted from the class, so it was worth it. The drama department contin- ued in offering a class to students who were interested in communi- cation and wanted to learn to ex- press themselves. Students who wanted to further their education in the dramatic arts went to the Fine Arts Center. Gifted students are not essential to good artistic programs. Willing students, gifted teachers, and a sup- porting school and community are. Mauldin qualified in all areas.

Most art- ists don't get recognized until after their death. I'd like to be able to en- joy the benefits that my art brings, said Wil- liam.
