PURPLE it CULD Diversified Work Done by Art Department What an opportunity the boys and girls of McKinley are offered in the subject of art. As the study of Drawing has been enlarged to the term Art so the opportun- ities offered have also been broadened, until now boys and girls may follow their special interest even within the subject itself. All art training is an attempt to lay a foun dation for the general appreciation of art whether this training be along the line of crafts, pictorial art, or stage craft. Besides the interest in the work of the classroom the student of the art classes has the practical experience of the art work connected with producing the Annual, Operetta and class plays. Costumes were designed and painted by advanced classes, properties created by craft classes, the stage sets built and shifted by the stage craft and crew. Such is the teamwork found within our art departments, and with such evident hearthy cooperation offered from other deparments, the arts at McKinley cannot fail to accomplish their aini.-Prtulinc Blank, Frumlty Member.
