The students have progressed from the use of pencil to charcoal to chalks. Besides drawing, the art classes make pottery, wood-cuts, plus sculpturing and working with colors. For the school, they have made programs for all productions including concerts and plays. In the fall and spring, they carried out art shows in the library. Other departments were given needed support from the Art Department. They made scenery for the Christmas Concert, ‘““Hernando’s,” the Holly Ball, Miss Meadow- brook pageant, the Junior-Senior Prom, Easter program, and “Bye Bye Birdie.” They designed the cover of the “Sceptre,” drew the proposed football field and started a permanent art collection for the school by presenting Mr. Moore with two paintings. Among other contests, they competed in the Red Cross Contest, Home Art and the Keep Virginia Green Contest.
