Art students sold drawings, paintings and other crafts to earn S900 for supplies for the Art Department. Raffle tickets sold on chances for winning a patchwork quilt brought in 5650. The quilt, which took Mrs. Altharetta Yeargin's art students 320 hours to make and was valued at 35400, was won by Senior Sally Drury. Mrs. Dillion's white-on- white hooked rug was auctioned off to the highest bidder, Senior class secretary Mrs. Ava lean Mears, for 545.

Students enjoyed throwing baseballs at papermache likenesses of grade level Principals james Carthel, Bill Moreland, Olan Halbert and Margaret Luther made by Mrs. Dillion's Art Il students. Students got three throws for a quarter and if they knocked one down they got a raffle ticket for the quilt. There were also eight individual booths rented by outsiders who sold their own art work. Together the art sale gave people a chance to buy good, inexpensive pieces of art. il Paintings and crafts are displayed for prospective buyers.
