Andrew, a member of the Chief’s basketball team, is an exceptional athlete. However, Andrew's talents are not limit- ed to basketball, he’s also an aspiring artist. As a child, he was consis- tantly exposed to art through his brothers who are currently attending art school. He has enjoyed drawing since child- hood but did not become aware of his talent until junior high school. As a freshman at Providence Junior High School, Andrew designed the cover for the yearbook. An- other major accomplishment in junior high was his winning pencil drawing in the teen art show. Andrew’s major endeavor at Monacan has been designing and painting the mascot onthe Aspiring Artist Concentration: With requisite care and concentration, Andrew Crank puts the finishing touches on his massive “chief.” gym wall. Last year Andrew submitted his ideas and was chosen over the other 50 en- tries. He spent approximately 200 hours painting the giant chief on horseback. As a junior, Andrew was se- lected as Junior Senior Prom Decorating Chairman due to his artistic talents. When asked how he man- aged to participate whole heartedly in two very time con- suming hobbies; basketball and art, Andrew said that it was not as hard as it may seem. He enjoys basketball but doubts he will pursue a ca- reer in that sport. He plans to attend college and study art and establish himself as a commercial artist. Juniors 111
