Ambur Klein weaves a basket during the Fine Arts Festival. Within a week of the Fair, the art classroom was transformed into a gallery, displaying students' projects. Ann McNally and Darci Bandi take some time to look at the Art Show in the hallway. Purchasing a ticket for the Art Show wasn't necessary like the other activities. Yvonne Klassy and Robert Vickerman act as critics for the art work. All articles for the art show were contributed by students at MHS. Michelle Tindell points out a detail from the display in the halls of MHS during the Fine Arts Festival, jenny Rawson takes in the information, listening intently. OUT OF CLASS INTO CULTURE Students arriving at school a little late on the final days before the Fine Arts Festival found a long line in the M-Room. The latecomers grabbed one of the green pamphlets that had been floating around MHS the past few weeks and got in line behind the rest. Tickets for the various activities available could be obtained only one at a time before and after school and during lunch. They had to be signed by both students and teachers for the hour they would be missing. Although getting out of class' seemed to be the main objective of most students, many found a variety of films and workshops they were anxious to check out. Freshman, Sheryl Metcalf commented, I heard a lot about the Festival from upper classmen, especially how great it is to get out of class! But I also found a lot of interesting workshops to go to. The last two days of the week found the halls of MHS filled with artists, poets, authors, and musicians. Susan Gardels, artist in residence, gave workshops in creative writing and art; Margaret George, Madison, gave presentations on the writing of a novel using her book The Autobiography of Henry VIII as an example for the students. Other presentations included art and fashion shows, members of the American Players Theatre, and classic films such as Rebel Without a Cause starring James Dean. Students looked forward to the biannual Fine Arts Festival, not only as a change of pace or as a way to get out of class, but also as a chance to have a good time while seeing the careers of many professionals. MHS had a taste of wnat the arts mean to other people and what Fine Arts mean to themselves. FINE ARTS FAIR 21
