Chairman, Mr. John Albrezzi Mr. William O'Connor The functions of the Art Department are two-fold: it is an outlet for individual expres- sion and it helps to develop artistic skills. So that students can develop an apprecia- tion of the fine arts and of commercial design, there are courses ranging from oil painting to the newest course, Arts and Crafts. In these classes students are given the opportunity to create through painting, carving, etching and several other mediums. In this way, basic concepts of art and artistic theories are instilled in the student. Next year, Mr. O'Connor will instruct a course in brush lettering with the emphasis on commercial sign painting. Students who have hand dexterity will greatly benefit by the introduction of this course into the Art Curriculum.
