N ART SERVICE COMMITTEE Cut-outs of football players, Christmas spires, Hallowe'en spir- its, and outstretched suns ap- peared on the cafeteria wall as the school year passed from one season to another. Strange exhi- bits of flying fish and mobiles decorated the lounge. Through the year we saw the work of the Art Service Committee all around us. Working with cans of gold spray, mammoth shears, and wide expanses of colored paper, the members organized displays and made posters for countless school functions. Mr. Fabry and Mrs. Hall sponsored the committee, while Liz Shera and Sharon Whit- ney were student officers. CERAMICS CLUB Pottery wasn't the only thing that these dexterous lads and losses made from clay. They used their imagination to create forms ranging from statues to iewelry. When their works were displayed, they stimu- lated much interest, even if their symbolism was not always apparent. Guided by Mr. Jacobson, the group enioyed crossing into a new world, that of abstract art, where one's creative sense is one's guide. 7 J J ' ' 1 fn. rw dm' f,N5ffF Left to Right: Pete Dixon, Mr. Fabry, Raquel Garcia, .lo Carol Riggio, Ted Thomp son, Beverly Byrne, Elizabeth Shera, Kaspar Leipins, Dempster Leech, Sharon Whitney, Brooke Maddux, Kathy O'ConnelI. fue' mai I Left to Right: Barbara Rollin, Cynthia Zimkus, Marion Kellam, Carla Jepsen, Ellen Shipman, Bonnie Ward, Elise Boger, Barbara Skinner, Gaye Arakelian, Nancy Blod, Ann Beckman, Peggy Fannon.
