4' What FUN! DESIGN The imaginative members of the design classes created intricate and symbolic structures, which ran the gamut from mobiles to complex pa- per shapes. Much of their handiwork graced the interiors of our school, producing strange and varied com- ments as to their worth, but adding greatly to the esthetic stimulation of students. Directed by Mrs. Hall, each clbss met three times a week. The basic purpose of the class was to provide artistic aspirants with a means of ex- pression through art form. gl sv. CERAMICS The ceramics and sculpturing classes made not only pots and bowls, but also decorative panels, mosaic designs, and plaster sculp- ture. Mr. Jacobson stressed organic forms and conveyed his ideas through bits and pieces of nature which he brought into class. Once they realized that techniques must be perfect, the classes faced the problem of thinking in three dimen- sions. Through built-up and cut-out shapes, new ideas took form. xfef L 4- cg.:

Exulting with Christianson, exhorting with Bee- thoven, and springing high with Edward Grieg, the choraleers found excitement and beauty in eight- part music. The season began with a bong as the 110 members traveled to Boston to perform before the New England Association of School Superin- tendents. The annual December concert, under the watchful eye of a suspended angel, communicated to the audience the real feeling of Christmas. The group braved February ice and slush to ioin in the dedication of the new post office. When blues and greens could be seen through the open-door of the practice room, they rehearsed music for the spring concert. The underclassmen in the group are un- daunted by the fact that the large group of seniors will be leaving, for the gap will soon be filled.
