MUSIC AND ART DEPARTMENT Mrs. Hickman The Art, Instrumental, and Choral sections of the Fine Arts Department are headed by Rachel Ann Hichman, Connie Dichler, and Walter Heck, respectively. The Art Department, which involves the Middle and Elementary schools, stresses the creativity of each student. Setting its goals as theory, technique, and music appreciation, the instrumental section, which includes marching and concert band, enters in state and area competition. While its goals are similar to the instrumental section, the choral program is more active in religious programs, the yearly musicals and fall and spring concerts. 18
