Students in Miss Marie Orr's arts and crafts classes and Leo Erandt's photography classes received training and experience in creative expression which, if continued throughout post- school days, will provide worthwhile leisure time activity and perhaps profitable vocations. Lawrence Davenport, Joan Marsh, Elma Lough and Alfred Miller received cherished Gold Achievement Keys for work entered in the regional Scholastic art contest at Wichita. Davenport was one of a few student artists throughout the nation to receive a National Scho- lastic Art Award scholarship. Elma Lough was chairman of the Art Service Committee which provided posters and other displays used to promote many school activities during the year. Other committee mem- liers were Beverly Lander, Sue Kitching, Joan Marsh, James Rose, Rosalyn Tipton and Alice oewe. Artists gave performances of living pictures of famous paintings of the Christmas story before two Newton groups. Crafts students made many Christmas gifts and other useful articles. At the end of the year, arts and crafts students made decorations for several stu- dent banquets. Miss Orr and the art department also entertained the state art teachers convention. Photography Students Don Royston, Marvin Smith and Barbara Parker won honorable mention awards in the regional Scholastic photography contest. In addition to work with his students, Mr. Brandt spent many hours doing photography for the Newtonian and Railroader.
