Fine Arts play an essential role in providing all those experience necessary jor young people living in an era of cultural renaissance A last minute tie adjustment is given Kit Kemper by Deanna Burghard just before they join the Counterpoints on stage. According to magazine and newspaper articles, the United States is undergoing a cultural renais- sance with increasing interest being shown in those subjects identified with the Fine Arts Department. The same trend is indicated at North Central by the fact that more and more pupils are taking part in activities which develop creativeness and imagina- tion, both of which are necessary for true apprecia- tion of modern American culture. Programs such as the Band-O-Rama, a concert by the Instrumental Music division; musicals staged by the Choral Music division for the Jamboree; and plays by Thespians and the Drama Club, provide an opportunity for North Centralites to gain poise in appearing before the public. Participants also learn to interpret the works of master composers and authors and to project themselves into the person- alities and actions of other people. Art classes functioned as an outlet for creative ability and fostered an appreciation of all art forms. Ten class members received honors in the State Scholastic Art contest this year and two went on to national competition. In addition to working on class projects, art pupils assisted in other areas of the Fine Arts Department by painting scenery and publicity posters and lending their talents to what- ever projects their abilities would apply.
