Sally Johns Self-expression, Beauty Come From Art Rooms Expression of beauty and creativity are the goals of the art department. Students may attempt to reach these goals through any number of activities. These include sculpturing, painting, sketching, ab- stract design, graphics, and ceramics. This helps to provide hobbies and enjoyment that can remain a part of the future lives of Redskins. It also may increase their appreciation of fine art while building their personalities, an important part of every stu- dent ' s education and maturing process. Field trips on several instances throughout the year provide a varied curriculum for art students. Making decorations for dances and other special events give students an interesting diversion from their regular work while they perform a service for the school. Industrious Art 1 students appear to be their latest project, a pencil sketch of Ron Franke watches intently as Sue Leamon carefully create a design with letters, similar to those in the background. 27

de implements. Vocation Instruction And Home Economy Train Flying sparks and the smell of sawdust are com- mon sights and smells around the various industrial arts classes at the Dome. In these classes, including ; wood, drawing, and metal, boys learn to handle tools and design all sorts of things from lamps to office buildings. In wood classes the boys choose a special project on which they work the whole semes- ter. Metal classes are assigned a semester project to work on which will acquaint them with all of the various types of machines. Drawing classes give the boys an understanding of the principles of mechan- ical drawing. From these drawing tables come basic plans for all shop projects. These manual arts courses give the boys a back- ground in using tools and machines which should be of aid to them if they choose to enter a field involving manual skills after high school. Whether they enter this type of profession or not, these courses are designed to be helpful in solving every- day problems which may arise at anytime. 28
