ART AND MUSIC FOSTER SELF EXPRESSION Steve Lewis and Diane Hope paint the ceramics they made in art class. Tony Partin and George Metz find perspective drawing has its problems. Mrs. Ellen Camden teaches art and Mr. Jay Meek teaches music at Northampton High and at Cheriton, Birdsnest, and Exmore-Willis Wharf elementary schools. The Music Department, with Mr. Meek as its director, has 47 members, who are from all five grades. During a school year the band is engaged in various activities both as a class and as an organi¬ zation. As a class, the band learns the fundamentals of expression and the techniques to be used in per¬ formance. As an organization, it uses talent and labor in performing for school functions, football games, pep rallies, and at public events, such as Armed Forces Day and the Exmore Chamber of Com¬ merce Christmas program. The Band also gives an annual spring concert in connection with the school chorus. Art students have opportunities for creative expression and development of techniques. The Art Department displays its work on attractive bulletin boards in the hall at regular intervals. Students have the opportunity of electing four years of art train¬ ing. Johnny Downing rolls his clay while Bill Valos uses the potter’s wheel. 24
