Fulfillingindividua is goal of cultural studies Encouraging creativity and in- dividual expression was the job of the Art and Music Departments. Under the direction of art de- partment head, loe Reynolds, the Pioneer artists provided honors for themselves and a wealth of decorative displays. Art students created original items from rugs to jewelry. General techniques of art were learned in Arts 1-8 while other arts courses specialized in certain areas. Com- mercial art classes stressed adver- tisement layout while pupils in lettering and jewelry learned the techniques in their field. Meanwhile, Pioneer musicians developed their talents under Mr. Darrel Horton, music department head. Besides the usual band, or- chestra, and chorus classes, North- west had several unique courses. These included Dance Band and Swing Choir. Courses in music theory and appreciation were also taught to enable Pioneers to ob- tain a minor in music. l talents 4, M Ny! ig?
