For Love of Art The 1987-88 0'Gorman Art Department had a very successful program again last year. A graphics computer was added to the program to provide a new challenge and a change for the Art students. Experlmenting with the computer was fun, was the thought for senior Paula Wick. Painting the Post Office and Curtis Mathis windows at Christmas was also done to show off the students artistic talent. Few students were able to squeeze more than one or two Art ,classes into their schedules, but senior Julie Serie, took all Art classes that 0'G had to offer, and she felt that Mr. Siska is a very talented Art teacher that I give a lot of credit: if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have found out that 132 Artfp-L l have talent and a love for Art.

The first, and largest of the sheds, was built for the Athletic Department. The 8'x12 shed, made of wood, cost approximately 5500. These projects were new to the Industrial Arts department. I decided to change the class to get more interest, said Mr. Rod Garrison. Previous Woods classes had done individual projects. The decision to build the sheds was simple. There was a need, so we decided to build it. said Mr. Garrison. IAXHE 131

At O'Gorman, Mrs. Kolb, Mrs. Bradtleld, and Mrs. Pharis gave 0'Gorman students the business. For Mrs. Kolb, the business was accounting. For Mrs. Bradfleld, lt was business law. Mrs. Pharis' business was typing. Unlike Eddie Haskel's business, students found thls business had many practice applications. They used their typing skills for term papers, their accounting skills for money managment, and their knowledge of business law for increased awareness of their civil rights.
