An In Depth Study Art Appreciation is an assortment of many different things including famous artists in the past and pre- sent, their lives, their styles and their techniques. In both Art and Art Appreciation, the student learns of the different types of art, such as paintings and sculptures. Students also learn about the different tools used in many types of art. Art students not only learn about these tools, but also learn how to use them. Both Art and Art Appreciation broaden a student ' s knowledge of art in many forms. Paula Dickey, Karen Gardner, Debbie Kumburis, Judy Mattox, Sue Maley, Allana Miller and Diane Thinnes take time from an absorbing Art Appreciation class to pose for a picture. Janine O ' Mara works diligently on an art project. Liz Dodson and Sue Teipen add a few last minute touches before putting their creations into the kiln.

Social Studies Explore Past And Present United States History, World History, Government and Economics comprise Our Lady of Grace ' s Social Studies Depart- ment. Not only the when and how, but, most important, the why of the past and present events are explored by students delving into these courses. World His- tory is made much more interesting by the small plays written and delivered by the students themselves, while Father Vogelsang adds his own bit of acting to liven students. The Government and Economics class also added a new twist to their class — instead of using the usual textbook, John Kenneth Gal- braith ' s The Affluent Society was studied very thoroughly. Karla Kunkel points out the location of the Chinese Empire. Father Vogelsang gives U.S. History students another one of his spine- tingling lectures on the blunders of great men in history. Debbie Kumburris, Claudia Dominik, Judy Mattox and Donna Zazopoulos recreate the French Revolution.

Of The Arts Music and Music Appreciation are two subjects designed for the cultural devel- opment of a student. In both classes, the student studies many forms of music from many different periods of time, such as the Classical Period, and comes to appreciate them. A group of Freshmen find their appreciation of music in singing a light, happy song. Terry Haller listens as Pat Dugan plays her new musical selection.
