Overlea s community viewed lathe artsf, A pleasant, spring evening accented the mood for a lively pageant. Overlea's Arts Festival presented a combination of creativity and individuality in gay ninety style. Students ex- pressed themselves through the fine arts of painting, sculp- ture, music, and dance. The major attraction of the festival seemed to be the art exhibition. One-man shows were pre- sented by Chris Griffin, Scott Hill, Lloyd Thompson, Susan Lynch, LeRoy Kehring, Charles Jones, John Fahey, Lynda Foltz, Joy Chilcote, and Tyrone Helminiak. Much of their artistry was on sale to the public. Additional exhibits were displayed by the Photography Club and mechanical drawing III class. Much preparation was needed in anticipation of success and, after a few final touches, they presented their festival to the members of the Overlea community. The enthusiasm of the spectators, as well as that of the students, showed ap- preciation of these fine art forms. Fran Sherril and Janet McGlynn danced an original interpretation called The Life and Death of a Scarecrow. Spectators viewing the talents of Overlea art students streamed through the outdoor exhibition area.
