His swirling pen amazed all who saw him. Mr. Jack Shields, a renowned Southeastern watercolor artist, gave many art students pointers on how to do good watercolor paintings. Mr. Roben Voight gave a slide show entitled Bicentennial Art which was enjoyed by the entire school, and Ms. Becky Peterzell had an art display for the Lower School while giving two lectures to the Upper School: How to Look at Contemporary Art and Looking at the World Around us.

They also listened to Mrs. Vickie King play the piano in her performance entitled American Piano Music Puppet Parade.

Change of Pace The annual Change of Pace day was successful in bridging the generation gap again this year. Residents enjoyed musical presentations and the production by the second graders of Melvin the Magnificent. The Pace family really hated to see the Campbell-Stone residents leave and looked forward to next year's visit.
