— PM Artists They Color The World Art students aban- doned crayolas and moved on to bigger and better things in he PM art department. Ideas came to reality; students used imagination and were able to show off talents. Perry Meridian offered a variety of art courses. From watercolor to ce- ramics, students could choose which class was suitable to their interests. A few of the advanced courses offered were sculpture, print making, drawing and visual de- signing. These classes taught the techniques of working with metals, the elements of print making, and the ropes of mo- crame. Visual design dealt with the many forms of art in the field of com- munications. Sculpture added another dimension to students talents through the use of clay, plaster, and papier mache. Another point of art could be found in his- torical and environmental art. The class taught the reflections art has made on culture and the world. These courses proved that art at Perry Meridian, shaped the mind, de- signed the body, and col- ored the world. Debbie Fisher, Brenda Ford, and Jenny Dixon enjoy a breal from thie harder classes of their day in Mr. Walraven ' s sixth period jewelry class. The Michael Angelos of Perry Meridian proudly display their works of art in the art department ' s showcase. IT i 134 Art

- A Taste Of College Three R ' s Go To College The college bound student hod it rough. The courses taken were more difficult than most and in- volved much time and worl . College algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and analytical geometry were the advanced math courses offered at PM and were designed to prepare students for the type of math they would encounter in col- lege. Writing term papers involved many long hours in the IMC re- searching, outlining, and taking notes. Writing for a specific purpose helped improve skills by writing on various literary works. Fortunately, no cases of writers ' cramp were re- ported in either class. Physics helped students under- stand inventions of modern times such as television and radio. The class was patterned after college courses required in many fields of study. The first year of foreign language orientated students to the lan- guage. The next years involved much more grammar, which gave students problems whether it was in French, German, Spanish, or Latin. Students soon realized that even offer the long awaited graduation, there were still four years of notes, tests, and forgotten assignments. Also known, was the fact that the best courses had been taken to prepare for those years. Mr. Clore ' s trigonometry class poses as a three dimensional human graph. In Mr. Brouillette ' s physics class, dem- onstrations were always something to look forward to. 136 College Bound
