S. Varga, R. Vargo, B. Wasi- leski, P. Theis, D. Rhodes, J. Demcoe enjoy applying the various art mediums. The Stardust is transposed onto the sketching boards of Richard Ratajczak, David Staf- ford and Joseph Melchisky. The true artists discovered a perfect outlet for their talents in the Art Depart- ment. There they learned everything from pencil sketching to oil painting. The school's clubs ond councils kept them busy making posters, stage backgrounds, and Prom decorations. It was a novelty to find a bulletin board which was not covered with masterpieces from Room 233. Outdoor sketching assignments were eagerly awaited by all and, strange as it seems, a new subject could always be dis- covered on or adjacent to the school's grounds. The experience gained while working on these projects and many more was an invaluable asset to Life’s Canvas. Anne H. Massopust, B.S. Head of Department Ida Dressier, B.S.Ed.

Janderup On Leave John V. Seaman A.M. in Mu.Ed. Adviser, Keyboard, Glee and Record Collectors Clubs Music was the soft tone that gave a touch of refinement to our canvas. In Music Appreciation class we listened with pleasure to the works of the old masters and analyzed them, while in Swing Band assemblies we swayed and clapped our hands to the modern beat of the State Street Kentons. From the music and band rooms came well prepared artists. Mr. Seaman's theory courses provided a solid foundation for our more talented musicians; Mr. Hudak’s instrument lessons were the basis of a fine orchestra. The recitals and concerts given by the Music Department were the final proof of the program's worth. Students of a music theory class enrich their musical background as Eleanor Tallarico explains the development of a composition by Wagner. Forest Corley, A.B. Band, Orchestra
