Artistic watercolors take shape as Thomas Balut, Santo Toro, and Karen Kubinak add the correct touches here and there. Art Department Art adds color and beauty to our pattern. The depart- ment contributes to school functions by designing and making posters, stage settings, and prom decorations. Throughout the year, studies in still life, the human figure, and nature are on view informally at the Women's Club, and in our Sidewalk and Indoor Exhibits. Artistic training leads the way to a career in the field or pleasant diversion. Anne H. Massopust B.S. Department Head Adviser, Paletteers, Halls of Ivy Charles Bachman points out a detail in his sketch to Pat Psota, an interested observer. The boat basin provides an attractive subject for Kenneth Hansen and Ronald Jacob during an outdoor art period.

Th« flutes and piccolo, played by Wil- liam Sarancxalc, Joyce Lattal, and Vir- ginia Moravek, add a lilt to our orchestra music. Music Department Harmony is contributed to our design by the Music Department. Our assembly programs are en- livened by the rhythmic selections of the swing band and orchestra, the tuneful melodies of the glee clubs and selective chorus. The band leads us to victory on the football field. Highlighting the school year are the Christmas pro- gram, the Winter Band Concert, and the Cavalcade of Music. The presentations at graduation round out the pattern of our high school days. John R. Janderup B.S.Ed.

Physical Education Department Students in a freshman health class learn the parts of the human body as Mary Ann Swoboda points them out on a chart. Proper habits of body care are essential for the maintenance of good health. Co-ed freshman classes learn the objectives of Health Education and prevention of dis- ease. During the next three years, girls and boys in separate classes discuss first aid; community, home, and personal hygiene; and personality development. Boys take driver education while girls study home nursing and child care. Through beneficial instruction, we become healthy normal citi- zens, both mentally and physically.
