Means for Creative Expression Mrs. Dorothy Byers Mr. Charles Hurt Musical talent is being effectively drilled into many of our students. They started with recorders and guitar. Music teachers invited many performers to dance and present native music to clas¬ ses. The object of this was to give the students a wide variety of music. In art students dabbled in skills too numerous to mention. A few included clay modeling, pottery, needlecraft, mosaics, blockprinting, silk screening, painting, drawing, string art, and paper mache work. Mrs. Karen Mackey Mrs. Shirley Strang
