Roncalli is graced by a highly developed art department which has risen out of much hard work and natural talent. The contribu- tions made by the art department to the RHS community are very highly praised by those who see them. Students often stand in amaze- ment at the work of their fellow classmates. Sister Rosaria O'Callaghan kindled the will to work in her students and inspired them to produce work they can be proud of. Many art students were surprised at the talent that was tapped in them at RHS. Art students had the chance to display their work in the RHS lobby throughout the school year but the goal worked toward throughout the year was the Art Show held in May in conjunction with the Fine Arts Festi- val. This gave students the chance to show off their talent and accomplishments. The Roncalli Art Department is truly fine arts. Teacher Taps Talent in Art Students A.

Music Makes People Beautiful Roncalli High School band members worked hard to produce the type of performance that made their director, Mr. Raymond Herdina, so proud of them. The band practiced seventh hour every day and also held ex- tra practices to prepare them- selves for concerts and the Region IV Music Contest that they attend each year. The band also fired-up the student body during pep as- semblies and athletic contests. Several Roncalli Junior High band members were invited to play with the RHS band and stage band. These junior high members were an asset to the band and a credit to what is happening on the junior high level. The stage band gave students with the will to work an exciting chance to increase their talent. Mr. Herdina is proud of the accomplishments made by the RHS band and the stage band and rightly so, Roncalli is proud of them.
