A t The MOV1.6S.' F0RA1'tS by Mary Kay Pickard The art club film was put together by the FORArtS Club, I consisting of about 25 membersj. The FORArtS Club and Mr. Gessford, art instruc- tor, with some aid from Mr. Lehnert, a KSUprofessor, did a study on non- objective art. Non-objective art deals with non- representation meaning that the artist does not think of' representa- tional objects while he is working. It also deals with the sense of percep- tion. For example, the artist might draw how a flower smells instead of how it looks. The goal of this Him was to hope- fully educate the public on the sub- ject of' non-objective art. It was dis- tributed to universities across the nation and was aired on PBS televi- sion Ichannels 45f49j. The film was started in March and completed in May.

Creeps Alive A Night by Mary Kay Pickard October 31 to November 2, the halls of the school were filled with the bellowing screams and terrifying screeches of the action taking place inside the locker room. The Haunted Locker Room was sponsored by the FORArts Club. The club spent two weeks preparing for their performance, which Advisor Ken Gessford, said was Absolutely fan tastic. A number of scenarios from Fe- male Phantom of the Opera, to a Surgeon with Chainsaws, Various Tunnels of Doom, the Blinding Ligh t to Deafening Sound and many more revived the hearts of the daring visitors. An anonymous freshman said, It was spooky! Sophomore Lori Cisch said, It was better than the ones around town. 26X Haunted Lockerroom HFQKQSC 515 fe fi srl! 2 il X!

FS Looks At US Culture by Mary Kay Pickard Venturing across the world to visit and explore another country was what the AFS Club was all about. The general purpose of this activi- ty program was to promote better understanding among people throughout the world through stu- dent exchanges and to allow students to pursue their interest in interna- tional relations and world understanding. This year, three AFS students vis- ited Roosevelt: one from Japan, one from the Netherlands and one from Switzerland. These students were ac- tive in many areas at Roosevelt. Kanako Morinaka from Tokyo, Ja- pan was hosted by the Ben Bassham family. She was the Art Club secre- tary and a member of the girl is bas- ketball team. RHS has a lot of good classes like graphic arts and drawing and painting. In Japan, we don 't have expensive things like graphic machines, art charcoals and pastels. I tis really good Iherel, said Kanako. Jacqueline Kenter from Haarlem, Netherlands was hosted by the Charles Conaway family. She was a member of the cross country team, track team andski club. The people here are friendly and nice. I also like the photography and art classes, said Jacqueline. Jacques Widmer from Courren- diem, Switzerland was hosted by the Vwlliam Heim family. He was a member of the varsity soccer team and was also a member of the ice hockey team. I like a lot of students, maybe because I play sports and I also like the options because there are many classes to choose, said Jacques. I I K if ' Q 2 , 7 iff, 1-A i Q ri . .. ,- .... ., ..., Mm.
