Collegiate drills, campus models, pink formals reflect Tiger spirit in the Fine Arts Broadening their appreciation of artistic concepts, art classes visited the Leisure Art's Studio, where they viewed a display of Byzantine art and sculpture along with the abstract and impressionistic works of local artists. Proiects such as the construction ot the ideal Tiger- town captured the imagination of students in Mrs. .loseph's art classes. Architectural models were built rep- resenting various campus sites including the gymnasium, annex and cafeteria. In December, Miss Doud's art classes designed Christmas scenes for the main hall win- dows to create a stained glass effect. Under the new direction of Mr. Letson, the Tiger Marching Band adopted college-style drills. Practicing seventh period, the band members were able to rehearse their routines with the drill team. Besides their game and pep rally performances, the Band captured top honors at the Cal Poly Homecoming parade as well as superior rat- ings at the district festival. Donning pink formals and dinner iackets, the T7 voice strong Mixed Ensemble made their '67-'68 debut at the Christmas Choral Concert. Other special appearances were made at the Honor Choir Concert in Morro Bay and the high school variety show, Century's Cabaret, as well as being invited by churches, civic groups and fraternities.

Vocational Arts students visit town merchants Discovering that research makes perfect, Senior homemaking girls examined various samples of materials and color combinations displayed in down town stores. The visits were one facet of a home decorating proiect. The chosen samples were then pasted on cardboard to illustrate a room. Simultaneously, other sewing and foods classes were involved in making Christmas decorations, staging chil- dren's parties, visiting the Cal Poly nursery and sharing the responsibility of decorating the annex bulletin board. Entered in the regional trouble-shooting contest, Auto Shop lll students teamed up to correct the bugs or defects in a selected vehicle. The team which discovered all defects in the least amount of time was then awarded a prize. Upon completion of a 40 hour training course in voluntary work dealing with service station procedures, three boys earned a certificate of graduation from a local service station dealer. The training enabled boys to seek further employment in the field, where they were taught procedures in auto mechanics, customer courtesy and filling out forms. The third year drafting class comprised of i4 boys was given one week to complete a special iob requested by the School Board. The boys submitted preliminary plans for stadium and pool improveiments. s... ...... .,.....
