THE ART OF EXPRESSION . . Art. Drama. Production. Creativity is expres- sion. The ability to create takes talent and years ot practice. In SWMHS there are many outlets for creative energies. The flow of a paintbrush on a canvas, the cre- scendo and decrescendo of a classic musical score, and the roaring of applause in a packed theatre, are all the rewards for hours of practice and rehearsal. By participating in art shows, con- cert band, and the school's theatrical productions, those extremely gifted students receive an oppor- tunity to enjoy the feelings of accomplishment and pride from their completed masterpieces. But the circles of creativity also encompass the world of history, academics, and shops. The tension and excitement of creative competition is well- known to all members of the Olympics of the Mind, DECA, and ACT teams. However, even non-com- petitive activities such as ccoking, photography, and industrial arts offer the imaginative mind a doorway to stretch out into the world of reality. Through the art of expression, many students have found a method to state their personality. Creative forces surge in most of us. Just learn to . . . . . let loose!
