Ruth Rooney This year the Art Department, under the capable leadership of Miss Rooney, initiated two classes in freehand and anatomical drawing, in addition to courses in fine arts, commercial arts, fashion design, and basic art. As supple- mentary work, many art students con- tributed to the bi-annual Fashion Mag- azine, or worked on the pet project of the department: to create permanent works of art for the school. We thank them for their annual art show and for their fine exhibits in our showcases around the school. Creative self-expression Arts To Please Eye And Ear George A.
