Art This year, Schreiber's art teachers tried to open the department to the individual. Using both un- scheduled mods and scheduled class time, they helped interested students to develop their talents. Students were invited to take advantage of the open atmosphere both in class and out of class, where they had the opportunity for individualized study and open labs. Many popular and diverse courses, such as a study of Chinese culture and an advertis- ing art course were offered. 28 Phil Darling: We are concerned with seeing with the inner eye ... Sophia Ma: Let's reexamine the goal of education! We, at the art department have done so and have rededicated ourselves to the role of educators! Warren Murley: The life so short, the craft so long we learn. - Hippocrates Shellie Schneider

Bob Albert: To offer a prize for doing a deed is tantamount to declaring that the deed is not worth doing for its own sake ... to get the better of the other man is a damnable objective. — A. S. Neill Don Jones: Our revels now are ended. These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and are melted into air, thin air ... — William Shakespeare Judy Piels: The road to wisdom? Well, it's plain and easy to express. Err and err again, but less and less and less. - Piet Hein Eileen Cimperman: All the best is yet to be. 27

Richard Rusack: If music be the food of love — why is it such a thorn in the side of administrators and guidance counselors?! ferry Stone (Chairman) Bill Fish: Success breeds success. Performing Arts The Schreiber Department of the Performing Arts en- joyed a successful year as they presented plays and concerts to people both inside and outside the Schreiber community. This year's fall musical was an all new, multi- media-aided production of the The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The department's dramatic season continued with Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth. The final presentation of the year was The Crucible by Arthur Miller. Many students had a chance to display their acting ability during the 1974-75 school year in these productions. The band, orchestra, concert and varsity choirs, which round out the Department of the Performing Arts, played many concerts this past year. Besides each group's annual concert and winter concert, the band journeyed to Alex- andria, Virginia, for a weekend engagement with a local high school. The band also played at Madison Square Garden during college basketball game half-time shows. The varsity choir and orchestra traveled to Wales and London where they toured and gave concerts. The choir also sang in New York City during the winter holiday season. 29
