ef-JH.. ART MR. HARRY ROBERTSON The strange objects seen behind the doors of our Art Department are created by students in the two art courses now available. In the first year the student is instructed in the basic fundamentals of sketching in pencil, India ink, and charcoal, and working with pastels and water colors. Near the end of this ele- mentary course they work with copper enameling, jewelry and linoleum blocks. In the second year they advance to three-dimensional projects including pot- tery, mobiles, and wire and tooth pick sculptures. Out- side activities are assigned to supplement the class work.
