ELINOR JANE YOUNG VIRGINIA PASTERNAK ART DEPARTMENT STRESSES DIVERSITY The purpose of an art course is to teach students to seen the things around them and to learn to express themselves in the language of art. The Art courses at S.P.F.H.S. endeavor to teach stu- dents the basic principles of art, form, perspective, color, and composition. As the student progresses to Art II, he learns to use these basic principles in drawing and this year, one class of third year art students has begun Working in oil and acrylic painting. The craft classes have worked in ceramics, wire and enamel, sculpture, glass, papier mache and mosaics. Advanced classes Work on a specializa- tion of any of these crafts, with an emphasis on design.

ROBERT BROWN MUSIC DEPARTMENT EXPANDS Our marching band is the most notable aspect of the Music Department at S.P.F.H.S., but it is far from the only activity for musical development. Many students participate in the Orchestra and the various choruses. The department's aim has been to provide the students with a means of expression. This has been achieved through instrumental instruction and courses in Music Appreciation and Music Theory. King Horn is all wrapped up in his work.

'Qi I fl E r TRESSA PERRY LOIS KENYON HOME ECONOMICS COMBINES CREATIVITY WITH PRACTICALITY There is at least one day in the life of every girl when her domestic talents must be put to use. The Foods Department enables her to learn to cook interesting and well-bal- anced meals, while teaching her to spend money wisely. In Family Living, she learns how to manage all aspects of a householdg from finances to child care. The Clothing Department gives girls the opportunity to be- come adept in the field of sewing. They learn to enjoy sewing as a hobby, or possible vocation, and save money at the same time. A cooking class for boys, now in its sec- ond successful year, has proven that the male is as capable as the female in the kitchen. The guys will really flip for this one! Cliff Hund.
