Mrs. Bradford assisted Lawag Fonacier Jr. and Mark Wilson while they mastered their art work. Shenandoah was very fortunate to have a well-equipped art facility. Students had opportunities to develop their talents by experimenting with pastels, water colors, charcoal sketching, the potter's wheel and even op art.
