Country Store Brings in the Bucks J QM fgfg it I n the never-ending struggle to make money, the Art Department came up with a clever and feasable project, the Country Store. The main reason for the stores ex- istence was, of course, to make money. But in doing so also gave Art students a chance to show off their talents. I think this will make students ap- preciate the art of our Artists, said Art advisor Pat Baskin, And that is good. 1 The small downstairs room was stocked full of artwork such as paint- ings, sketches, Southside R e , mugs, license plates, and stationa . The prices ranged from 50 cents 50 dollars, but money didn't exactly ,525 I Lim? pour in. I didn't expect to make much money off of this, but it brought in enough money for us to keep having it, explained Miss Baskin. Most felt that as long as the Art students can turn out work, there would always be items to sell, making the continuing project more pro- fitable in the years to come. 7F11-TT' I 91

yt. . Q . Drive for Dollars Art Club Participation Captures Financial Gain M aking money is, of course, an ob- ject for all clubs, but the Art Club combines this drive for dollars with a chance for art students to show off their work. But first off is financial security, and the Art Club used some of the oldest tricks in the book to make money. They sold candy on the holidays and entered their club in various school contests. The Christmas Sing, for example, was entered to try to make bucks. But that wasn't where it ended for this club. They opened a Country Store which sold pottery, statues, pain- tings, and inkings and which also gave the artists alittle publicity. Of course, our main goal is money making, said adviser Pat Baskin, but we're also interested in getting a group of people together who are all intersted in the same thing. President Conery Sanders and Secretary Sam Meinke kept the group of 25 members going through this year, attending several art con- tests onthe side. CONERY SANDERS, Senior Hike being an Art C I u b m e m b e r because of the op- portunities to get to see different kinds of art. Junior Danny Lane occupies himself by spending a few minutes in the Country Store. TE My Opinion SP LISA CHAFFIN, Junior I like the Art Club because I enjoy drawing different kinds of artistic work. And I also enjoy growing more as an artist. LIZ BERRY, Sophomore I like the Art Club because it's fun and easy. I like be- ing able to com- pete in all the ac- tivities that I'm in.
