Once upon a time in the wonderful world of SJND, artists and orators abounded ... or so the story goes. With great thanks to the Department of Education, students beginning with the Class of 1989 are required to complete courses in the fine arts. For the Pilots, this means speech and art classes. Instructing the Sophomores in the art of effective speech was veteran teacher Ms. Georgia Vlahos, and she made the class fun and informative. “Speech has got to be the best class I've ever had!” commented Antonio Galindo. And Greg Fanucchi added, “T learned about more than just effective speech; I learned about the views of more people.” A semester of art was also a requirement for the Sophs. This class, also offered as an elective to Juniors and Seniors, was taught by Ms. Kate Reynolds. The Pilots learned everything from finger painting to sculpting. “Art class was really great because | could express myself through my work,” explained Soph Monica Murchison. The new requirement was well received this year. Students enjoyed themselves while being exposed to two major areas of the arts. Who knows? SJND may just be the training ground for famous artists and speechmakers of the future!

Despite all the action on campus, the faculty, administrators and even most students never let anyone forget why we were here. SJND emphasized the importance of a solid education; and the stu- dents, from budding sci- entists to computer whizzes, took advantage of it. Unforgettable Effort Academics Division Sil
