Music Theory Course lnducted Into SHS Curriculum ln the art department this year, SHS was once again fortunate to have the talents of Mrs. Cynthia Sequino. ln an informal class atmosphere, she gave students an opportunity to express themselves through sculpture, painting, and collages. The class also donated time and talent to make posters and signs publicizing school events. Music theory replaced last yearis music appreciation course with Mr. Ken Rudd, band director, as instructor. Through this study students became acquainted with the basics and mechanics of performing music. Students drilled in timing and precision in order to emerge from the course as more accomplished musicians. Noticing a white spot on the canvas, Mrs. Sequino suggests to Pam Keever that more paint be applied. im ,fi .W A Concentrating on the completion of her card- board-string design, Rachel Grubb puts the finishing touches on her project.
