Art Department Devellopes Stttdle1nt's Talents The world of color and beauty is opened to the ambitious student through the means of the Sylvan art staff. They are taught the art of working with oils, water colors, and charcoal to accomplish amazing feats. There are various projects offered to appeal to all art students. There are many fields in painting in which they engage, such as landscape, live model, and straight imaginative painting. There is still another field of art in which Sylvan students indulge. This is called abstract art In this phase of art, the student usually is allowed to project his own personality into his work. You see examples of their work up and down the halls ofthe school. It's dis- played on bulletin boards, posters, and at many school functions that are in need of art creations. There is also one big showing of the art classes work at a P. T. A. meeting.

P91- 's , T, tl 1... Nw ' A' 1 , Counselors Arid Students The high school student encounters many problems, both academic and personal, during his five years at Sylvan. Our counselors are kept quite busy helping the students to find solutions for their problems. When the eighth grader enters Sylvan, he is faced with the problem of adjustment. This is when the coun- selors urge him from the beginning to work hard to make good grades, and to really learn something. When the student becomes a senior, he encounters numerous problems such as having the correct credits needed to graduate, getting ajob, gaining college admis- sion, obtaining scholarships, and many others important to his future. The counselors help him patiently through this busy year. In all matters, the counselors strive, not to solve the student's problem for him, but to help him find the solu- tion for himself.
