THS art teachers, realizing the importance of tree- dom and individual expression in creative works, allow students to find their own techniques. Starting with a variety of media in Art l, students progress into the more difficult areas of three dimensional figures and interior decorating until reaching Art Ill, where the serious art student advances into oil paintings and modern art problems. Students' works exhibited throughout the year on the school walls and in display cases offer artists the opportunity to show their sculp- tures, water colors, and landscapes to a scrutinizing public. Analysis of more well-known works in Art Appreciation teaches an understanding of art through critical viewing of both modern and classical styles. Sophomore girls smile at Mr. E. Brock Griffith's theory instructions. THS band members practice for the April exchange program. E. BROCK GRIFFITH 0 . B.S., Trenton State S k 1. il.

Bach's soaring fugues and the intricate counter- point of his baroque contemporaries carry eager music students back to the days of powdered wigs. Young musicologists meet such prolific Classicists as Mozart and Haydn and rise to lofty heights with the profound emotionalism of Beethoven. Inspired modern com- posers and those of ancient Greece join ranks with the well-known masters to give students a satisfying taste of music's great esthetic beauty. Talented vocalists produce a delicate intertwining of voice in choir and glee club, while gifted musicians vent their bursting creativity in the band or orchestra. Under the direction of Messrs. Griffith and Stochowicz these young performers lend to our hallowed halls a delicate touch of culture. Smiling cheerfully, Mr. Edward Stochowicz jokes with musician Buddy Lang. Mrs. Rita Silvan sorts paintings illustrating various art mediums.
