COUNTERCLOCKWISEA ART DEPARTMENT: Miss lanet Keller, department chairmang Mrs. Loreen DeWaard, Mr. F. M. How- ard. MUSIC DEPARTMENT: Mr. Frank S. Watkins, department chairman: Mr. Iohn W. Shepard, Mr. Robert Burford. THE FINE ARTS The Art Department stresses leisure time objectives as well as the professional approach to art. Students taking Commercial Art learn the fundamentals of lettering, posters, layout, and color. Creative work is stressed in Fashion Art by drawing original designs for clothing. Advanced art classes elaborate on perspec- tive, modern designs, and sculpture. Classes in crafts work on rings, bracelets, waste-baskets, letter openers, etc. New classes in lettering and plastics have been added to the department this year. The combined organizations of the Music Department desire to enrich the life of every student enrolled in its courses. At Open House last November, under a guest conductor, Mr. David Hughes, of the Iordan College of Music, the Howe Band, orchestra, and vocal groups performed. This year, for the first time, each unit of the Music Department gave a concert of its own with soloists from its own group, in addition to the biennial operetta given by the choir. The orchestra's concert held in December received very favor- able comments from Mr. Henry Butler, music critic for the Indianap- olis Times. An Evening of Music was given by the band in March, and several band members were the soloists. The Music Festival, in May, was the concert of the vocal section. 23

Throughout their tour years in high school, Howe students form many lasting friendships. From their freshman year through their senior year they grow in wisdom and stature until they are ready to go out on their own.
