prepare for future careers and homes Glass-covered bulletin boards on the main floor always hold several outstanding pictures done by gifted art students; and on the lower floor, a show case displays work from the hands of jewelry and sculpture students. Winning entries of national scholastic competitions are an annual display in that case. Craft aits serve as an introduction to the Art Depaitment courses after which interested Howe- ites elect a course dealing with a specific branch of art study. Students who like to develop an object from raw material with their hands may elect classes in jewelry, plastics, or sculpturing. Others work in crayon, paints, or ink on paper or canvas, and students who have interests in even more specific art fields may enroll in fashion drawing or lettering. Musically minded freshman students may elect boys or girls glee clubs. From these groups, the directors select members of performing music organizations. The Boys Glee Club was host to glee clubs of other city high schools for a combined program. Howe ' s two-band system gives members an opportunity to gain practical e.xperience in the B-Band before they are recommended to posi- tions in the performing A-Band. Katha Patterson and Diane Carrington demonstrate for glee club an exercise to develop breath control. Finishing her ring with a set of natural stones, jewelry student Lynn Silvey files off the remaining rough edges. Scholastic Arts Award winner, Carolyn Utigard, touches up water-color paint on her blue-ribbon fashion drawing.
