The art department courses are a true exception to this case. The individuality and uniqueness of T.D. students surfaces in the art rooms and takes shape in the forms of paintings, drawings and sculpture. The halls are alive with the sound of music! Indeed, chorus classes at T.D. have increased to enormous proportions. Students definitely enjoy singing and music evidenced by the chorus of songs and tunes often heard in T.D. halls. Music Department leaders hope that the student will discover the joys of music and continue to enjoy music as a permanent means of entertainment in his life. Aside from classroom vocalizing, the choral department also provides the music for T.D. dramatical productions. Long hours of voice breaking practice by choral students and teachers provide the lovely outcome of harmonious notes which have enhanced so many productions. Sixty-five members form the largest band in T.D.’s history and the anticipation of more competition and a larger band next year has created considerable excitement among band members and directors. Off the field, band students bring their music to school events such as pep rallies, assemblies and dramatical productions. spIppy HV i SIOWCWIUBW DJISNW The classroom cannot contain all of this expression and it often overflows into the showcases, drama sets and special school activities like the arts festival. In a sense, the art department gives the student a chance to exploae, and the result of these explosions are truly beautiful and appreciated by all of those at T.D. Academics 27
