Arts pave the way Contests prepare far futures Striving for excellence, the fine arts worked to compete at state level. Dedication also helped to make up the TR Singers, Jazz Band, Contest Play members, and outstanding art stu- dents. The annual spring Northern Indiana art competition awarded cash prizes and ribbons. Drawing and Painting ll and Art Studio students were required to enter at least one of their designs. The contests such as Northern indiana provided me with professional opinions and different aspects on what was good and not-so-good in my work, said Dawn Kinishi, senior.

Yolanda Douglas was recognized for an out- standing solo on the drums. TR Singers, considered the elite cho- ral, had a March ensemble at Lincoln- Way l-ligh School where 50 attended.
