Special Education Art, And Music The art classes had one field trip during the first se- mester. The art classes were under the direction of a new teacher, Ms. Severance. The classes made dif- ferent projects during the year such as linoleum cuts, textures, designs, color painting, deco polish, and different pictures. In the music department the band students sold candles to buy a new amplifier. The special education class of 1975 was a small one. This was Miss Fowler's first year of teaching and she seemed to have fully enjoyed it. The class made scenes of the seasons and holidays for the bulletin boards. They also spent time making cards for Christ- mas. The class worked and studied throughout the year with plenty of fun mixed in. Miss Suzanne Fowler is the special education teacher.
