Unified Arts Unified Arts, headed by Dr. Robert Randle-man, is tho largest department in the school. This department includes: Art, Home Economics. Industrial Arts, Music Education, and Photo Layout. Music Education is physically separated from the others by having associated offices in the Music Education Building. The other sections of the Unified Arts program are located on the ground floor of U High. Anyone rambling in this vicinity is confronted with distinctive aromas suggesting delicious baked goods from Home Ec., melted wax or paint from the Art room, and resins or sawdust from the Shop. Mr. Ralph Schulz. Miss Ruth Zuelkc. Mr. Jon Sontag. Mrs. Rebecca Walch, Dr. Robert Randlcman. Mr. Stephen Miktich This year the Unified Arts Department added a new photo laboratory. Much of the construction of the lab was done by students in Industrial Arts classes. This photo lab was used in Art classes and by the new Photo layout class which produces the yearbook. All seventh and eighth grade students take Unified Arts. This means that they spend approximately nine weeks in each of the four areas. Because the students get a good general background in Junior High, the courses taught at the Senior High level are more advanced. Mr. Robert Surplus. Mrs. Margaret Chlptnan, Mr. Rudolph Berryman
