ART CLUB The Art Club. in its first year of service to the school. gathered an enthusiastic' group of artistically in- clined boys. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Richard Lunetta. who joined the Academy faculty last fall as 21 language instructor. a number of prospective painters. modelers. and sculptors were given the oppor- tunity to develop their talents and to discover previously hidden artistic' abilities, Unlike the other clubs. the Art Club had no officers and held no formally scheduled meetings. Its members met in the art workshop, a convenient room in lfuller Hall basement. where boys gathered in- formally and worked at their own pace under Mr. l.unetta's supervision. The workshop also housed the art materials and supplies of the group. During the year various items were added to the Clubis assort- ment of art equipment. XY'ith the workshop expanding. the future of the Art Club looks bright indeed. Undoubtedly its cul- tural impact will be felt in the life of the school. Participation in the program helps the members use their free time constructively as well as to observe representative phases of artistic endeavor. Perhaps the Club's greatest contributions are its encouragement of self-expression in boys and its development of their ap- preciation of art forms. b9
