Creative Classes In eighth grade, students spend twenty weeks ex- ploring areas of art, including investigation into career possibilities such as designers, architects, illustrators, and interior decorators. Basic art principles have been incorporated into fun projects like Halloween monsters, silkscreening, and use of found objects. Three dimensional projects vied with painting for making the art room a mess, but clay was tops for needing constant cleaning. Student work was entered into Regional Scholastic Art Competition, and many posters were entered in the Poster Contest. Time in art class turned out clothes covered with paint fingers covered with glue, and the satisfaction of having made something all by yourself. To learn basic competencies in food preparation and in personal living and development was the main pur- pose of the Jr. High Home Economics classes. Equipment such as the video tape machines were used to carry this out. Although only girls have been required to take this course, next year all 7th grade students will be taking Home Ec. The courses offered will concentrate on one specific area rather than the previous general curriculum. Ceramics, tic-tac-toe boards, and metal bowls are examples of fine work the members of the Jr. High Shop have done. The students have become very accomplished with the help of their teachers, Mr. Morris and Mr. Graves. Although there is sometimes chaos in the classes, students put forth much effort to earn a high grade on their projects. More important than the grade is the satisfaction each student feels as he makes something with his own hands 24
