The addition of a third fulltime teacher and a new art room has allowed the art de- partment to expand so that all interested stu- dents may now take an art course. As well as growing in size, the department has also grown in new concepts. Four different techniques are used in making rugs, one of which is an invention of Waltrip students. A new medium being tried is instant papier mache. Susan Gardner watches as Rhonda Edwards works on her wall hanging.
