Apply Basic Skills to Advanced Techniques While the library supplies books, magazines, and other literature for reports, students find that it also provides an ideal place for studying or recreational reading. Art student Linda Fan finishes a still life picture. Students in advanced art develop techniques learned in beginning art. As part of her duties, A-V assistant Jane Carter schedules films. These films are visual aids and add interest to daily assignments.

Art and Music Students Using a hand loom, Susan Craves and Dave Brown weave a project in Crafts I class. The crafts class, new this year, teaches students to develop practical art skills. With their mouths open and their eyes on Mr. Dunn, Diana Skillern, Barbara White, and Linda Thum practice a song in Warrenaires during a third-period rehearsal. The art department, staffed by Miss Julia Fau- cett, department head, Miss Gayle Allison, and Mr. Hans Heiser, offers five classes to interested students. Beginning art, advanced art, commercial art, cera- mics, and crafts give students a chance to develop their skills and knowledge of art. The library’s approximately 9,000 books can be used for reports or recreational reading. An average of 281 students visit the library daily to study or browse. A survey made last year showed that approx- imately 44,926 students and teachers used the library facilities during some 160 days. Music classes include vocal and instrumental instruction. Students learn to read music for their own enjoyment and for participation in the perform- ing groups. The audio-visual department, supervised by Mr. Perle Fisher, provides audio-visual aids for all township schools. The newest equipment is an Am- pex tape recorder, used mainly by the music de- partment. The most-used pieces of equipment are nine projectors with the $70,000 film library.
