...Creative Expressions lt's of vital importance that individuals have an opportu- nity to express themselves through the arts of music, literature, drama, or the visual arts of drawing, painting, and the crafts Without this means of ex- pression they cannot develop to the fullest, not only f es- thetically, but also em tion- ally and intellectually. ' Mr. Smith Emphasing the importance of creative expression, the Art Club united into a group of twenty-five individual minds producing a useful result. This result was seen at Christmas in the form of painted decorations on the Windows of the Iroquois Residence Home. The club also took trips to examine art pieces in Watseka's old courthouse and in the Chica- go Museum of Contemporary Art. President Dawn Donaldson believed Art Club has been one of the smallest clubs in the school, but yet its mem- bers have created an impor- tance that no other clubs can achieve: creativity in the small. Another member of the club, Barb Geddes , looked at the club in a broader sense: Art is a Way to see into the mind. While members of the Art Club looked into the mind, members of the Dramatics Club gave an acting inter- pertation of the thoughts of the mind. ln the fall, the Dramatics Club presented Hansel and Gretel to the public in a participation the- ater. The club entered a float, using scenery made for Hansel and Gretel , in the Christmas Parade. Early in January, six repre- sentatives Were sent from the club to the Illinois High School Drama Convention. According to Mrs. Webb, the club sponsor, The State Theater Convention offer our people an unlimited exten- sion of experience that they cannot experience with our limited facilities. S8 Art!
