Bond FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY The Fine Arts Department at Western Branch played a vital portlin everyday school life. The band inspired school spirit at pep rallies from the beginning of the year. Playing at foot- ball games and in concerts, the band always put on a good show. Talent was also reflected in the Chorus, whose voices could be heard practicing diligently every morning be- fore school. The musical assemblies and performances kept the singirig Bruins busy. The Art Department kept its stu- dents working twice as hard with ideas pooled by the Art teachers. The halls and showcases of W.B.H.S. were never livelier as when Art students expres- sed themselves with paint, sculptures, or other media. In circumspect, Band, Chorus, and Art students used their talents to capa- city and paved the way for future Western Branch artists. Mr. Dennis Price East Carolina College! 8.5., M.M.
