ART 1980-81 was another banner year for the Art Department. Under the direction of Department Head Thomas Delsignore and dedicated teachers Judith DesPres and Michael Milan, students in grades 9-12 were able to explore different styles, techniques and mediums in the visual arts. The Class of 1981 showed considerable talent in terms of Art. Their contributions included the scenery and set for both the Senior Class Play and the musical, along with the murals painted for the Senior Banquet, and the art work appearing in this year ' s Green Years and No Parentheses. The juniors and the sophomores also produced some meaningful art this year. Their works, ranging from collages to oil paintings, were exhibited in the library throughout the year. Mr. Thomas DelSignore Art Chairman Mrs. Judith DesPres Mr. John Markarian Music Director MUSIC The two members of the Music Department staff, Mr. John Markarian (director) and Mr. Alfred Mannino, are responsible for Westwoods exceptional music program.
