WIRE AND SCREEN combine in this armature by Danny Britten to create an air of majesty. ACCENTUATING THE PRIDE of man, Vonna Brode's Roman bust became a class favorite. STRIKING ART EXPosEs Combining the elements and principles of art pro- duced a great variety of outstanding art works and provided an opportunity for individual expression as well as general skills. By studying the nine basic areas of art - water color, oil painting, sculpture, commercial art, art his- tory, drawing, design, printmaking fwoodblocks and etchingl, and ceramics, students were allowed the freedom to show their abilities in these fields. In order to give his students study opportunities and greater variety, Mr. Jack Frost has started to compile an art library in the art room itself. This li- brary contains books on almost all art forms as well as books on art appreciation. Portraits of outstanding students in various fields will be done by Mr. Frost and accumulated in a gal- lery to stimulate proper recognition in these areas.
