The very connotation of the
word, “Historical Mural”
sounds a bit uninteresting, but
according to many it is one of
the best ideas that has lit up a
portion of Senior High in awhile.
The permanent art mural took
two months to complete. It is
located in Mrs. Minges’ art
room and was presented as a
gift from the Advanced Art 11
students to Rocky Mount Senior,
High. It is the “History of art
from past to present” and is an
oil and acrylic painting. The
artists of the mural are Tina
Joyner, Mary Pennington, Pam
Gentry, Mitzi Hagerty, Terri
Berry, Martha Braswell, Gina
Diehl, and Edward Pickett.
Research was done on the
different periods of history
followed by a representative
sketch of each era. Each student
was asked to draw a rough draft
on a piece of paper of what the
entire mural was to represent.
Tina Joyner’s outline of the total
project won.
Terri Berry says that "the
mural has developed my
technique of painting.”
In the meantime. Art I classes
under Mr. Murray and Mrs.
Minges have been working on
projects of their own.
Mr. Murray’s classes have
been working on designs
stamped from carved linoleum.
Mrs. Minges’ classes have been
making three-dimensional fig
ures from a plaster cube.
The linoleum prints involved
carving out a design of the
student’s choice from a square
of linoleum. Some designs
included houses, dogs and
horses. When the carving was
completed, the stamp was
dipped in ink and then
“stamped” onto a sheet of
paper. Upon completion of the
project, which lasted about two
weeks, the class set up a display
in the window next to Mrs.
Stories’ room. Mr. Murray
invited everyone to go by and
view the work.
Mrs. Minges’ “3-D” carving
project began as a sketch which
the students made of an idea.
The idea was based on a
movement or a caricature. All
the carving came from a square
object, either plaster or wood.

FOR SATISFYING MULS
Possibly the best performance-
per-dollar receiver ever made —
Technics SA-5160.
25 watts per channel, minimum RMS into 8 ohms, from 30Hz-20kHz, with no more than
0.5% total harmonic distortion. See if you can find that much power in any receiver for
under $230.00. And if you can, see if it also has all this:
*Phono S/N ratio 75dB
*FM IHF sensitivity 1.9 uV 50dB quieting sensitivity MONO 13.7dBf, STEREO
37.2dBf.
♦Selectivity 70 dB.
*Phase Locked Loop for FM stereo separation of 42dB at IkHz, 35dB at lOkHz.
♦“FlaleGroup Delay” filters to minimize phase distortion in FM.
^ape monitor, loudness and speaker selector (A, B, A plus B) switches.
*Lmear signal strength meter for more accurate readout of signal strength than with
conventional meters, making “fine tuning” easier,
