Sculpturing
The Art II class is sculpturing
human heads with Mexican pottery
clay. Variations such as a Negro
woman, Mr. McGoo, and other
men and women are being sculp
tured by the ten students.
In the art showcase, there are
weird-lcoking structures being done
by the .Art I classes. They are
started as blown-up balloons with
s'arched string wrapped around
them. When the starched string
has dried, the balloon is deflated and
there is a very unusual finished pro
duct that can be used as a mobile
party decoration, or just an unusual
ornament.

JAN PARHAM
Seniors Choose
Coach’s Daughter
>
Jan Parham, daughter of Coach
and Mrs. John Parham, is the mas
cot for the Senibr Class of 1965.
The vivacious five-year old is full
of spontaneous comments and ob
servations. Her tastes in foods vary
from jell-0 (which she eats by the
panfull) to steak. And when she
grows up, she wants to be a mother.
(With all the doll babies kept under
her watchful eye, she’ll be as won
derful as Mother Janet).
Flirting with big blue eyes is
quite enticing to the men in Jan’s
life. These “men” include Daddy
and Frank (ten-year-old beau). It’s
suspected that older brother, John,
succumbs to the light in those eyes
as well.
.At the present time, I’ve got a
loose tooth” is Jan’s favorite an
nouncement. This is the first loose
one. Other vacant spaces will occur
in the next few years, giving way
to another beauty asset.
Jan’s many “likes’’ include danc
ing (the “Twist”), the Beatles, foot
ball, reading, and riding her bicycle
(no training wheels!). Yogi Bear
takes preference with television
characters, although Jan gets up on
Saturday mornings at 7:00 a. m.
to watch “Sunrise Theatre” with
brother John.
