Art Staff to teach calligraphy at Hollyrood High school seniors in a fourth grade class? Members of the art staff have been spending Tuesday afternoons from 2:30 to 3 teaching 17 third and fourth graders calligraphy at Hollyrood school. Each member of the .art staff will have the opportunity to teach the fourth graders. “This experience will be good for anyone on the art staff thinking of a teaching career,” stated Mahlon Reed, art staff adviser. The 1965-66 art staff started this program last year as a part of the co-operative program be tween the grade schools and the high schools. “Calligraphy is simply italic handwriting,” stated senior Nancy Kerron. “We’ll start them on pencils and work up to the pens. It will be just like a regular art class.” Teaching the class is left entirely up to the art staff as the fourth grade teacher has had no pre vious training in calligraphy. “The children love art work and they seem pretty enthusiastic about learning calligraphy,” stated senior Georgina Smith. “It was really fun. I enjoyed teaching the kids and I’m looking forward to going back. Some of the kids are definitely more artistic than others. It’s really interesting,” said senior Sarah Fry burger.
