Things have improved a great deal however, with the new arts wing at the highschool completed and a new full-time instructor, the stu- dents are getting down to some serious artistic expression. “We have several students applying to post-secondary art schools,” said Fyfe-Wilson. Fyfe-Wilson said the real work for the new arts wing was done by former instructor John Kalmakoff who unfortunately had to take extended sick leave last year. “He put in a lot of ideas for the architectural layout,” Fyfe- Wilson said. The young artists now have a print-making area, ceramics area, kiln room, a dark toom, room with extensive storage for works and a computer graphics room. Unfortunately the computer graphics room has yet to receive the equipment necessary for classes... the computers. “This school district, like many today, is in the frustrating position of having the space approved but not the equip- ment,” he said. The new painting/drawing room is presently being as a foods room but will be home to art students next September. The entire wing, when fully operational and utilized, is designed to accommodate two full-time teaching positions, although the program now has one full-time instructor and a temporary student-teacher from the West Kootenay Teacher drama area, a ig/P 4 Exes (atromen Crystal» Rocks + Jewellery POLLAINE E.

With their growing popu- larity, the band moved into more ambitious pursuits; stage shows were added, more elaborate rou- tines developed, and the music changed to Dixieland, jazz and into the contemporary field. "We definitely concentrate on the humourous side of things,” said band member Phil Grant. “Just about anything goes." Grant, who described the styles of the 30 members of the band as being “rare and unusual", said the group has never had the chance to bring their zany routine to the West Kootenay. “To my knowledge, .we've never performed in that part of the province before.
