Pupils from Class "Z" at Northside Elementary School look over the gaily-colored mural which they and their classmates constructed last week. The ungraded class, composed of seven and eight-year olds, was given the assignment to depict their own houses and front yards on paper. Houses and trees were fashioned from cut paper, while the children used crayon and chalk to finish the pictures. Mrs. Barbara Heers, classroom teacher, and Mrs. Margo Engelmann, art instructor, said the assignment was part of the class' social studies unit teaching the children about maps, their own neighborhoods, and the city of Ann Arbor. "The children worked very well together," said Mrs. Heers, "and they are anxious for future projects." The artists are, left to right, Debbie Frey, Barbara Peters, Jay Gause and Jon Daley.

Wooden figures representing the "Westward Movement" in American History are displayed by four Lawton School fifth-graders and their art teacher, Elaine Kolasa (standing center). As part of an applied arts project, the children made the figures' heads, painted them, and attached them to wooden "bodies." The figures portray the students' concept of the sturdy, rugged men of America's pioneering days. The students are (from left) Marilynn Seaton, John Watt, Tim Malefyt and Sarah Crawford.
