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.
