GEORGE SCHOOL

Elizabeth Powell, George School Art Instructor,
wrote the following letter.
"I knew Mike McVaugh as a student at George
School, a co-ed "Quaker" boarding school, where I
taught him ceramics, and drawing and painting. All
students are required to take a course in the arts each
year; but Mike had the interest and drive to go beyond
the requirements.  He constantly drew in his dormitory
and around campus concentrating on portraiture. This
was also the focus of his senior project.
  The project is a two weeks focus on work done
outside of school which the senior undertaking it is
responsible for planning and justifying before a review
committee. Mike was one of the few judged mature
and motivated enough to undertake a completely
independent creative project, most students work
under a supervisor in some structured area such as a
hospital or law office. Mike amply repaid our
confidence and earned an "A" for the project.
  I recommend Mike for his ability, and his success."
