    Favorite Ferris Memory

    • One year for the Festival of the Arts we made close to life size paper-mache elephants. My student artists made a disco elephant with an afro, mirrors and bell bottoms. The idea made me groan but when it was done it stood out in the herd of 15 and was the most talked about. I learned to trust my students.
