Elaine (Shields) Adams finishes an extensive window display for the holidays at COSI. Although polar bears remind one of Arctic cold, the ONU mascot polar bear (named Klondike) sends "Warm Wishes" in this artwork of 'bears and trees. Elaine won several district art awards while a student at Ada High School in the mid 1980s. She hasn't done a lot of art since, she said. But the extensive display at COSI proves she hasn't lost her touch. She is now manager of Flavours, the Sodexo catering service at ONU. (Monty Siekerman photo)
