Pow Wow placards of the different concessions are made here also. -Ml the hand worked advertising in the halls and library is done by our art de- partment. Cartoons and layouts for jiictures in the News are worked up by these people and all the drawings and sketches for The Tamarack originate in the rooms occujiied by the art .students. The art (lei)artnient proper is divided into two sections; special and fine arts, and applied design. This last heading includes jewelry, which is ))erhaps the best known class of the course because of the practical examples of work displayed by n)enil)ers of the class. - study of art such as is offered in North Central not only gives practical knowledge and technique but also gives an apjireciation of beauty in the school and home. Jacky to gym class: What would you like to do for exercise today? Tubby Irwin: I would like to skip class. Bertha (ieorge: My isn ' t the floor slick? Hill .Shaw: Naw, I ' ve just got a good shine. 151]

THE TAMARACK One of tlie oldest enterjmses in school and one of the most beneficial to North Central is the orchestra. Too much credit can not be priven to it for its part in all musical activities. This semester there were fifty -one in the class, the largest orchestra in the history of the school. Under the direction of V. Olin Rice, the members of the organization i)ractice once a week, for which they receive one-fourth credit at the end of the .semester. As usual the orchestra played l)etween acts of the class play and accompanied the oper- etta. This last service was one of its most out- standing of the semester. A .special convoca- tion for the purpose of l)ringing the students in do.ser contact with classical music was given l)y the orchestra on Wednesday and Thursday, N ' ovember 1( and 17, during the first period.
