Many of them have had only one semester of art, but can they design, combine color, and draw? Visit room 232 on any day or note the exhibits which have been hanging on the north walls the past few weeks for proof that they ran. All odd jobs, fine lettering or cartooning needed at Abraham Lincoln High school are done by these cheerful art cherubs. £ 17 1
