Qainfing V Each Monday a large group of enthusiastic young artists meets with Miss Palmer to express themselves freely with brush and pencil. This year the members have made pencil drawings, water color pictures, fashion sketchings, cartoons in ink, murals and portrait painting in oils. The work is of special interest because each composi- tion is entirely original in idea and is executed without assistance. The Club has no officers and holds no business meetings but directs its attention entirely to the various advanced methods of painting and sketching. I gypuzg A splendid opportunity is offered to those students unable to ioin regular classes to learn how to typewrite by joining this club. Students of grades nine to twelve receive an adequate knowledge of typing which stands them in good stead in other studies and in later life. They develop keyboard manipulation, letter writing, tabulation, envelope addressing, manuscript writing, book reports, menu typing and other work of a personal nature. The typing club, composed of eighteen members, has no officers as parliamentary meetings are deemed unnecessary. .4.nx.,..sarfef1 - N N N 3 1 Page 34

At other assemblies it has accompanied singing by the audience as the words of the songs appeared on the screen. It contributed much to the annual Spring Music Festival on May second, and will play at the commence- ment exercises on Iune twenty-fourth. The group is particularly well-balanced as to its instrumentation. The players deserve much credit for their faithfulness in rehearsing with Mr. Olsen before the start of the daily school session several Bam! For the fifth year, the band numbering forty-two members, has added color and zest to our football games and pep assemblies. Directed by Mr. Olsen, the band has performed creditably at assemblies and on several special occasions. It assisted at the mem- orable Armstice Day program held in the auditorium on the evening of November ninth, and played an important part at the annual Music Festival of May second. Also, as has been its custom for the past few years, Bellows' Band presented a concert jointly with Mamaroneck High School on Daniel Warren Field early in Iune. The snappy effect of the band was heightened considerably by the appearance of two sprightly little drum-majors: namely, Velma Dellner and Marilyn Steffes. mornings a week.

The students chosen to work in the library must have a satisfactory scholastic average at the time of their appointment and maintain this throughout the remaining years of high school. Each member has two periods a week except seniors who have only one in which to con- tribute their help. Among the many tasks are: writing of notices for over-due books, desk duty, stamping, pasting, shellacking of new books, and the care of the shelves. Since the students ot the Barry Avenue School are too young to care for their own library books, the Bellows squad members took over this responsibility. Besides assisting Miss Snow in her work, the students acquire experience which may prove valuable in the future. elif 5401621 Howard Barker, Shirley Carpenter, Michael Lorys, Arthur Frampton, Wilbur Garvin, Virginia Guthrie, Peggy I-lessler, Michael Forte, Vincenza Nicolais, and Ann Tunno, all members of the Senior Class, were presented Merit Award Sweaters at the annual Merit Award Assembly on February 15.

No more than tive points were accepted in any one field.
