THE FINE ARTS Art and drama are natural expressions of our life. All that is uplifting and inspiring, all that is saddening- this is part of us, and able to be set down in art forms or portrayed in drama. There are the girls who put the beauty around them into tangible forms. By molding a little clay, or carefully placing a piece of glass in a pattern, or blending one color with another, they reflect what is pleasing or even disagreeable to them. Moods and dreams are recorded in lasting and enduring expressions. The subject material is always present, it need only be interpreted. The rewards of interpreting are given to the girls in art classes, Fine Arts and studio classes. Drama is also an art expressiong its thrill lies in the creation of a new personality. By so doing, something is realized of the success and disappointment, the happiness and tragedy which is Woven into every life. The actor is rewarded twice, he takes unto himself something of the character which he has created-he gives to his character part of his own personality and feelings, Those who realize these rewards are banded together in the group called National Thespians. Drama is for them a monumental form.-elastic, yet well-defined . . . chang- ing, yet enduring. ART STUDIO A studio art class paints parchment manuscripts in imitation of Gothic art.
