Rel 7 Daan levee SIRE C VALLI Y © DiESHIINIG Uilisiaie AMONG THE FACULTY and students, this year, a great many have distinguished themselves in the art field outside of school. There are so many that we can do no more than mention them here and probably this list is incomplete. They are, however, certainly deserving of high praise. In October a show of younger R. I. artists was sponsored by John Fontaine, Richard Gabel and Albert Blythe, the two former being graduates of R. I. S$. D. Some older artists in the show by invitation included several faculty members, John R. Frazier, Stephen Macomber, Gerald Mast, Blanchard Brown, Milo Winter and Frederick Sisson. The beginning of the new year saw a show at the Art Club in which William C. Loring and both Mr. and Mrs. John R. Frazier participated. During January and February the Art Club had an exhibition of sculpture in which John Howard Benson, head of our sculpture department, Waldemar Rae- misch, a faculty member, Gilbert Franklin and Robert Win- throp, two advanced students, all took part. On February 17th the Art Club opened another exhibition in which Philip D. Creer, head of our architectural department, was one of the exhibitors. In March, the Providence Water Color Club showed the work of four faculty members: Edna Lawrence, Gladys Wilkins, Dorothy Holt, and Anna Carmody. The Art Club did not, however, have a monopoly on the work of our faculty and students. Milo K. Winter had an excellent one man show in the Faunce House Gallery. The Biltmore sponsored a mural contest in which Stella Bradford, a senior at R.I.S. D., carried off the top honors, while Michael Knott and Rhoades Wright received second and third prizes respectively. As the year comes to an end and we look back at such an impressive record, we feel that, in honors as well as in work, the winter has been a full one. ADR 28

Ralf aw le7e4 2 DORMITORY STUDENT COUNCIL THE Dormitory STUDENT COUNCIL is an organization main- tained by astudent-elected group in the interest of the dormi- tory residents. Its purpose is to create co-operation and a friendly feeling among the students, to make and enforce laws of the constitution, and to promote the social activities which take place within the dormitories. Representatives are elected in each house by the students of the individual houses and all seniors are automatically members. This group con- stitutes the dormitory council and they in turn elect from the group an executive committee of five. Within this executive committee the officers are elected. This year’s officers are Elinor M. Wightman, President; Esther K. Dudley, Vice- President; Marie T. Pero, Secretary; Jeanette A. Girard, Treasurer. E. W. THE JUNIOR DIVISION OF THE EASTERN ARTS ASSOCIATION THE JUNIoR EAsTERN Arts chapter at the Rhode Island School of Design is composed mainly of members of the Art Education Department although students of all other depart- ments in the school are invited to join. Bi-monthly meetings are held. One of these is a business meeting followed by a lecture or demonstration on some subject interesting to art students. The second monthly meeting is devoted to social activities. An annual fee of one dollar covers the Association dues and various expenses of the social meetings. This year’s officers are as follows: President, Jean Hoxie; Vice-President, Esther Dudley; Recording Secretary, Rosaline Braga; Corresponding Secretary, Mary Gallopin; Treasurer, Irene Larson; Delegate, Virginia M. Spargo. Each year, usually in New York, the Eastern Arts Associa- tion which includes the Junior Division holds a convention attended by representatives of many Eastern schools of art and colleges. In the past three years the Rhode Island School of Design has been represented. ee 29
