MISS LILLIAN GRIFFIN. Art, Laboratory Schools Miss Griffin insisted that work was her hobby, but we discovered several other interests . . . water color painting during vacations . . . color photography . , . the theatre . . . general reading on art, biography, autobiography, nature, history . . . summer travel (need we suggest stay-at-home activities will have priorities this summer?) ... As for her work in the training school, she is very kind and encouraging to all youngsters in their art classes. She has a keen sense of humor which is illustrated when an occasion for a story presents itself. MRS. GLADYS HENRY ARNOLD, Music, Laboratory School Art appreciations generally are Mrs. Arnold's hobbies. She has made picture study much more interesting and different by having a special frame so constructed that it can fit any size picture. Several hand manipulations and various sized mats . . . and Mrs. Arnold goes on studying pictures of the masters. A member of the Book-of-the-Month Club, she enjoys reading. Her collections of fine recordings are much more valuable now that transportation to concerts is difficult. Another hobby discontinued for the duration is that of theatre-going in Pittsburgh. MISS ROBERTA LOHN, Music, Laboratory Schools Miss Lehn's work and play is music. Because her parents enjoyed music but lacked the opportunities for a musical education, much emphasis was placed on her music. At the age of six she played the piano; and when she was a big girl of seven, she took violin lessons. Clarinet was a major interest in high school. Now her musical activities include playing in the Meadville Symphony and string quartet, singing in groups and directing college and high school music organizations. She also enjoys ice-skating.
