The young artists met in the Art Room of Freshman Hall once every week, where they dabbed freely in paints or developed their skill in charcoal, pencil, and pen and ink sketches. With the criticisms and suggestions of Father Schmidt, the moderator of the club, the boys improved with each meeting. Bernard Gallagher and joseph Renzi won positions as art directors on the pubf lications staffs of the school because of their ability in design and drawing. Another member, Edward Carr, was a prize winner in the Cultural Olympics sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania last June. His water color, Brick Yards, won a placef ment in a travelling exhibition. The Art Club entered the Cultural Olympics this year, but awards will not be made until june. Exhibits, however, which won acclaim among the students, were held in the school, the first during Open House, and the second in May. The second exhibit was held in the library of Maiii Hall. Some of the work in this exhibit was done by freshmen as a requirement for their entry into the club J. PioN'rKowsKi. THE CRYSTAL 0 1940
