A real incentive for work was instilled in- to the students 'the very first day, when the number of awards taken at the Logan County fair of I936 was announced as including five firsts, seven seconds, and four third prizes. To build a foundation of the correct ideas of art, the initial work of the year included a study of the fundamental principles of design, color and composition. Attractive original borders, panels and all-over designs resulted from the application of such principles. Before many weeks had passed these de- signed borders were applied to such articles as table runners, drapes, and pillows by stencil- ling, and to book covers. billfolds, wristwatch bands and purses by leather tooling. Various types of work occupied the groups of art studenfts at Christmas time. The making of gifts claimed the time of most of them. A few made it their business to convert old fruit jars into painted lanterns for the carollers. Sev- eral lent their artistic ability to the designing of posters to be posted around school dur- ing the holidays. All, however, contribut- ed a carved ivory soap statue for the Christmas crib. Immediately following the Christ- mas holidays several new projects were begun. The girls always interested in beautifying their homes, painted lamp shades for their parlors and bedrooms as well. ln the meantime 'the boys indulged in their age-old hobby of chip carving. Letter files, book ends, paper knives and paper weights were among their creations. ln accordance with established cus- tom, the mid-year Art Exhibit was held the week of February 7th. All the work of i Y ble was sponsored by the art department on February I4 to give ideas for tasty decorations to the entire student body, 'as well as anyone who wished to see the display. A table decorafted for a farewell party by Edith Quint, Catherine Behm, and Ru-th Deter- man was awarded first prize. Suitable decora- tions for parties for Lincoln's birthday, Val- entine Day, an engagement were also displayed. and graduation The mon-th preceding the close of the year the class was occupied preparing work for the annual County Fair. Plates of illuminated lettering, pen and ink drawings, masks and all sorts of craft work resulted from a month of concentrated effort. To climax the year's work, a unique dem- onstration was given with marionettes con- structed by a group of nine students during the course of the year. Bluebeard , a three-act play was presented, and novelty nunfbers were given during the entertainment. Top-C. Behm, M. Troy, H. Haverland, A. Un- 1 w w I 1 rein, R. Asnicar. Bottom-'M. Ahern, M.

Although Freshmen, as a rule, apparent- ly play an insignficant part in the lives of their upperclassmen, the l937 c-lass managed in more 'than one way to make itself known and no'ticed. Always on the spot when there was a call for action, the Freshmen have acquainted themselves with practically every activity spon- sored during the school year. All of the boys were received into the Blessed Virgin Mary Sodality, with their fel- low-students on April 5, Feast of the Annun- ciation. CLASS PRESIDENT John Barton As regards scholarship, Loomis Ayres has maintained an A average throughout his Freshman year. Although not merrrbers of the basketball and football teams the Freshmen have chim- ed in on all 'the noon baseball games they could. Ping pong held the interest of both the boys and girls. Among the group the most out- standing players were Yvonne Schutte, Marga- ret Craves, Joseph Schiel, aand joseph Spahn. The girls of the class were for the most part representative members of the Pep Club. Along the line of social activity the Fresh- men must be complimented upon the excel- lently arranged all-school party which they sponsored on April 9. ln order to afford ample entertainment for al'l, a short program was given. This was followed by a number of unusually interesting games, dancing to the accompaniment of an accordion, and refreshments. The class officers for the Freshman class are: President, John Barton: Vice President, Loomis Ayres: Secretary, Dorothy Petersen. Class Adviser, Sister Mary Corona. FRESHMA '

Although the St. Anthony's Music Department did not in- clude an orchestra this year, the glee clubs, both boys' and girls' have been sufliciently ac- tive to more than make up for this deficiency. With few exceptions all of the junior and senior girls were accepted as members of the Girls' Glee club. The male chorus made up of upper-classmen also, in- cluded only nine members, but these sufliced to out voice if not to out number 'the for- mer group. The first demonstration of combined gen- ius on the part of the glee clubs was displayed at the annual Christmas car-olling tour through the city, held on December 22. Quaint lanterns added the ancient atmosphere so imperative to such an affair. On various occasions both the boys and girls entertained at programs. An Indian Song program as well as a St. Patriclfs day program were outstanding features among these. The final undertaking of the Girls' Glee club for t-he school year of I937 was the oper- etta Margie Goes Modern by Carrington. The cast of characters: Margie, niece of foundress, Louise Dal Pon- te.

Margie, a student of the Brower's insti- 'tute of Art, will inherit a million dollars if she wins the Cecilian Medal before she is twenty- one. The medal is 'to be awarded to the best painting. It is to the advantage of Madame Ra- phael and the judges to keep Margie from win- ning the prize for if she fails to win, the money will revert to the Academy. The girls -of the Art institute when they hear of the plot to keep Margie from winning the prize decide to leave their paintings un- signed so that Margie can claim the prize. Mar- gie hides a painting 'that she has discarded. The judges not knowing what to do when they find the paintings unsigned decided to give the prize to the poorest painting by proclaiming it a piece of modern art. Margie's discarded painting is the one they choose and a hap- BOYS' GLEE CLUB C. Schadegg. R. Hoffman, B. Quinn, J. Brown, C. Mentgen, W. I-I-averland, L. Schlenz, J. Keenan. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Top-A.
