DEPARTMENTS TIIEY HAVE A GOOD LINE— IN ART 09 Art is fundamentally a study of the beautiful. Since beauty is a study of the mind, it can not be satisfactorily defined. At the beginning of the year the art students made notebooks and placed sketch- es in them every week. You have noticed the art students, with notebooks and soft lead pencils in hand, seeking places out-of- doors to sketch. There appeared on the bulletin board in the art room during the year productions of some of the famous paintings of the cen- turies. Notes on the lives of the jiainters and their masterpieces were given the stu- dents during the week. Diu ' ing the year still life was consi lered. Studies were made in pencil, charcoal, water color, crayon, pastel, and pen and ink. Posters large and small were made by the art department. They were made to adver- tise the minstrel show, all basketball games, She Stoops to Concpier, and other drama- tic productions. Perspective was also an interesting phase of the art work this year, especially perspec- tive in buildings. The most interesting work of the ad- vanced class was the study of costume de- sign, which began with ancient times and included types up to the modern American dress. From these ancient costumes were designed modern dresses. This class pre- sented a chapel program portraying the dif- ferent -periods of female fashions from the Egyptians to the present day. The art department sponsored a program at the Parent-Teachers ' meeting in ilarch. Esther Gettings gave a talk on the famous painters and ' their masterpieces of the many centuries. An exhibit of the work of Indiana artists was held in May. Artists exhibiting were Wheeler, Hadley, Davisson, the ilcBrides, Yeager, Stark, and Richey. In connection with this there was an exhibit of the Fort Wayne Art School and of the high school. Life is juct a picture, hung in light or shade, And our hand must hang it, steady, unafraid. In that endless gallery lined with works of men, Where will be our corner at the journey ' s end? Will the light surround us or in darkness deep, Dust begrimed, forgotten, must our canvas sleep? HOME MAKIN(i DEPARTMENT At the close of a visit to the United States about eighty years ago, Brillat Sava- rin summarized his opinion of American civ- ilization by exclaiming, One hundred reli- gions and only one sauce. ' He saw America before it had fairly begun to emerge from its necessary period of crude jnoneering. The country had not reached the sauce stage. l)Ut that period has passed. The pioneers liave killed the snakes and b iilt the liridges. We are busy paving the roads, d eveloping parks and playgrounds, improv- ing- scliools, refining our tcchni(|ue, increas- ing oui ' efficienc.v and our leisure, learning how to li e. Learning how to live is the aim of our Home ilaking department. The kind of life one lives depends largely upon the ki)id of household of which he is a member. If one ' s family life lacks the amenities, the spiritual beauties, the sauces that bring out the fiiu ' savor of which life is capable, he is likely to be seriously handicapped. The highest aim of our course is to provide these sauces along with the physical well-being which prevails in every good home. Genuine home-making is much more than what is called housekeeping. Good house- keeping is a sine (|ua non of honu ' -raaking, l)ut is not sufficient. In addition to this, successful home-mak- ing re(|uires provision for the culture and happiness of the family, for the intellectual, sjiiritual, and esthetic well-being of the household. Our department is endeavoring to develop these principles. Genuine home-making is an exceedingly difficult and supremely important undertak- ing. It is a business, a science, and an art. It is the greatest of all of the professions. WE MADE IT IN INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLASS The drawing class of the industrial arts department, under the direction of Mr. Dygert, has made many perspective draw- ings this year; one drawing of the new school building was jn-odiiced. The class in woodwork has made as projects tables, lamp stands, plant stands, lamps, broom holders, magazine racks, hall trees, bird houses, ferneries, pin trays, book ends, two-tone mallets, which are very popular, an inlaid checkerboard of maple and walnut , and scenery for pla.vs. Page eleven

Of«l AretU l »t» ' ol in ummfi- c»ft.x«.Ke Glj Oh Rav ' m»ry ni n IN THE DIM, This certainly was poor weather (or flying. I had to fly all night too. You see I was going to the 19 5 2 airplane show in New York City. Yes, I said airplane show. Cars were somewhat out of date at the time although they were still used. I wish the pilot of the plane coming toward me would get over on his own side of the air- way. Hey! what was he trying to do! Crash!! He made a left turn without giving me warn- ing and of course he ran right into me. Planes had safety devices, the use of which enabled the pilots to glide to a safe landing. Luckily there was an ariport near and we landed safe- ly on the good old terra firma of this port. I got out of my plane all ready to tell the oth- er pilot what a terrible driver he was, but when he walked over to my plane humbly to beg my pardon, who should he be but that big bug of a Bug Dole. Excuse me, you didn ' t know he was a big bug did you? He happened to be editor of the New York Times and several of the best magazines of the day. We hurried into the airport diner to wait while our planes were being repaired. We took a table near the door and waited to be served. The waitress hurried up to our table with the menu and who should she be but Bonnie Munn. She and her husliand, Arthur Goodrich, were running the airport and diner. Bug and I ordered, finished our lunch, and then he began to tell me about all the class of •34. Of course you know where Harry Hull is? Yes, I replied, I wonder how Harry ' s making out as United States ambassador to Russia? Very well, I believe, answered Bug. Do you ever hear from Jim McKillen? I asked. Oh, yes, he and Margaret Wilson are mar- ried and living in Indianapolis. They have two children. .Jim ' s in charge of some airplane tire company. How about Elyda Chaudoin? What became of her? That ' s funny, replied Bug. You know I ran into her yesterday. She has an exclusive dress shop in New York City. And Where ' s Winifred Robertson? She ' s one of my star-reporters. She is known in the city as one of the best women reporters. Just then the large passenger plane landed and many of the passengers came into the diner for something to eat, and last but not least among them came Joe Elmer. He was pitching for the Cubs. We learned from Joe that Gertrude Young and George Goudy were be- coming very famous in the South as the dance team Jerry and Larry. Joe said the pilot and hostess were coming right in and he invited them to eat with him as they were old friends of his. So Joe sat down at our table to wait for his friends. They came in very soon, and much to Bug ' s and my surprise they were Wayne Aldrich and Jane Beaver. They too sat down with us and Wayne began to tell us about the people he had seen lately that were in the class of ' 3 4. He had seen Ruth Yotter the night before. She was giving a concert in New York. I keep forgetting you didn ' t know she had gained international fame as a pianist and cellist. Her manager happens to be Dick Wilder. Wayne told us that Margaret De- Vinney had been on his plane from New York to Boston -the evening previous to the one he had seen Ruth. Margaret is president of Smith. a college for women. Jane had seen some of the old class too. She had told us that Marjorie Killinger and Alice Koos were running a gift and candy shop combined in a suburb of Boston. She had also seen that screen and stage favorite of the day. Max Newnam, in his latest stage production, Beaver Behave. Let ' s have some music, sugested Wayne. So he turned on the new television radio in the diner and whose orchestra should we get but Max Collins ' with Albert Omstead that silver toned tenor singing the vocal refrain Page twelve
