In the Woman's Club exhibit both instructors as well as students were recognized. Miss Martha Fisher won a first prize for her water color paint- ing, and Miss Sallie Howell drew a second for her oil painting. Pat jack- son received a second place award for a chalk drawing, while both Howard Vasold and Alberta Krebbs took third place awards for their posters. In crafts Edwina Giessel won a third for her puppets, and Marion Leuenberger, a second for her tray.
