ART RS. PRATT, Q Sprattie to those who study under herl, has once again taken up the joh of teaching all those enrolled in the upper school who are artistically inclined, to model heautiful pieces out of sloppy gray clay, or per' haps to attempt a more difficult medium, such as plaster, or stone. Some examples of this work are a lovely snapdragon hlossom, spirited thoroughhreds, heautiful women. as well as a numher of comical figures. It has heen a different sort of Drawing and Painting course this last semester, with Mr. La Grille in charge. The 7th and Sth grades have done quite a hit with fashions and posters. The upper classmen have struggled over charcoal drawings representing articles to he preserved in the war effort, decoupages, and many other interesting as well as novel things for the Bush students. Grease pencil drawings proved to he of great interest, since the student, with a little care, is ahle to create the effect of an etching. A portion of the senior class has endeavored to enlighten themselves hy studying under Mrs. Livengood and Mrs. Pratt the history of Music and Art in relationship to each other. They have studied this relation from the first mud pieces, and sound uttered, to what is now called the music and art of today! This course has proved to he an interesting as well as educational exf perience for all. The Fine Arts Committee could hardly he left out of this hrief summary. This committee is a product of our struggling student govern' ment: it has attempted to increase our meager knowledge of the arts as well as of educational suhjects. This has heen accomplished hy arranging exhihitions in the hall, hy careful choice of material for class hulletin hoards and also hy aiding the asseinhly committee in developing musical programs.

SPORTS SPURTS HE backbone behind all the athletics you see carried on around Bush is the sports committee. This committee consists of about a dozen girls, Sylvia Clise, Nancy Gallagher, Betty Osborne, Phyll Rattray, Sana Harrah, Pat Hinman, Martha Hollaway, Cynthia Bruce, Col' leen White, Pat Scherrer, Susy Black, Curly Elvidge, and Mrs. Paul, who organize both team and individual tournaments. The main games are servicefball, volleyfball, pingfpong, basketball, badminton, baseball, and tennis. Of all these sports the class competition in basketball arouses the most enthusiasm. The event that aroused the most interest was the fatherfdaughter turnout. That night the final basketball game was played between the sophof more and junior classes. This valiantly played game in which Muscles Donworth received a black eye and all other players bumps and bruises, was won by the sophomores. At intermission the entertainment was switched to comedy with the fathers using football tactics, and basketball antics, taking on the seniors in a game of basket' ball. By fair means or foul the fathers managed to win with a score of eight to seven! The winners of the other tournaments were the sophomores for baseball, the seniors are not such skilled players in that score, even the seventh and eighth grades were victorious in Il game with themg Phyll Rattray won the ping' pong, the sophomores the volleyfball and service- ball tournaments, in fact the sophomores have walked away with all the interfclass games. pr,-,m-'UN' ...
