SKETCH SWB THIS SCHOOL YEAR, WITH ITS INAUGURATION OF THE ACTIVITY PERIOD, HAS SEEN THE DEVEL- OPMENT OF SEVERAL NEW CLUBS, AMONG THEM ONE NAMED THE SKETCH CLUB. BEING NEW, ITS PRO- GRAM HAS BEEN MORE OR LESS EXPERIMENTAL IN ORDER TO FIND OUT THE MOST DESIRABLE TYPE OF PROGRAM T0 SET UP. THE ORGANIZATIONIS BI- WEEKLY MEETINGS HAVE BEEN HELD ON THE STAGE IN THE AUDITORIUM, SINCE THAT WAS THE ONLY AVAILABLE SPACE DURING THE ACTIVITY PERIOD ON THURSDAYS. THE CLUB PROGRAM DURING THE PAST YEAR HAS INCLUDED MANY TYPES OF wORK. WE FIRST DISCOVERED A FEW TRICKS OF How T0 PLACE AND DRAW SIMPLE OURVES AND STRAIGHT LINES. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BV APPLICATION OF THESE PRINC- IPLES IN THE DRAWING OF SOME SIMPLE PICTURES. NEXT WE LEARNED HOW T0 DO SOME WORK WITH ANGULAR PERSPECTIVE. ABOUT CHRISTMAS TIME WE HAD FUN MAKING CHRISTMAS CARDS OUT OF DRAWING PAPER AND SCRAPS OF' DECORATIVE WRAPPING PAPER. AT THE TIME OF THE ART EXHIBIT AT THE SCHOOL THE CLUB MADE A STUDY OF SOME OF THE PICTURES OF THE DISPLAY. THE MEMBERS ESPECIALLY ENJOYED HEARING EACH OTHERIS COMMENTS ON SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING PICTURES SUCH AS NBLUE HORSESN AND VAN GOGH'S HCAFEU. MEETINGS DURING THE SPRING WERE DEVOTED TO PLANNING AND DOING ART WORK FOR THE ANNUAL. MR. IVES, THE CLUB SPONSOR, HAS ExPRESS- ED THE DESIRE TO SEE THE CLUB NOT ONLY CONTINUE NEXT YEAR, BUT ALSO GROw IN MEMBER- SHIP AND ENTHUSIASM. IF THERE ARE ENOUGH PUPILS INTERESTED NEXT FALL A MORE ELABORATE PROGRAM WILL BE PLANNED AND THE CLUB MEETINGS WILL BE IN CHARGE OF ELECTED OFFICERS. NEXT YEARIS ACTIVITIES WILL OF COURSE DEPEND UPON THE wISHES OF THE MEMBERS BUT MIGHT WELL INCLUDE CREATIVE CRAFTS OR DECORATIVE DESIGN SOME OF THE CRAFTS WHICH MIGHT BE TAKEN UP ARE wooD-CARVING, LINOLEUM BLOCK PRINTING, wOoD-BURNING, LEATHERCRAFT, BEADWORK, OR BASKET wEAvING. FOR DECORATIVE DESIGN WE MIGHT INCLUDE THE DECORATION OF WOODEN PLATES BOWLS, BRACELETS, HOT-DISH MATS, ETC. SUCH A PROGRAM SHOULD INTEREST BOYS AS WELL AS GIRLS.
