R liss Hester Robinson The membership of the Brush and Pencil Ulub is open to all high school students who show artistic talent. To gain admittance, the candidates must apply and be voted upon by the club. If their applications are accepted they are required to submit a draw- ing made during the club meeting at which they were originally proposed. The draw- ing must then be presented to the club for discussion of its originality and merit. The prospective member is not admitted until the drawing is accepted by a majority vote of the club. Because of its limited membership the club has not entered into any great activi- ties. The first semester, its project was a calendar illustration with block prints made by the members of the club. The second semester, a detailed study of the human figure was made under the direction of Miss Hester Robinson, sponsor. The purpose of the organization is being carried out by creating and studying work in 'irt '.fxmaf.es.x'x1sv fxfx fm 'favs-we ti?
