MARY ALMA GEE Chairman Serenade to Au- tumn, Coker's tribute to one of the loveliest seasons, was the theme for out first dance of the year. The dining room was transformed into a woodland paradise with Vermillion, ochre and russel leaves floating under a gold and orange crepe canopy. Music, by the Clemson jungaleers, was such as you might hear from the pipes of Pan. The Christmas season was ushered in by a mantle of white. The theme of the dance, Under the Mistle- toe, was carried out by Kissing Bells hung at stra- tegic points. One of the highlights of the dance was the crowning of the Beauty and Cutie Queens and the announcement of their courts. The climax of the school year came in an ingenious idea to combine the annual big-name dance with the May Day festivities. Our name guests for this year were the Four Lads and everyone agreed they made this dance one of our best. The DANCE COMMITTEE, headed by Mary Alma Gee, handles all the arrangements for the dances: engaging a band, planning the decorations and sell- ing tickets. agic Moments Seated: McLaurin, Wells, Gee-chairman, Pennell.

Education in Art The ART EXHIBITS sponsored by the Art De- partment plav a vital part in the cultural education of students at Coker. Throughout the year the corridors outside the li- brary are a center of interest, here the paintings of various artists are displayed. These paintings are the recipients of many different criticisms from students who have various, opinions. The exhibits this year have been exceptionally well prepared and have had excellent variety of content. Some etchings of Isabella Bank Markell and some watercolors by Nell Choate Jones caused much evalu- ation and discussion among the students. The Click Club, a new organization for amateur photographers, presented a very interesting display of pictures taken by the members. The senior art exhibit . . . Mary Miller, Tricia Fisher and Julie Blocker seem to be anticipating the day when their picture will hang in this hall. 91' YQ m Lw, ,ggi 1 6212231 'fi' ' Coker students eagerly await exhibits by their friends, such as this one by the first year water color students. The Sophomore watercolor show was proved most interesting since the exhibitors were Coker students. Many comments were made for and against the exhibit Brazil in Pastels which was painted by Carl Berndtson. The colorful works of Edythe Ferris and Everett Misunas were presented under the title Prints in Color. The Senior show was displayed in May. This ex- hibit represents the final product of four years of study and hard work on the part of Coker's only senior art major, Patricia Fisher. She displayed a selection of prints, oils, water colors, sculpture and ceramics. Without the constant effort and interest of Mr. Nickey Brumbaugh, professor of art, these exhibits would never have been possible. He worked hard to obtain exhibits so that Coker students might enlarge their appreciation of art through the observation of new art forms. 133
