Art The study of art is to prepare the students to teach or to enter the artist profession, to appreciate the pic- tures we see in every day life and to love and under- stand the paintings of the old masters. Front the study of color we understand the im- portance of balance and blending ill our rooms and our homes and we realize what a large art color la s 5 D in our lives. Art is an old culture and its study teaches us to see the beauty all around us and to realize that art is not only a good hobby but that there is a large field for commercial art. Magazines are always needing new ideas for their covers and many manufacturers are desiring ideas to sell their products. Art apprecia- tion, which is taught also, adds to the everyday living through an understanding of beauty. Those enrolled in the art classes are: Trnla Brown, Joy Eaton, Anne Fisher, Belle Long, H. C. Snook, Nora Ellen Todd, Governor Tootle, Lillie Belle Tarkington, Emma Lee Waller, Mary Hodges, Joe Harper, Johnny Martindale, Betty Anderson, Elizabeth Boatman, Frieda Bowen, Rebekah Blair, Mary Lou Crittenden, Theodora Holt, Ayn Madigan, Jack Keel- ing, Bernice Matlock, Bernie Randolph, Uldean Sharp, and Lorene Thornton. Mrs. Ruth White of Muskogee, who has won cov- eted recognition as an artist in exhibits throughout the nation, is the instructor. Her work is hanging in a museum, a high school, elmrches, and in private col- lections in this country and the Philippines.
