Art Service Committee Makes Posters The latest addition to the art department was the art service committee. Seventeen members, headed by Mrs. Richard Jones, sponsor, and Ruth Blanks, chairman, provided any needed posters for school clubs or town organizations. The group charged at least 25 cents, in addition to the materials used, for each work. Proceeds accrued went into the fund to finance the purchase of a reproduction of a masterpiece for the school. To aid homeroom teachers art students were assigned specific bulletin boards. As a year-round project the pupils maintained attractive, tasteful displays. Classes prepared and devised original creations in glass-work, mosaics, ceramics, potato prints, metal enamel- ing, tempra, oil, water colors, pastel chalk, and charcoal. Band classes, in addition to learning more about the various instruments, studied the life and style of Ferde Grofe, composer of the Mississippi Suite. Student musicians were responsible for the definitions of terms and for learning the keys and key signatures.
