This organization was begun by some ot Mr. Jones' art students who were interested in the art ot painting on wet plaster. Their tirst problem was the painting ot practice plaques, and the second and last to date has been the decoration, in juvenile story illustration, ot the Senior Park built by Mr. MacdonaId's mortar trades classes. The group has since begun plans tor a larger project ot a more serious theme. CONTINENTAL ARTISTS Washington, although comparatively young, can boast ot many time artists. When plans tor the Continental were started tor I933, a large number ot talented young men and women applied tor positions on the art statt. Among those chosen to do the art worlc on this year's book are some who have contributed their skill to the tormer annuals. I 25 I Ari' is long, buf Tlme Is fleeflng.
