Members of the Art Club listen as Peggy McCarty offers helpful suggestions to future artists. THE Michaelangelists, founded in l9l5, is one of Georgian Court's oldest organiza- tions. Under the tutelage of Sister Mary Fran- cesca, head of the Art department and Miss Helen Reid Cole, instructor in Fine Arts, the club is dedicated to the appreciation of art in all its various phases. lt is open to all art stu- dents and to all who have a special interest along these lines. As a project for the year, the club under- took the publicity work for the N. F. C. C. S. Members of the organization contributed poster work to aid the various drives and ac- tivities on campus. The club also began work, on an art scrap- book which was made by the art students for the purpose of collecting articles, pictures, and clippings pertinent to the field of art. Early in the year the Michaelangelists vis- ited the pottery mill of Mr. Geza De Vegh in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. Mr. De Vegh lec- tured on the processes of pottery making and demonstrated many techniques employed. A number of other field trips to museums, ex- hibits, etc., were planned. To stimulate the interest of all at Geor- gian Court in the activities of the art students, a bulletin board in Raymond Hall was desig- nated for the display of a painting known as the Picture of the Week. Each week a new picture is posted giving the students an oppor- tunity to display their works throughout the year. To conclude their activities, the Michael- angelists annually exhibit the work of the art department. The exhibit is comprised of oils, water colors, charcoals, pastels, textile designs, anatomy illustrations, fashion designs, ceram- ics, wood carving, leather and jewelry crafts. The worksare judged and awards are made for outstanding work in various fields. , The officers of the club are: president, Peggy McCarty, vice president, Patricia Far- ley, secretary, Rosemarie Crawley, and treas- urer, Jodie Simons.

...L l l -1 li C741 ! il : ., f . fl I ,,v,. 'N Under the direction of Ada Procaccini music lovers rehearse for a program which will be presented before the student body 'llllll ClllllllllA'l'll CLUB MUSIC is a vital part of the life at the Court and this is where the Camarata Club plays an important part. ' Meetings are held at a regularly scheduled time each month. The members are composed of those who are in the music department and those who have an appreciation for music and a desire to further that appreciation by coming in contact with others who have the same in- terests. This club was organized in 1942 to foster an interest in better music and to awaken an interest in composers and instruments. The principal objective of the club, that of learn- ing to love music by listening to it is applied in a practical way at the meetings by playing records of the great symphonies and having the members sing and play musical instru- ments. This club takes its name from a group of early Italians, who gathered for the develop- ment of their musical knowledge at the home of Count Bardi, where they discussed the cur- rent operas and musical scores. Through their interest the group incorporated themselves into the first Camarata. Though this club is young it has offered much to music lovers. They have been allowed a chance for self-expression, and an oppor- tunity for getting better acquainted with the art of music in its vast field. Ursula Lafferty, president of the Camarata Club is assisted by Ada Procaccini, vice presi- dentg Carmen Pillai, secretaryg Maureen Muth, treasurer.
