june 1931 GWYNNONIA 45 AKC 'Ill'lIlWlll1Il'lll IIES THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Members of the Athletic Association of the school enjoy two opportunities for pleasure: a Hallowelen mask party in the fall of the year and a grand picnic at a well-known place of amusement at the close of school. Besides being a source of enjoyment to those who have joined, the association has added much this year to the equipment and reputation of the school. When the call for assistance came from the Community Fund, the association donated ten dollars to that fund and five dollars to the Red Cross Fund. At Christmas ir- presented the Fam- ily Welfare Association with a check for eighty- five dollars. A Every February and June two scholarship prizes of ten dollars each, in gold, are awarded to mem- bers of the association, boy and girl, receiving the highest averages for each term. Two gifts were presented to the school through the year. One took the form of the adjustment of the cloclcs in the gymnasium so that time can be given for pupils to dress before the end of the period. The -other was the presentation of a photograph of Dr. Rozell Berryman, retiring principal of the school. The portrait will be hung in the oflice. Dr. Berryman was presented, when he left, with a completely Htted traveling bag as a reminder of the association which has worked with him for the credit of the school. The oflicers of the association for the first term were Madeline Groszier, president, Mabel Maig- el, vice-presidentg Maynard Duvall, secretary, and Howard Kapfer, treasurer. For the second semes- ter the following OPITCCFS served: Madeline Gros- zier, 9A6, president, Anna Peclcis, SAZ, vice- president, Edwin Bell, 9A4, secretary, and George Sammons, 9A8, treasurer. The faculty advisors for the year were: Miss Peters, Miss Johnson, Mr. Van Sant, Mr. Saltzman, Miss Collins, Miss Fountain. THE ART CLUB The members of the Art Club this year have had many interesting experiences, both in visits to the various art galleries in the city, and in the construction of artistic material, in their own club rooms in the school. The club opened in October with fifty-three members. The group composed of both boys and girls, divided into four sections, the members working under the direction of their own teach- ers of art. One group spent their entire time doing oil paintings. Another group decorated boxes and made picture frames of gesso, modeled jars in pottery, and sculptured. Another section worked with pottery, some hand-built and some Hred, painted glass tiles in enamel, and painted wall panels on linen. This group made a set of tooled leather book-ends, decorated with a pic- ture of the towers of Gwynns Falls School, and gave them to Dr. Berryman as a farewell gift. Another group worked in oil paintings, stenciled pillow tops, decorated wooden boxes, and painted lamp shades. One of the interesting visits was a trip to the Baltimore Museum of Art. The advisors of the club are Miss Barton, Miss Duval, Miss Leister, and Miss Brainard. THE NEWSPAPER CLUB Being a member of the Newspaper Club has its advantages. Not only have the members had the advantage of receiving individual instruction in composition, but they have also had an op- portunity to get some idea of editorial and jour- nalistic writing. Those who help with the copy have become quick to see typographical and gram- matical errors. This year the Newspaper Club published six numbers. The Christmas issue exhibited on its front page an original drawing by one of the promising art students of the school. The April issue gave its whole back page to the retiring prin- cipal, Dr. Rozell Berryman, including his por- trait and his biography. This issue brolce all rec- ords in the matter of subscriptions. There were twenty-three hundred copies sold. One of the meetings of the club tool: the form of a visit to The Sun office. The club meets every Tuesday after school. The faculty advisors are Miss Sahm, Miss Sap- pington, and Miss Schminclce.
