NAME IT AND YOU CAN HAVE IT Green Dogs a Novelty ANG! Another Red Skin hit, the dust. Only this time it wasn't a Red Skin. It might have been a dog, elephant, pig or the such like. Maybe we should explain ourselves. The art class did clay modeling for a while. and in order to get the proper shape for some of the animals' ears, tails, legs. etc.. they were instructed by their teacher. Mrs. McCurdy, to throw them on the tloor a while. You had to watch your step when this was going on, for, unless you were good at dodging, you might have been soaked in the ear witl1 a pig. VVonder what they would have done if some visitor should have stepped through the door and should have been hit in the eye with an elephant '? Wie can 't even imagine, so you just guess. If only some of our well-known artists could have seen the color scheme they used! Can you imagine an orange pig, dotted here and there with blue spots or a green elephant with orange eyes? Even though the colors were exaggerated, one thing was cer- tain. the articles were so good that they didn 't have to be labeled. Some of the dogs had the cutest names. NVonder if Henry Clay would feel disgraced if he knew that one of them was named after him '! The class arranged a display of art. objects from foreign countries in a glass case in the hall. This gave students an opportunity to enjoy arts and crafts from such countries as Japan. China, Mexico, Italy, Egypt. India, Germany, Spain and Palestine. The objects were loaned by members of tl1e faculty and others who were interested in promoting art appreciation. Other interesting subjects the class took up were pencil sketching, water color scenes, oil pictures, l'll1'ISIlll?lS greetings. oriental wall panels, portfolios, perspective, tie-dye and batik work. The junior high did some very successful work also. They studied color theory and its application to craft problems, designing for covered boxes, lettering. posters, cartooning, greeting cards, design books, block printing, soap carving, and crayon wall hang- ings. lVho knows but that some day one of us may walk into the Chicago Art Institute and see a very beautiful painting by-Let's say- You Guess. Then our memories will go back to the little art room in the Hagerstown school where they had tippy chairs and where they decorated pigs, orange with blue spots. Twenty-live

EPITOME WORKERS Best Epitomc Ever? Rl'l'E-I'l'S, l'11Q'1'2lYl111l'. cover design, theme, printing. pieturesftliese are only a few of the many things to be considered in the publishing' of a school annual, which is the greatest undertaking' of the senior class. The Epitome conversations at the begin- ning of the year are full of optimism. Each person is sure of a better annual than that of the last year, and it is this coutidenee which is carried over into the actual work and makes the annual a success. In the early fall. an editor is elected by the class. The editor, class president and sponsor in turn choose staff members from names given to them by seniors who wish to be on the statt. The class chooses the photographer, group and senior pictures are taken, and work gets under way. There are three people who are indispensable to the success of the year- book-1 he photographer. engraver, and print- er. Reliable firms must, be chosen for this work because the failure of one firm to do good work results ordinarily in the impossi- bility of good work from the remaining' two. HRQI954 Hfepresentativmfs from these three agencies confer with the sponsor and staff 1119llllJCl'S and agree upon arrangement of the book, type of printing, and other important phases of the work. All the stati' members are important. to the completion of the annual, and they have co- operated with the sponsor to the fullest ex- tent in spite ol' many little aggravating details of their respective offices. Those poor literary editors-how abused they felt after they had completed what they thought was a peach of a story only to have it handed back to them with this paragraph marked out or that one ehan,Q'ed, but they willingly rewrote the ar- ticle without any complaint. There, too. were the advertising editors, wl1o after two futile attempts had failed to' convince a pessimistic business man that he should buy an ad and were told that they must return for the third time with a new sales talk and get an ad, which they usually did. The typists came in for their hard work but the above were only a few examples of the splendid cooperation or harmonization of the entire staff. VVhen you examine this book, please remember that it not the work of only one or two persons but the combination of the efforts of all staff members. l -' 4.1 ,. . Twenty-si.1:
