Several members of the Art and Arts and Crafts classes exhibited specimens of their work in oil painting, sculpture, reed basketry, and jewelry at the Tippecanoe County Fair of 1926. Practically all entries from Jefferson High School won either first or second premiums. The art display which won second place for Jeff in the State High School contest, held at the Indiana State Fair in 1925, has recently been returned from the John Herron Art Institute of Indianapolis, where it was taken for exhibition during the teachers' convention. The Art de- partment is planning another exhibit for the Indiana State Fair this year. Shortly after school opened last September, an interesting collection of oil paintings and sketches, made in the vicinity of Lafayette last sum- mer by members of the Outdoor Sketching class, was on display in room 309. The work shown was of a very high quality. Several sales were reported following the exhibition. Wallace E. Wolever, Art Editor of the 1927 Nazzfilzzs, has been hon- ored by having one of his paintings, An Autumn Vista , accepted and hung in the Exhibition by Lafayette Artists being held from May 14 to June 15 in the Purdue Memorial Union Building. Miss James of the Art department has four paintings in this exhibition. J. H. S. ALL-SCHOOL EXHIBITION This year we are having our first all-school exhibition in which not only the Art department, but all other departments will be represented. The committee in charge of arrangements is composed of Miss E. G. James, chairman, Mr. Hammons, Miss Clark, Miss Slayback, and Mr. Taylor. Q J v C 1 C Q X ',- -X I. jf , r EC ' J 'T' PAGE 105
