Page You Create With Hands And Minds ll'hen you entered school, you couldn't de- cide what you wanted to flo---work xvith books or work with your hands. You considered the subjects offered and began studying them. Math, science, bookkeeping, lan.guage--all would require many hours with books to be understood thoroughly. You looked at the opportunities of art home economics, manual training, typing, stenog- raphy. Then, as you looked at yourself. you asked, For what subjects am I best equipped? VVhich can I do best-use mv. hands or use my niind?' , . USING THEIR MINDS. Top: Working with words-Tetrault, Balthazar, and Simp- son in Room 207. Lower: Working with num- bers-Swaim and Piersol outside of Room 107. Il's a Pleasure to Draw There is something more to artistic develop- ment than just painting an emotion or thought to be hung in the art galleries of the world. During the course of a day you notice many beautiful objects-landscape, machinery, or just plain folks, and, if you are an art stu- dent, you observe these things from an appre- ciative standpoint. You are able to canvas your thoughts by your method of expression. With this idea in mind, the students enrolled in the art classes. Thev did not attempt to pro- duce masterpieces, but rather sought to gain an enjoyment of expression all their own. The first job of an art student this year was pencil sketching. Drawing outdoor scenes was ideal the first weeks of school. Then, when the breezes became chilly, it was back to the classroom to study water coloring, which at first seemed very difficult, since the selection of colors required a great deal of judgment. To broaden knowledge of the masterpieces of the past, some time was devoted to the study of the lives of famous European artists. Atten- tion was also given to poster painting. 12 By Roland Lang Usually, students register for only one year. For those who wish to continue, more advanced work is offered, including wood painting, metal tapping. and oil painting. Architectural paint- ing is available for four-vear students. A course connected with the art class is mechanical drawing, a vocational subject also taught by Mrs. Hattie Bell Dapron. The activities of the Franklyn Booth Art Club were coupled closely with classroom work. All art students participated in the American Legion Poppy Contest in the fall, and later they entered the poster contest sponsored by the Woman's Club. In between such activities, the club found time to have social atfairs. The animal picnic was held in the fall. Between semesters, the club had an informal party after school-one of those get-together affairs where the artists enjoyed dancing, eating, and talking. President for the year was Delmar .Ienearyg vice-president was Verna Davis: secretary, Mardelle Altenbrunng and treasurer, Steven Nickols.
