Design, the principles of border design, and working for spaces were emphasized. The study of design led into poster work and very effective Safety First posters were executed. The Freshmen gained a technique in these courses that will be the basis for their methods work the following year and for all future art work. The work of the Advanced Art Classes was practical and also developed the aesthetic side. Miss Bowen divided the work into two sectionsg crafts and graphic expression. In the crafts course. there was work in XIERNELDA Bownw batik, leather tooling, Gesso clay work, and block Ari printing on textiles. The class in graphic expression deal with the fundamentals of perspective. In this course there were free hand sketching, outdoor sketching, figure work, still life, painting, and a study of the diiferent types of reproduction in commercial art.

Miss IDA GLENN . The Dextrous Dabblers Club is composed of girls interested in the promotion of art and art appreciation in Teachers College. At the first meeting the club decided upon various art projects to be worked out during the year. At this meeting Miss Glenn also gave a talk on the art in Hawaii based upon her experience as a teacher there. Before Christmas each member designed a linoleum block and printed her own cards. This proved so interesting that it was decided to make decorative de- signs ior dresses, pillow tops, scarfs and other such articles. Other activities carried on by the art club include a trip to the Union Station, where sketches were made. Regular visits to the art institute and outdoor sketching trips were also included in the schedule. OFFICERS Svrund Tvrm . Prvsitivnt . . .... LUCILLE MoR::,xN . Virv-Pwsidvlzf . . .

Student Gouncil Serves .As Governing fBody BLANCHE MULLEN English and Citizenship The Student Council was organized to promote the highest interests of Teachers College and to serve as a responsible governing body of the school. Its aims are to conserve the ideals and traditions of the school, and to promote cooperation and good will among all mem- bers of the College. The Council functions through eight standing com- mittees composed of a chairman elected within the divisions. These committees are: Citizenship, Clubs, Publicity, Assembly, Pep and Sports. Social, XVays and Means, and Book Exchange. The Student Council itself is composed of repre- sentatives elected by each division. These representa- tives carry back the reports to the divisions. In this way the Council receives the opinion of the student body and is extremely sensitive to the wishes of the student body. OFFICERS First Term Second Ter-nt TNIARY HELEN NIEBRUGGE . .
