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 . .

X : L+., .Art Gourses Offer fP'ractical Experiences The Freshman art courses are designed to give the girls a general foundation of teclmique. The picture on this page shows one of the Freshman classes sketch- ing human figures. Animal drawing, which came next. worked over into soap carving and the art room became a veritable menagerie. 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. Each member of the advanced classes was an art enthusiast before the course had reached its completion. Miss Vernelda Bowen has charge of the Advanced Art Classes and a part of the Freshman Art work. Miss Bowen received the major part of her training at the Art Institute of Chicago, where she graduated in 1927. The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the finest schools of its kind to be found anywhere, and Teachers College is very fortunate to have Miss Bowen as a member of its faculty. E151

Its subscription list includes not only the students of the college but niany aluninae and patrons wishing to follow the activities of the school.
