THE STATESMAN Art At the first of the school year several new clubs were organ- ized in Kent State. One of these was the Sketch club, organized by Miss Broadf bent, which is for those students in the upper grades that cannot take art as an academic subject. The purpose of the club is to develop a better interest in art. Members are allowed to do any kind of work they please. Draw- ing with chalks and sketching from a model seemed to be the most popular. At the first meeting club officers were elected as follows: Mary Allen, president, Wallace Taylor, vice president, and Dor- othy Hostettler, secretary-treasurer. The members of the club are: Bertha Kernan, Mary Allen, Martha Rufener, Theodore Haymaker, Harold Mittendorf, Bill Stevens, Donald Harris, Wallace Taylor, Berton Altman, Ralph Fink, Gladys Trumphour, Josephine Meyers, Dorothy Hostettler, and Frances Glozzi. In the freshman aft classes the boys and the girls have been carrying out projects that are based on everyday life. The girls started their course by sketching faces. From there they went into arrangement of hair and how to apply make- up, Costume designing was the next subject and each girl designed her own sport, street, school, and party outfit. Home decoration was the next topic and how to design rugs, curtains, wallpaper and furniture arrangement were main subjects. In the boys art class, architecture was the object ot their course. This included, city and town plans of business sections, parks, and residential sections. Designing trade marks and modern lettering was the next topic. The whole subject was based on the principle of design. PAGE 62
