The Art Department ., I F, gb . Q notice all the ups and downs, successes and failures of the year in the Studio in this brief Q ,l:.l.ff.,f pf sketch would be impossible, and yet to us they all seem important. Come forth into the V, light of things, let Nature be your teacher, fell from the lips of XVordsworth, and we feel 41 5 that we have been taught to appreciate its truth. So popular in fact has been the study of Nature that we have all, without exception, incorporated into almost every possible form ru f the Fidus Acliatesf' Inspired by the love of Nature we have adopted the Mysterious . i .r dr' -1 7' N2 w wf Blue Flame of the Iris as our Howerg the Fleur-de-lis that accompanies us in our summer Wir- pleasures, pouring out its fragrance upon the air. And above all our actions we hold our color Blue emblematic of 'l'ruth. And so we would by these symbolize the fact that true Art is Love of Nature, supported by an appreciation of the Noble, the Beautiful, and the True. The most important event of the year was the1Xrt Reception. The parlors were transformed into a veritable Art Gallery, and on all sides were to be seen pictures, prints, and sketches which showed alike talent and faithful work. tSo we have been toldl, each deserved a prize but when the Poster Contest closed we realized that all do not see alike. XVell it is possibly better, it is embarrassing to have one's work marked Prize XVinner, it makes one so sought after 1? l. Our teacher, Miss Florence liarle Mcliay, has shown the patience of the proverbial job in her work, and this, added to her talent and knowledge of her calling, has made the year one of much pleasure and proht. It is the hope ofthe .Xrt Class of '03 to accomplish more than an average in Art, and so we shall strive to make in deed and in truth Artists. XVe would not, if we could, replace any of the Great Masters, all honor to their Grand Creations. The world has been blessed and uplifted by them, but we hope the skillful hand of some member of the Class of '03 will produce something that will tell to the world our conception of Art and will take its place among the Great Conceptionsf' How noble it is to draw by the aid of talent a great lesson from Nature and show to the human race the Soul of the picture.

The Business Department 5 HEN many years hence the people are looking over the past and recalling the astonishing movements that are going on in the business world, they will notice one which stands out more prominently than the others, and will ask in wonder where and by whom was this movement started? Suddenly the fact will dawn upon them that it was assisted very much by the Class of IQOZ-O3 ofthe Business Department of the L. C. Y. I.. And since now the Class is to help in the bringing about of many important things in the future, perhaps you would like to know something of the Class. First, it might be asked, who are we, and from whence come we? W'e come from different quarters of thd globe, some from the Blue Grass regions of Kentucky, some from the Old Volunteer State, some from the Republic of Mexico, and still others from the prairies of the Lone Star State. But the future-methinks I am taking a trip,and as I pass through Kentucky I am delayed in Slaughter- ville, now a city. Wfhile there I have occasion to stop at one of the largest establishments and meet my former classmate, Emma Sherrill. Emma has become the popular typewriter of the hrm. Next to Hanson I go, and there meet I-Iattie Ashby. Hattie has been a popular stenographer, but has given up the work and now is ruling as queen in a nice little home. In my mystic rounds I stop at Lebanon, Tennessee. One of the few familiar faces that I see is that of Clarcie Cloyd. She has become an expert bookkeeper. In Shelbyville I hear my former classmate, Edna I-lix, has succeeded in her calling as a stenographer and is devoted to the work. Troy, Tennessee, being on my trip,I find in one of the many schools there Lizzie Cloar. She has become a popular and efficient teacher in the business department of one of the schools. Long is the next ride, which is tu El Paso, Texas. I am to remain there only a short time, but while waiting I see a familiar face, 'tis Lucelle Reyes. She has been in lil Paso for some time at work, but is returning home on a visit. NVhat in store forthe other member of the Class we will have to wait and see. 4K
