Held on Dec. 16 and 17 the sale was completely organized and run by students. It was the first sale of this type held at Valley though Mrs. Zella Marggraf, club sponsor, had been thinking about the idea for several years.

I feel that the sale is a valuable teaching tool in that it is practical experience for the students on how such an exhibit is run. It also pro- vides a prohtable outlet for the stu- dents' work and helps stimulate community interest in art educa- tion, Mrs. Marggraf explained. Before objects could be entered in the sale, they had to pass a' stu- dent jury and meet with the clubls high standards. Items sold every- where from 5151 to 31375, with most things between 35 and 51620. The most expensive items sold was a metal sculpture of a horse by Pat Jameson, club president, which was sold for 375 to Mrs. Elizabeth B. Whitten, associate professor of English at Valley. A wide variety of work was dis- played and sold. Paintings, sculp- tures, ceramics, jewelry, serigraphs' and drawings were purchased by faculty and community members who made up the largest portion of the customers. Publicity for the event included posters, both on cam- pus and off, mailed announcement folders and newspaper coverage. Next year, club members hope to get radio and TV coverage to pub- licize their sale to an increasingly interested public.
