ART CLUB For the purpose of furthering an understanding of the function of art in student life and growth the Marycrest Art Club provided its members with opportunities for enrichment in this cultural area. The year's activities began with a demonstration of plaster piece and waste molds by the club members. Later the beautiful Tudor home of neighbor Mrs. William Mundy provided background for an informal showing of her own expressive paintings and of her collection of rare ancient pieces of art. A gay Christmas party highlighted by fantastic sketching games completed the early winter season plans. Topics for spring meetings included analyses of slides, a panel discussion of new movements in contemporary art, and iITln0l'lTlHl group discussions. Early in March the club members spent a day at the Chicago Art Institute, while mid-March was the 'fund-raising card party for scholarship funds for some talented art student. Then, climaxing a busy and fruitful year were the faculty-student exhibits at the Davenport Gallery and the Marycrest Fine Arts Festival.

This select group consists of fifteen members chosen from various school depart- ments. The Student Library Committee acts as liaison for the library staff, faculty, and student body. Special functions of sub-committees were reviews of outstanding books given at each monthly meeting, sale of useful paperbacks, library publicity, program planning and audio-visual demonstrations. The group also promoted campus observance of Catholic Press Month and National Library Week. fi- . . Huh, if it xl'-1 -Q., 1
