ART CLUB Produces Ceramic Vikings and Norlcma' Troll Dolls The Art Club, directed by Miss Rife and Mr. DeSmet, encouraged artistic creation and art ap- preciation by providing a means for art students to share their ideas and techniques while ren- dering valuable service to the school. Led by oHicers Judy Giardiniere, Pres, Bob- bie Morrison, V. Pres, Sylvia Pinsky, Sea, and Christ Batchelor, Treas, the Art Club per- formed numerous activities during the year. The major activity was the purchase of blackout curtains for the art room. This was made pos- sible through the sale of small ceramic Vikings, Norland trolls, and picture post cards of the school. Other activities included the creation of the colorful activity calendars for the showcase, the production of the posters used for advertis- ing various school activities, and the formula- tion of plans for another mural in the cafeteria or the library. The year was climaxed with the Third Annual Art Show. Utilizmg a paintbrush in one of the fznal stages of techni- cal procedure, judy Giardiniere carefully colors her stitchery.
