THE JUNIOR YEAR BOOK. TURNER ART EXHIBIT. January 29, 30, 31, 1908, the Horace K. Turner Free Travelling Art Ex hibit was held in Philomathian Hall. The Exhibit proved to be a grand success. It was open to the public both afternoons and evenings of the above dates, for Only a small admission. The works of art consisted of reproductions of the most famous master¬ pieces in painting, sculpture and architecture, along with many of the most interesting modern paintings. During the evening of the Exhibit, entertainments were given by the High School and Grade pupils, which were enjoyed very much by all. The Glee Clubs rendered numerous selections, and short plays were given. Another chief feature was the candy booth. On the first evening the Seniors sold candy, on the second evening the Juniors and Sophomores and on the third, the Freshmen. Each class decided that with the proceeds from its candy sales, it would buy a picture for the High School. The real purpose of the Exhibit was to obtain pictures for the school. No doubt these pictures which have been purchased will be of great benefit to it, for, as President Elliott of Harvard University says, l, The best place to incul¬ cate the love of the beautiful is in the school room.” The following pictures were purchased with the proceeds:— For the High School. “Aurora,” size 10 in. x 22 in., colored, cost $10.50 with the frame. “Head of Christ,” Hoffman, size, 14 x 17 in., brown print, cost with frame, $5.24. “Holy Night, size 14 x 17 in., brown print, cost with frame, $5.00. “Niagara Falls,” general view, size 22 x 24 in. brown print, cost with the frame, $10.00. “Cicero’s Oration Against Cataline,” size 18 x 22 in., brown print, cost with frame, $8.50. For the Grades. “Deer in Forest,” size 25 x 22 in., brown print, cost without frame, $9.00. “Head of Christ,” size, 18 x 22 in., cost without frame, $4.00. “By the Riverside,” size, 20 x 24, brown print, cost without frame, $4.50.
