5 3.5 1 ll' 7 The Art Picnic lf X W N the beautiful evening ot' .luly 13, 1915, which was a very unlucky day for those who do not belong to the Art Department, the teachers 4, and students ol' the Art De iartment -fave one ol' the tinest s xreads is l at Nlctlulloch Park that the eyes ot' modern man has ever looked upon. XVhen the feast was spread, it was with great dill'iculty that the students were persuaded to retrain from partaking long enough to have Miss Sinclair and Nlr. Bishop take snap shots ol' the bounties and their destroyers. XVhen supper was announced all the members ot' the department turned traitor to the cause for which they stand and instead ot' making beautiful pictures they all set to destroy a beautiful picture which the table presented. This picture had been made possible by the ellicient work ot' the conunittee in charge. For lack ol' forethought they began eating in a standing position but after eating so long, as has been said before, Necessity is the mother ot' in- vention. and they invented a way ol' sitting down. This was done by means ot' those who were yet able to carry seats. carrying them for the helpless and themselves. 'l'he lirsl course over and the table cleared, Mr. Bishop showed his ability as a spooncr lot' ice cream! because he used a spoon in the absence of a dipper, and the guests were served with ice cream. 'l'hey were all very modest at this part ol' the supper, eating on an average ot' tive dishes ot' cream apiece. But as usual Nlr. Cartwright took the belt although Miss Trout ate till she was sick trying to outdo him in the contest. Along with the cats went the witty sayings such as only the Art De- partment can produce and the motto ot' the occasion was, laugh and the world laughs with you, XVl'Ilil' and you weep alone. This picnic, the like of which can never again be produced, will long be a pleasant memory in the minds ot' those present. ltah, rah. rah. ltah, rah. rah. llah, rah. rah, .trt llcpartnicntt 719.

X i HE Penmanship Department is recognized not only in this part ot' 551'-5 the slate, hut in all parts of the slate, and in t'act in every state ol' 1:81 the l'nion. The students from this department are now teaching penmanship in many good schools. ll' we had space we would give names ol' a very large number who are making good along the penmanship lines. such as business writers, card writing, engraving and as special teachers. XVe have in this department one ol' thc hcst known pcnmen in the states, and is recognized hy every great pemnan ot the l'nited States. He is an up-to-date man in teaching pedagogically all lilies ot' penmanship from the start to the Iinished product. Ile has in this Annual a portrait, lil'e size, ot' Nlr. Kelly, which was made with a pen freehand without print or any instru- ment for measurement other than the well trained eye ot' his. The picture is valued at 5200. There are a number ot' classes each day where rapid muscular movement writing is taught, in the most practical up-to-dale method. A great numlrer ol' students come to this school in preference to others on account ot' superior advantages they get in learning the most practical style ol' lnusiness penman- ship and getting methods ot' teaching it. There is nothing I value higher than the training I received in this insti- tution in the penmanship lines. My testimony is the testimony ol' hundreds ot' others. Anyone finishing any hraneh ol' thc work, such as husiness writing. will receve a certificate, and on linishing two or more lines ot' the penmanship work, such as lettering or engrossing. will receive a diploma.
