We have had wonderful opportunities for enthusiasm this year. The Newark Art Club offered several contests for posters, illustrating their various lectures. The subjects depicted in these problems were especially appealing to the young artists. A prize was awarded to the winner of the best poster for each lecture. George Foy and Lyman Conger won several of the prizes. The Kresge Department Store offered the school six competitions for posters illustratin g distinctive departments in the store. Three prizes and one honorable mention were given for each group. Dorothy Gann, George Foy and Lyman Conger were among the group of day students who won recognition. These poster contests have brought us into close contact with the commercial world. They have put a new vitality into our work. We feel the urge of creating for the uses of mankind. Among posters for the Architectural Exhibition held in the Newark Museum, the first prize was awarded to George Foy. The third year class submitted eight posters suitable for a cover to be used by the House Beautiful Magazine. Among the 135 covers chosen to go on a travelling exhibit throughout the country are the designs of Dorothy Gann, Marguerite Fredericks, Lyman Conger, George Foy and Fred Maurer.
