STUDIO On September 18, 1923, some timid new students wandered into the studio and stood around taking it in. Then for lack of something to do, they examined a few old posters that were made by the wonder- ful students of the year before. Gradually the old students strolled in, late as usual, gave the poor new comers the once over and without a word of welcome stuck their noses in the air and walked to their desks. Bored! Well, Pll say they looked it. HOhl where are all the old students? This place is deadf kept running through their minds. The new students, standing on one foot and then on the other, trying to look important, waited anxiously for Mr. Boebinger tor was it pronounced Bobinger'n At last our lives were saved when Mr. Boebinger came in and started us on the drawing of the box. 011, how thrilling! The box did not seem to impress any of us, but work we did just the same. Silence in the studioehang! A door opened and shut. In breezed a young man whom we later found to be Earl Edwards, the cut-up of the studio. He shouted twe jumpedl. ttKeep your seats, girls. tWVell, what kind of fellow is this; hope he isnt here all the time, we all thought. But we soon got used to him. In fact we miss him very much now he has left us. Gradually the old students dropped their bored look when they found we were not such bad sports. We new students began to feel at home. Now just look at the fun we have together with our studio parties, a valentine party, and all the other good times. After Xmas vacation we were all glad to get back, and oh, how much work we planned to do. Some of it got done and some didnltt Arguments, usually with Mr. Dvorak in the lead, on all subjects were the excuses for the other work not getting done. When all is said and done, there is really only one tplacelethe studio. We now have with us: Gruna Rubin, the most popular girl, always raving over someone like Barbara La Marr and Ramon Navarro. Hal. Miller, our all-around student; also the syncopated jazz player. Lee Ovendon, the dancing fool, who is also getting to be an expert making ham and egg signs. How do you spell frankfurter, Lee? Mr. Driskell, the U. S. Veteian animated cartoon artist; also the papa of the studio. Earl Hopper, the Rodolph of the studio; always working hard CU Cecilia Thelan, who never says a word, but who believes in the milk wash. Mr. Dvorak, the studio adviser. Bee and Mickey, the everlasting gigglers; always in trouble. Louis Hemsath, the man of the studio. Virginia Ellis, our vogue model, Who has just returned to us. Rosemary Mac Duff, the mashed potato fiend. We are sorry to say that Allen Sawyer is not here any more on account of illness, but we hope to have him back next year. eRuth Williams. J
