THE QUILL for 1916 Art Notes HE year 1915 and ,16 brought many new pupils tg the studio. Soon after both old and new girls had settled earnestly to work, a sketching party visited the little Red House, where, as usual, many studies were made, showing how quickly the girls entered into the spirit of work. A few 'weeks later, we went to Nikko lnnf' here there was everything to sketch, from the little Japanese structure itself, surrounded by shadowy dark green pools, to the golden-brown foliage against a bright blue October sky. On the way home, a stop was made at the old Van Cortland Manor House. But the greatest treat of all was the day we went to Rock Ledge, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Arnold. Some of the finest views of the Hudson can be seen from their porches and lawns. Soon after the Christmas holidays, the classes in architecture and painting visited the Metropolitan Museum. Here we had the great pleasure of seeing an exhibition at the Architectural League. All were much interested in the modern paintings, espe- cially the works of Arthur Crisp, and the large mural painting of New York City Harbor. The beautiful Italian garden was a joy to remember. Cn February 12th, the Art Studio gave 2111 evening on Classic Art interpreted by sculpture and paintinv D' . The lecture on Spanish Paintingv by M155 Hellllie en Earl Wicks was greatly enjoyed. The class in History of Painting found the warm, rich Cclors of sunny Spain and its painters reminded them ot Rembrandt and his. golden tones. ' During the long period of work from early JHUU' 31'Y.llI1'til March, there were many heavy snow-stormS, Whlch QHVG new ideas to each girl, and a desire to become a XValter Palmer, at once.

.ui lug UNIIXNAN HE OPEN SECRET, a farce in tvvo acts by Marion T. Campbell, was produced on Friday evening, Novem- ber 19th, under the management of Miss Graff. The first scene reveals a boarding-school girl in great dis- tress. Having impulsively used up the money sent by her .mother for the purchase of furnishings for her room, and expecting h-er mother soon, the girl resolves to call upon her various friends in this time of need so that she may borrow all sorts of furniture and trimmings from them.. The friends faithfully respond, and the effect upon the girl's mother and younger sister adds much to the liveliness of the play. Madge Apthorpe fschool girll ..........
