5 fi QS A A 4 The Paint and Palette club, as one can judge from the name, is one which deals with art. Its main purpose is to create among the high school students more in- terest in art. Anyone who is interested in the activi- ties of the society is eligible for membership. The club holds its regular meetings on alternate Tuesday nights. The programs usually in- clude a talk which is given by someone who is promi- nent in art work of any kind and several musical se- lections. One of the club's most interesting programs of the year was given by Mr. Leslie Young Correth- ers, who is an instructor in both art and English at Keith school. His topic was Modern Art in Europe and America. His talk was doubly interesting be- cause he had traveled in Europe the previous summer in order to study art and, thus, gave the club members first-hand informa- tion to make his talk Paint and Palette OFFICERS First Semester President BERYL PERRY Vice-President MYRTLE ELLIOTT Secretary JEAN LAUDER Treasurer MARY BACILEK Second Semester President JEAN MILLER Vice-President MALIN BAKKELUND I Secretary HERVOR BENGSTON Treasurer NEVA PETERSON Advisor MISS FLOY DENTLER clearer. He showed ma- terial he had secured in Europe and also some art work which had been done by various students at Keith school. ln October the club held an art exhibit which con- sisted of pieces of work done by the club members. The two prizes for the best work were awarded to Neva Peterson and Eliza- beth Braid. The first afternoon party of the school year was the one sponsored by this socie- ty which proved to be a huge success. -Members of the Rock- ford College Art club were entertained at an afternoon tea by the members of the Paint and Palette club. A program was given which consisted of violin selec- tions by the club or- chestra and several dancing numbers. Another very inter- esting program the so- ciety had this year was given by a sculptor at Rockford College. Myrtle Elliott Mildred Elliott Beryl Perry W ' ' fa! one hundred sixty-two Q Gr

Occasionally the club as a group attends dramatic productions. This year as in previous years, the club members made and sold pom-poms for the Elgin football game. One of the high lights of the club's social calendar was the evening pa rty which was sponsored dur- ing the first semester. The club presented an individ- ual assembly and also par- ticipated in the Annual as- sembly, giving a short play which had been written by one of the membersg like many clubs it contributed to the fund for the purchase of the school moving-pic- ture machine. At the Christ- mas season the members played the part of the good fellow by donating five dol- lars to a poor family. The club has been of worth to the school in that it has made va- rious improvements in the dramatic art room, having made over the property room. e Ethel Hagge Margaret Ramsey fWf fdgaf aa one hundred sixty-one i Y Y Qt
