THE BIRTH OF ST. LOUIS HE painting on the drop curtain in the Roosevelt auditorium portrays Laclede, Chouteau, and the Indians beginning the settlement of St. Kflbl Louis. The painter, Paul Cornoyer, a native St. Louisan, was an artist of merit. He painted the picture, The Birth of St. Louis , for the staircase of the Planter's Hotel, receiving SL000 commission for the work. After a very eventful career, Mr. Cornoyer died in Massachusetts in 1923. When the hotel was closed in l9Z2, the picture was given to the Board of Education. Temporarily placed at Central High School, it was later given to Roosevelt High School for its auditorium. Recently this painting was valued at 55,000 All Rooseveltians should be proud of this splendid and valuable work of art. PROPERTY COMMITTEE Twelve
