Z g N ART ? l Q 7 . . 'N A SPLASH, a dash, an original flash--Art! Our ideas transform themselves from mere inspirations ? to concrete forms. The moulding of a menagerie, a 1 village, a piece of pottery, even the weaving of a rug- these give up their complex secrets and become a 4 part of our second nature if we will but try our hand X h t them. 4 9 3 Q 7 . . 5 When we step through the doors of appreciation, D W all visual life opens before us. A miniature art if X! 1 i X gallery becomes ours by collecting pictures of both ' 1 f ? ancient and modern artists. Vicarious experiences Q lead us to feel that we can LENAAROGERS ' understand, in a small meas- ure, the architecture of the ages. We are made aware of Q , the fact that our surround- X . ' ings are not merely bricks and ' ' pfaster, but contain many A ly replicas of famous statues Q ,7 N and beautiful pictures. By means of these, the cultural - side of our life is enriched. 1 4 ' . ,f gg Our Workshop g S I 4 ELIZABETH G.

'W AK YW W' W W' W -v X 1 Libr. 8,1 MUSIC SOUND your tone, please, is like the motion of the organist when ready to strike the first notes of a composition. Though the score calls for a musical interpretation of a sunset, the student body responds as a great organ to the touch of a master. Mighty is the power invested in such a small stick which guides with a sure hand the members of orchestra and chorus through the majestic measures of Handel' s Hallelujah Chorus. Music is a universal language, unrestrained by CAROL M. HOLLAND tongue or race 3 hence we are not limited to the crea- I tions of our own nation. x We can no more disregard the beating of a tom-tom than we can the strains of a symphony, for its expression is more than a mere mechanical re- production of sounds. Thus, in time, the con- quest of notes will lead us to The Land of Heart's Desire. An flpprccinlinn Lemon - --1 LUCILE BURKHARDT HELEN I. SCHUTT syn Z4 WW 1 a V I 0 ' Alf s as 0. 0, A I8

Z 5 X ENGLISH Q ARE you not curious to learn what is hidden in the X Q Kingdom of Language? May we presume to state X that the English Department has the power to carry Q Q us into the realms of mythology, dramatics and Z 1 journalism through the medium of language as 1 f A expressed in literature? Here the practical and aes- , thetic find expression and give an outlook which will 4 ? Q f lead to further questionings and explorations. X N Through actual experience in speaking under guidance, much of the terror usually attendant upon 3 JOHN H. PARRY public speaking is averted. The Classroom Theater YQ ' and the Studio afford those dramatically inclined an op- A portunity to act a part and 5 construct scenery. Glimpses 7 N Z into the intmate lives of the Grelek gods and goddesses, together with those heroes of V Q the North, lead us to the be- lief that human nature is 5 the same yesterday, today 4 and forever.
