After a dramatic argument, a verdict of not guilty is finally reached.

However, the farmer manages to pay the sum just in the nick of time, the villain is exposed, and the play ends happily. Speaker of the Prologue ,...................,...,.......

SOUTH KENT SCHOOL THE ART CLUB Work in the Art Room this year has been consider- ably more extensive and organized than in recent years. This is due to the work of Mrs. Wood who has taken over its organization. Mr. Smith was also most active in behalf of the artists. One great booster to the Art Room was the creation of the Housatonic Art Association com- posed of nine private schools in our area. The Associa- tion had a traveling art show in January, of which four of the thirty works displayed were by South Kent stu- dents. Legare Cuyler won first prize in the Graphics- Drawing division for a monotype print of a held. Work by Jon Richards was also exhibited. This spring Jeff Stoddard won a prize for a design of an emblem for the Housatonic Art Association. The work of the club has been mostly in charcoal sketching and small sculpture. Comparatively little work has been done in either oil or water color. Some block WWW U fi printing was also done and we are awaiting the day when we may have silk screeing equipment. Besides Cuyler, Richards, and Stoddard, the current members of the Art Club are Bill Heuss, Craig and Scot Kuhner, Nate Tracy, Mike Ward, and Bill Riker. The club thanks Mrs. Wood and Mr. Smith for their able assistance to the Art Room.
