,445 Varied Personalities Find Expression in Color and Line X. J ' x Learning to draw interesting shapes with simple lines is one of the first lessons taught in art class. Working in the new studio are Diana Wilson, Maria Andrews, and Sandy Jeorse. Saint Mary's artists had the opportunity to test their talents in the art course added to the cur- riculum this year. The classes stressed creative de- sign, but included a study of the works of the masters, also. The studio in Moreau Manor, with new equipment, became a home for the artis- tically-minded. Many media were included in the course. Po- tential designers experimented with poster paint, water color, lndia ink, charcoal, oils, mosaic, cra- yons, and combinations of these. They tried col- lage, paper sculpture posters, murals, and music interpretations.

Rhythm, balance, em- phasis and proportion were the guides to unity in variety, the test of good art. Afternoon trips to Saint Mary's College and Notre Dame gave personal contact with originals of mas- ters, old and new. Who wouldn't enioy seeing the pencil sketches of Matisse, the paintings of Bech- man, Leger, Kandinsky, and others, as well as the sculpture of Mestrovic? This background enabled eager proteges to pro- duce beautiful paintings and eye-catching posters, such as those for the Science Fair exhibit, The Story of Circulation. Margaret Quilty makes a rough outline of her mosaic cross in the new art studio.

Basic Business Skills Lay Three-minute iaunts to Moreau Manor became daily routine for students taking shorthand and typing. The typing class en- ioyed a routine break and change of scen- ery, however, when it moved to the newly remodeled classroom. During the opening weeks, fifty-eight keys seemed too much to manipulate with only ten fingers, but practice improved both co-ordination and accuracy. Then the timings started. By the second semester, however, words came much faster than the ticking time-clock. Soon office proced- ure began and, though manuscripts and letters might have seemed monotonous, the experience proved to be very practical for term papers as well as for future writ- ing assignments in other classes. Those who wished to prepare for busi- ness careers, or who wanted to increase note-taking speed, which would certainly prove helpful in college, entered the short- hand class. A sharp pencil point became a necessity, for an extra dot or curlicue could alter the entire sense of a dictation. The talents fostered in these commer- cial courses were extremely beneficial to each day's classwork, in addition to laying the foundation for efficient secretarial work.
