f ' QQ V' X 'Tr'--s'T'5K LV lin , ART SOCIETY CD T has justly been said of the Art Society that that organization, though . rendering a valuable and far reaching service to the school, has never QD? Sq U I I I I I I I I 5? been accorded due recognition in club affairs. This is because it is QBISI Ixoe sl U inherently a quiet and unassuming body which cannot share in the if if limelight that comes naturally to many other clubs. Nevertheless, the order of its industry, of which the walls of our building contain abundant proof, can never be doubted. Nearly all the art Work gracing the pages of this book, in fact, has had its origin and has achieved its perfection under the auspices of the Art Society. Mr. D'Andrea is the guiding spirit of this small, artistic group, and through his assistance the members develop their natural creative instincts to the fullest capacity. The Palette is the official medium through which the society conveys the news of its activities to the school at large. The officers are: President ................. ...............

Its popular concerts have been most entertaining, and have drawn a large attendance weekly in the Study Hall. This semester was the first term that it has not been 'J ' under the guiding hand of Mr. Weinberg, former member of the Harris Art Department, and now associated with the College in a similar posi- tion. Accordingly, Mr. Mandeville was invited to take up the office of faculty advisor. He has fulfilled his duties with great success. Because of our fortunate possession of a Duo-Art piano, musical programs were most often presented. The language societies cooperated in those pro- grams which bore some relation to the purpose and ideals of the various clubs and contributed much to their success. A very novel innovation was instituted this term in the form of the dis- tribution of mimeographed program sheets to every attendant at the concerts. Under the name of each selection to be played on that particular day, was a brief explanatory note on the composer and number. The officers to whom much credit is due for the capable management of the society are: P1'e.fidem' ................,..............,..................................... ALAN E.

Worthy of mention was the lecture of Professor Baldwin. His topic, A Drop of Water, proved so interesting and entertaining that after every seat and inch of standing room had been utilized, the door of the lecture room had to be locked to keep out the swarm of students who were still desirous of gaining admission. The membership of the club this semester has increased noticeably, and much of its popularity is due to the faculty advisor, Dr. Wetzel. The officers, whose dynamic energy and purpose have guided the club this semester, are: Preridenz ...............,..... ........... R EUBEN FINE Vice-Preria'enr ......... ...........
