MISS LEONE CASS BAER, teacher of Drawing and art editor of The Echo.” is an artist of na- tive ability. Her excellence is to be attributed more to natural aptitude than to training, of which she has had comparatively little. Her work is stamped by originality and individuality. She spent four weeks in Art work in Chicago last spring and will spend this summer there also. This winter she won first honor in a competitive contest given by the Crown Piano Company for the best drawing of their piano, receiving $ 0.00 and a very complimentary letter from the manage- ment. There were over 3.000 contestants from all parts of the United States. She was recently called to a city in Iowa to make an illustration for a manufacturing firm. Miss Baer’s watchword is: Be original: he who imitates is lost. 20
