The members volunteered their artistic services to teachers by designing and beautifying bulletin boards in their classrooms. Other club projects were special decorations for the holiday 5 season and the advent of sprmg.

Silk Screeners Print Publicity WJ students, should they be temporarily at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, will find a bit of home on the walls of the auditorium.

Those of them who needed outlets for their crea- tive impulses additional to one period a day joined the Art Club which, among other cultural activities, created the ingenious seasonal bulletin b o a r d s around school.

Some days it seems as if I had two left hands, groans Sue Rudman as she runs off a silk screen during her art class.
