ART It is not unusual in the late spring or early fall, when the weather is favorable, to see art students sally forth with drawing boards, water colors, chalk, charcoal, and other implements of their trade to transfer a bit of the landscape to paper All the art classes, including the first semester, the second semester, and advanced art classes, have the op ' portunity to enjoy this type of work at least once or twice , , n r , , during the course. In the Art Room after school ° These out-of-door expeditions are, however, only a small part of the varied program arranged for her classes by Miss Helen Sawyer, director of the art department. Sometime during each semester the Art One students study the great American artists, modern illustrators, commercial artists, and also the most important methods of reproduction. Art Two people take up the lives and works of eminent European artists; and the Advanced Art classes study various phases of art or architecture, perhaps carving skyscrapers from Ivory soap, or constructing intersecting vaults to make the study more vivid. At Christmas time there is remarkable activity in the vicinity of the printing press, for hundreds of linoleum block prints are produced for greeting cards, to say nothing of the prints obtained on various parts of the printers anatomies. At other times there have been many people in the art room expressing a strong desire to dye. However, life, it seems, is not always so undesirable, for during the deepest de- pression many of these same art students were making purses, which suggests that they must have had plenty with which to fill them. Aside from their craft problems and their regular class work, many of the Students have shown initiative in art work for various other departments and activities in school such as making posters for advertising purposes, all the art work m the Kipi, and a frieze that it is hoped will in the future adorn the walls of the sewing room.

JEAN lONE ABER Everybody knows Jean ' s cartoons. She absolutely drew her way into our hearts to say nothing of Student Coun- cil, Kipi Staff, Orchestra, R girls. Commercial Honor Club, Audubon. G. A. A., French Club, and the Car- toon Club. STANLEY ADAMOV1TZ Adam is one of the boys whose talents are devoted to the more manly arts. He was a member of the Radio Club and was one of those hard work- ing printers who make our school paper possible. SOPHIE ADELMAN History class has no qualms for Sophie — E+ ' s are no novelty tor her. She must always study when she isn ' t busy with Orchestra, German Club, G. A. A., Commercial Club, S. C. A. cashier or bank cashier jobs. She ' s a sportswoman, too. See her R JAMES ALBRIGHT Tall, dark, and handsome, but one who has not centered his attentions on any certain tair one. He joined the Senior Hi-Y after a colorful initiation, did not slight Cartoon, German, and Stamp Clubs, and was elected Senior Class vice-president. DOROTHEA M. AMUNDSON They didn ' t laugh when Dorothy sat do.wn at the piano, because they knew she was good. That she accom- panied the orchestra proves that. Talking to Marge about (whom do you suppose ' ' ) takes up a lot of her time. W , FRED ANDERSON Fred said that he expected to grad- uate in June, but he forgot to name the year. Well, regardless of the year he graduates from Park High, we ' ll miss his services as one of the printers of the Beacon. ORVAL H. ANDERSON Everything comes to him who waits: what is or expecting to get Maybe another extra topic, for how he goes for extra topics. Being bank cashier and in the German Club, be- sides, kept him busy, plenty busy! WALLACE BARTELS Oh, lust call me Coach! Wally ' s been a manager so long that he knows almost as much as coach himself. He has been seated in the Student Coun- cil, and on Thursdays took dimes from members of the S. C. A. WILLIAM BASS Music has charms for Bill as his playing in the orchestra and band proves. He is violently opposed to homework, even in small quantities, because it interferes with his basket- ball, at which he is very skillful. t JOHN J. BATENBURG | Kipi Staff, Dramatics, S. C. A., and Bank cashier. Rifle Club, Audubon, and track. Bigosh, how can one man do so much and Still have time left tor , the one and only. Just a gift, eh, Johnny? ALICE ANDERSON Al knows when to keep quiet and when to make a noise, as we know from her high school career. Though most quiet usually, let her loose in the orchestras and band and she will make noise a-plenty. DEAN ANDERSON A tall quiet fellow who can do his school work if in the right mood. He has not taken part in many activities, but he has represented his roll call room on the Student Council and that does not indicate poor marks. 1 n i SENIOR A ' S MILDRED V. BEGGS And when it comes to musical in- struments, she fiddles on them, she blows on them! She played the bass viol in the Orchestra, and the trom- bone in the band, and she plays the piano. The latter only for herself and friends. GILBERT BERTHELSEN His use ot Deutsche verbs and nouns in the Verein makes him an ex- pert in the language of the Eskimo. Gibby plays basketball but didn ' t try out for the team. You under- stand, he didn ' t want to put the regu- lars in the shade.
