Developing the Feather Touch Did you ever wonder what went on in the art room? l-lere's a typical period's work: The class starts with a quick sketch from a student model. After that, the cautious students finish their two-week old clay pottery projects while the rest of the class works on the new Spring composition. The privileged juniors get their heads to- gether with lVlr. Reis and lVliss Shipman and discuss prom plans. After school on Wednesday nights, too, many students use room 102 to work on party decorations, class projects, and the prom theme. Two of lVlr. Reis' water-colors were exhibited during the month of April at the Wisconsin Painters' and Sculptors' 'A' Top: Model students model clay. A. Jordan, Mr. Reis, R. Herber, B. Suckow. Exhibit.

HWhen in Rome--', The new Latin Club of a few years ago has grown into an active, purposeful organization, boasting a large member- ship of enthusiastic students. lts officers for this term were Mary l..ou Gehl, presidentg Jo Anne Schowal- ter, vice-president: and Marilyn Bohn, secretary-treasurerg elected from among the second-year Latin students. Every month the Latin Club took over the main room for its meetings, the various Latin sections providing the pro- grams of entertainment. After filling its treasury by means of a magazine subscription drive, the club bought a war bond and in spring gave a huge banquet carried out in true Roman style, with togas, slaves, and all the rest. The banquet was served by the first year members of the club representing Roman slaves. The other club members and fac- ulty were costumed as nobles and patri- 'A' cians of ancient Rome.
